Accessibility

The Standard Applied

This site targets conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.

What That Means in Practice

• Every color combination used for text meets or exceeds the 4.5:1 contrast minimum, and the body text substantially exceeds it. The firm’s light brand color is used only as a background, never as text.
• The entire site can be operated by keyboard alone, and the focus indicator is always visible.
• A "skip to main content" link lets keyboard and screen reader users bypass the navigation.
• Headings follow a logical order, and landmarks identify the header, navigation, main content, and footer.
• The navigation menus and the FAQ accordions are built on accessible primitives with correct roles, states, and Escape handling.
• Form fields have persistent visible labels, errors are described in text rather than signaled by color alone, and a summary of errors receives focus when a submission fails.
• Images that convey meaning have text alternatives; purely decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
• Animation is minimal and is disabled entirely for anyone whose system requests reduced motion.
• Interactive targets meet the minimum size guidance, with larger touch targets on mobile.

How This Is Verified

Accessibility is checked as part of the build rather than reviewed once at the end. Color contrast is asserted automatically, and the build fails if any combination drops below the threshold. An automated accessibility audit runs against every page the build produces, at both mobile and desktop widths, and it additionally checks things the standard tooling does not: the size of interactive targets, the visibility of the focus indicator, heading order, and horizontal overflow.

Automated testing catches perhaps half of the accessibility problems a real user would encounter. It is a floor rather than a guarantee, which is why the report-a-barrier route below matters as much as the testing does.

If You Encounter a Barrier

If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, please tell us. Describe the page and what happened, and include the browser and any assistive technology you were using if you can. It helps us reproduce the problem.

We will respond and work to fix it. If you need information from this site in another format, or would prefer to speak to someone rather than use the website, contact the firm by phone or email and we will assist you that way.
