Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Shore Thing Home Repair 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.

We believe that all people should have equal access to information and services on our website, regardless of their abilities or the technologies they use to access the web.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities including:

• Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)
• Hearing impairments
• Motor impairments
• Cognitive disabilities

WCAG guidelines are organized around four principles that provide the foundation for web accessibility:

• Perceivable: Information must be presentable in ways users can perceive
• Operable: User interface components must be operable
• Understandable: Information and operation must be understandable
• Robust: Content must be robust enough to work with current and future technologies

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features on our website:

Navigation & Structure

• Skip Navigation: A "skip to main content" link allows keyboard users to bypass the navigation menu
• Semantic HTML: We use proper heading hierarchy and semantic elements (nav, main, footer, etc.)
• Breadcrumbs: Navigation breadcrumbs help users understand their location within the site
• Consistent Navigation: Navigation is consistent across all pages

Visual Design

• Color Contrast: Text and interactive elements maintain sufficient color contrast ratios
• Text Scaling: The site supports browser text scaling and zoom functionality
• Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators show which element is currently selected
• Responsive Design: The website adapts to different screen sizes and devices

Content & Media

• Alt Text: Images include descriptive alternative text
• Descriptive Links: Link text is descriptive and makes sense out of context
• Form Labels: All form fields have associated labels
• Error Messages: Form validation provides clear error messages

Keyboard Accessibility
