Accessibility Standards We Follow
We follow established guidelines. These standards help us build an accessible website. They provide a clear framework. These guidelines are widely recognized. They help us ensure digital inclusion. Our adherence to these standards is a priority.
WCAG Guidelines
We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The World Wide Web Consortium created them. These guidelines provide a path to accessibility. They cover many aspects of web design. They cover how to make content perceivable. They ensure content is operable. They make sure content is understandable. They also ensure content is robust.
Following WCAG helps us in many ways. It ensures our site works with screen readers. It helps people who use keyboards only. It makes our site usable for people with low vision. Our goal is full WCAG compliance. This is a journey of continuous improvement. We regularly check our site against these rules.
ADA Compliance
We also work towards ADA compliance. ADA stands for the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is an important law. It requires public accommodations to be accessible. This includes websites. Our commitment to ADA standards is strong. We want our website to be available to everyone in the United States. This is a core part of our digital strategy.
ADA compliance aligns with WCAG guidelines. Following WCAG helps us meet ADA requirements. It is a legal and ethical obligation. We believe accessible design is good for everyone. It helps us reach a wider audience. It improves the user experience for all.
Features That Support Accessibility
We have implemented several features. These features make our site more accessible. We focused on common accessibility needs. We want our site to work with assistive technology. These features make our content usable for more people.
Keyboard Navigation
You can use our website without a mouse. You can navigate it with a keyboard alone. We have designed our site for this. You can use the “Tab” key to move. You can move between links and buttons. The focus is visible. You can see which element is active. This is crucial for users with motor disabilities. It also helps users who prefer keyboard shortcuts.
Our menus are fully navigable. Our calculators are usable. You can enter data with your keyboard. You can press “Enter” to submit. We have tested this functionality. We believe this feature is important for digital inclusion.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Our site is compatible with screen readers. These tools read content out loud. They help people with visual impairments. We use proper HTML tags. We use clear headings and labels. This helps screen readers understand our content.
For example, all images have alternative text. This “alt text” describes the image. A screen reader can read this description. Our forms have labels. Our buttons are clearly described. This makes our site usable for people who are blind. We test our site with common screen readers. We want to ensure a smooth experience for all.
Text Alternatives and Contrast
We provide text alternatives for non-text content. This is a core WCAG guideline. It includes “alt text” for images. It includes captions for videos. This helps people with visual or hearing impairments. It ensures everyone can get the same information.
We also use good color contrast. The contrast between text and background is high. This makes the text easy to read. It helps people with low vision. It also helps people viewing our site in bright light. We use a clear, readable font. This is another part of our accessible design.
Continuous Improvements in Accessibility
Our work is not finished. We are always working on accessibility. We see it as a continuous process. We regularly audit our website. We use automated tools for checking. We also do manual testing. This helps us find new issues. We learn new things every day. We make updates as needed.
We are committed to ongoing education. Our team learns about new guidelines. We stay current with technology. Our goal is to maintain a high level of accessibility. This commitment to improvement is very important to us.
Third-Party Content and Tools
We use some third-party services. These services may include social media widgets. They may include embedded videos. We cannot fully control their accessibility. We choose our partners carefully. We look for vendors who also value accessibility. However, we cannot guarantee their compliance.
If you have issues with third-party content, please let us know. We will investigate the issue. We will try to find a solution. We will pass on your feedback to the third party. Your feedback helps us make better choices in the future.
