A studio built to be used by everyone
At Cherry Hills Kitchens, the same care we bring to a field-measured cabinet run, we bring to our website and our showroom. This statement describes how we work to make both places welcoming, usable, and clear for every person, however they browse, read, or move.

Our Commitment to Accessibility
Cherry Hills Kitchens designs and supplies luxury cabinetry for homes across the greater Denver area, and we believe good design is only good if people can actually reach it. Accessibility is not a checkbox for us; it is part of the same unhurried, precise care that goes into measuring a room before it is priced.
We are committed to making our website, our showroom, and every step of working with us usable by people of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technology or who experience visual, hearing, motor, or cognitive differences. When something falls short, we want to hear about it and put it right.
Standards & Conformance
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines, published by the World Wide Web Consortium, explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.
The frameworks that guide us
- WCAG 2.1 Level AAOur primary target for all pages, forms, and interactive elements across the site.
- ADA Title IIIWe treat our website as an extension of our physical place of business and work to keep it accessible to the public.
- Section 508Where our work involves federal or publicly funded projects, we align with Section 508 requirements.
Conformance is measured against a moving target as our site grows. We describe our current status honestly and note any known gaps in the Known Limitations section below.
Accessibility Features of Our Website
We build with standards-based, semantic HTML and test with real assistive technology. The features below are in place across the site.
- Keyboard navigation supportEvery interactive element - links, buttons, menus, and forms - can be reached and operated using the Tab key and standard keyboard controls, without a mouse.
- Screen reader compatibilityWe use semantic HTML, descriptive ARIA labels, and clear landmark regions so screen readers can announce structure and content accurately.
- Visible focus indicatorsEvery focusable element shows a clear, high-contrast outline when reached by keyboard, so you always know where you are on the page.
- Alt text on meaningful imagesPhotographs of cabinetry, materials, and finishes carry descriptive alternative text; purely decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- Sufficient color contrastText and interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and controls) against their backgrounds.
- Resizable text up to 200%You can zoom or enlarge text to 200% in your browser without losing content or breaking the layout.
- Captions and transcriptsVideo and audio content is provided with captions and, where appropriate, text transcripts.
- Reduced motion supportAnimations and transitions respect your operating system "reduce motion" preference and are minimized or removed when that setting is on.
Accessibility in Our Studio & Stores
Our Cherry Hills studio is where projects are drawn and finishes are chosen. We want every visitor to feel comfortable and unhurried when they arrive.
Wheelchair accessibility
Our entrance is step-free and level, and interior aisles and consultation areas are wide enough to move through comfortably with a wheelchair, walker, or mobility scooter.
Accessible restrooms
Where available at a location, restrooms are configured for accessible use. Please ask a member of our team and we will point the way or assist.
Service animal policy
Service animals are warmly welcome throughout the studio and any showroom space, in keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Accessible parking
Designated accessible parking is available close to our entrance. Let us know your arrival time and we will make sure a space is clear.
Assistance on request
Need a seat, a quieter moment, large-print samples, or a hand carrying materials? Ask any team member, or let us know ahead of your visit and we will have it ready.
Assistive Technologies We Support
We design and test our site to work well with the tools people use every day to browse the web.
Screen readers
Including NVDA and JAWS on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, and TalkBack on Android.
Voice recognition
Voice control tools such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking and built-in voice navigation on modern devices.
Keyboard-only navigation
Full operation using the keyboard alone, for people who do not use a pointing device.
Browser zoom & text scaling
Content remains usable and readable when zoomed or when browser and operating-system text sizes are increased.
Ongoing Efforts & Continuous Improvement
Accessibility is never finished. We treat it as part of the ongoing care of the business, measured and revisited on a regular schedule.
- Regular auditsWe review the site against WCAG 2.1 AA using both automated tools and manual testing.
- User testingWe gather feedback from people who use assistive technology and fold their experience into our work.
- Staff trainingOur design, content, and studio teams are trained on accessible practices so new work starts accessible rather than being retrofitted.
Known Limitations & Areas Under Improvement
We would rather be honest than perfect on paper. At the time of our last review, we are aware of the following areas and are actively working on them:
- Older project galleriesA small number of archived project images may still be missing complete alternative text. We are updating these as we revisit each gallery.
- Downloadable documentsSome older PDF specification sheets are not yet fully tagged for screen readers. We can provide an accessible alternative on request while we remediate them.
- Embedded toolsA few third-party embedded tools do not fully meet our standard; see Third-Party Content below.
If you encounter a barrier that is not listed here, please tell us. Your report helps us prioritize.
Third-Party Content
Some parts of our website rely on services provided by other companies - for example embedded widgets, payment processors, mapping, and shipping or scheduling tools. While we choose partners who share our standards where we can, we do not control the code these services produce, and their accessibility may differ from our own.
If a third-party feature creates a barrier for you, please contact us. We will do our best to provide the same information or complete the same task with you directly, by phone, email, or in person.
Alternative Formats & Assistance Requests
If you need product information, specifications, a quote, a receipt, or any documentation in a different format, we are glad to help. We can provide materials as large print, plain-text email, accessible PDF, or read them to you over the phone.
Simply reach out using the contact details below and tell us what you need and how you would like to receive it. There is no charge for an alternative format, and we will confirm a timeframe when you contact us.
"Architect-grade cabinets a Denver homeowner can actually specify - and a website every homeowner can actually use."
