Accessibility Statement for Precision Auto Solutions
Precision Auto Solutions is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to information.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We believe that everyone deserves access to information and services online, regardless of disability. We are dedicated to making our website accessible to the widest possible audience, conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
Our efforts include:
- Providing alternative text for images and other non-text elements.
- Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
- Using clear and consistent navigation.
- Making our website responsive and usable on various devices and screen sizes.
- Using semantic HTML to ensure proper structure and meaning for screen readers.
- Providing captions and transcripts for multimedia content.
- Regularly testing our website with assistive technologies and users with disabilities.
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Precision Auto Solutions is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.
We are actively working to address any identified accessibility issues and improve our conformance to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
Assistive Technologies
Our website is designed to be compatible with a variety of assistive technologies, including:
- Screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver
- Screen magnifiers
- Speech recognition software
- Keyboard navigation
We regularly test our website with these technologies to ensure optimal performance.
Specific Accessibility Features
The Precision Auto Solutions website incorporates the following accessibility features:
- Alternative Text: All images have descriptive alternative text to convey their meaning to users of screen readers. This ensures that even if an image cannot be seen, its purpose and content are understood. For instance, the service icons, like the one for "Brake Services," are accompanied by descriptive alt text such as "Brake repair and replacement service" so screen reader users know exactly what that icon represents.
- Keyboard Navigation: The entire website can be navigated using a keyboard, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all content and functionality. We've ensured logical tab order so that navigation is intuitive and predictable.
- Color Contrast: Sufficient color contrast is used throughout the website to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness. We adhere to WCAG guidelines for color contrast ratios.
- Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements (e.g., <article>, <nav>, <aside>) to structure our content logically, making it easier for screen readers to interpret and present the information to users.
- Clear and Simple Language: We strive to use clear and concise language throughout the website, avoiding jargon and complex sentence structures to ensure that our content is easy to understand for everyone.
- Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size of our website using their browser settings without losing content or functionality.
- Form Accessibility: All form elements are properly labeled and include ARIA attributes where necessary to provide additional context and guidance to users of assistive technologies. Required fields are clearly indicated.
- Link Text: Link text is descriptive and meaningful, clearly indicating the destination of the link. We avoid generic phrases like "click here." For example, a link to our "Services" page uses the clear text "Services."
