Accessibility Features on Our Site

Navigation

Our website includes multiple navigation methods including a main menu, breadcrumb trails on location pages, and a floating dock navigation system for quick access to important sections.

Forms and Interactive Elements

All forms include clear labels, error messages, and instructions. Interactive elements are keyboard accessible and include visible focus indicators.

Color and Contrast

We use colors that meet WCAG AA contrast requirements to ensure text is readable against backgrounds. We do not rely on color alone to convey information.

Text and Typography

Our text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality. We use clear, readable fonts and appropriate text spacing.
