Digital Accessibility Statement

Conformance Standard

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of accessibility: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

PorterPet.com is engineered to conform with WCAG 2.2 Level AA guidelines.

Accessibility Features Implemented

• Semantic HTML5 Structure: Logical heading hierarchies (H1 through H4) and landmark regions (main, nav, header, footer).
• Keyboard Navigation: Complete keyboard accessibility for interactive elements, with visible 3px focus rings and focus traps within sliding drawers and modals.
• Skip Navigation: Direct skip-to-content links enabling screen-reader and keyboard users to bypass header navigation.
• Color Contrast: Strict adherence to minimum 4.5:1 text contrast ratios against background surfaces for high readability.
• Descriptive Alt Text: Meaningful alternative text on all photographic elements depicting real clinic staff, patients, and facility spaces.
• Reduced Motion Support: CSS media queries respecting user operating system preferences for prefers-reduced-motion.
• No Artificial Overlays: Built on clean, native code rather than unreliable third-party widget overlays that interfere with assistive tech.
