Accessibility Statement — laemmle.com

Last reviewed: May 3, 2026

Our Commitment

Laemmle Theatres is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to make our website usable by the widest possible audience, including patrons who use assistive technologies.

Conformance Status

We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments.

This site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. "Partially conformant" means that some parts of the content do not yet fully meet the accessibility standard, and we are actively remediating those areas as part of our ongoing improvement program.

Accessibility Tools and Features

To make the laemmle.com experience as accessible as possible, we offer the following:

  • UserWay Accessibility Widget — A floating accessibility menu (bottom-right of every page) that lets you adjust contrast, text size, spacing, cursor, link highlighting, dyslexia-friendly fonts, and more. The widget is provided by UserWay and sets a small preferences cookie so your settings persist across pages.
  • Alternative text for images — Film posters, theatre photos, and other meaningful images include descriptive alt text for screen readers.
  • Keyboard navigation — All interactive elements (menus, filters, ticket selectors, forms) are reachable and operable via keyboard alone.
  • Semantic structure and ARIA — Pages use proper headings, landmarks, and ARIA attributes so assistive technology can announce content correctly.
  • Color contrast — Text and interactive elements meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios.

Alternative Access — We Will Help You Directly

If any feature of our website is inaccessible to you, or if you have difficulty completing a task such as purchasing tickets, viewing showtimes, or accessing program information, please contact us directly and we will assist you personally. We will provide the same information, services, and ticketing options that are available on the website, by phone, email, or in person at the box office.

  • Accessibility considerations integrated into our ongoing site modernization

We take this responsibility seriously.
