Case Study: Argosy Cruises achieves WCAG-compliant accessibility with SeaMonster Studios

Argosy Cruises improves link contrast from 1.75:1 to 4.62:1 with SeaMonster Studios

Argosy Cruises, a tourism company, engaged SeaMonster Studios to address significant accessibility challenges on its website. The site was not compliant with WCAG guidelines, presenting issues like poor color contrast, an unclear focus indicator for keyboard users, and a dropdown menu that was inaccessible without a mouse.

SeaMonster Studios implemented a comprehensive accessibility solution. They improved color contrast ratios, created a highly visible custom focus indicator, and developed a keyboard-navigable menu system, reducing the keypresses needed to navigate from 42 to 7. They also helped Argosy revise and prominently feature a personalized accessibility statement. As a result, SeaMonster Studios successfully brought the site into WCAG compliance, demonstrating Argosy's deeper commitment to an inclusive user experience.
