Introduction

Anacortes Handyman 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 achieve these goals. We believe in equal opportunity and access for all visitors to our website and adhere to the guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (A.D.A.).

Objective

We aim to make Anacortes Handyman’s website accessible to people of all abilities. This policy outlines the steps we are taking to achieve A.D.A. compliance.

Standards

Anacortes Handyman aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, a set of guidelines developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure that digital content is accessible to everyone.

Actions

  • Website Evaluation: We regularly review our website using automated tools and manual testing to identify and fix potential accessibility barriers.
  • Content Management: Efforts are made to ensure all new and updated web content meets accessibility standards.
  • Training: Our team undergoes periodic training on A.D.A. compliance and accessibility best practices to maintain and improve our website’s accessibility.

Implementation

  • Text Alternatives: We provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols, or more straightforward language.
  • Adaptable: We ensure that all content is presented in ways that can be perceived without losing information or structure, regardless of sensory abilities.
  • Distinguishable: By separating foreground from background, we make it easier for users to see and hear content.
  • Keyboard Accessible: All content functionality is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes.
  • Enough Time: We provide users with sufficient time to read and use the content.
  • Seizures and Physical Reactions: We avoid designing content in a way that is known to cause seizures or physical reactions.
  • Navigable: We provide ways to help users navigate, find content, and determine where they are.
  • Readable: We make text content readable and understandable.
  • Predictable: We make web pages appear and operate in predictable ways.
