Accessibility Statement for Precision Auto Solutions
Precision Auto Solutions is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all people, including those with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to information and services.
Our Commitment to Web Accessibility
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines outline four main principles: that websites should be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR). By adhering to these principles, we make our website more accessible to people with disabilities.
Measures to Support Accessibility
Precision Auto Solutions takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:
- Including accessibility as part of our mission statement.
- Integrating accessibility throughout our design and development processes.
- Providing accessibility training for our content authors and website developers.
- Performing regular accessibility audits of our website.
- Using assistive technology tools during website testing and development.
WCAG 2.1 Compliance Statement
This website adheres to WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards as much as possible. We continuously monitor our website and implement changes to improve accessibility. Some areas of the website may present challenges, and we are actively working to address these.
ARIA Attributes
We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of our website for users of assistive technologies. ARIA attributes provide semantic meaning to HTML elements, allowing screen readers and other assistive devices to better interpret and convey the content to users. Examples include:
aria-label: Provides a descriptive label for elements, especially useful for icons or buttons.aria-describedby: Links an element to a descriptive text, offering additional context.aria-hidden: Hides elements from assistive technologies when they are purely decorative or redundant.aria-live: Informs assistive technologies about content updates in dynamic areas of the page.role: Defines the semantic role of an element, such as "navigation" or "article."
For example, the "Dark Mode" toggle button utilizes aria-label to inform screen reader users of its purpose:
<button class="dark-theme-toggle" aria-label="Toggle Dark Theme" onclick="toggleDarkTheme()">...</button>Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can use the "Tab" key to move between interactive elements, "Enter" to activate links and buttons, and arrow keys to navigate within menus and lists. A skip link is provided at the top of each page to allow users to bypass the main navigation and jump directly to the main content area.
We continuously test our website with keyboard navigation to ensure that all interactive elements are reachable and usable without a mouse. If you encounter any issues with keyboard navigation, please contact us so we can address them promptly.
Color Contrast
We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors, meeting WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements. This is essential for users with low vision or color blindness. Our standard color palette uses CSS variables to ensure maintainability and consistency throughout the site. The dark theme provides an alternative color scheme with enhanced contrast for users who prefer a darker interface.
The following table provides an overview of our color contrast ratios:
| Element | Foreground Color | Background Color | Contrast Ratio | WCAG 2.1 AA Compliant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Text | var(--text-color) |
var(--background-color) |
4.5:1 or higher | Yes |
| Large Text | var(--text-color) |
var(--background-color) |
3:1 or higher | Yes |
| Links | var(--link-color) |
var(--background-color) |
4.5:1 or higher | Yes |
| Buttons | var(--light-color) |
var(--primary-color) |
4.5:1 or higher | Yes |
