Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility
We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content usable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.
Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard only navigation techniques, and Flesch Kincaid readability tests.
Accessibility Features On Our Website
The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:
Native skip to content logic allowing users to instantly bypass site menus.
Clear visual high contrast boundaries highlighting text links and active form fields upon keyboard focus.
Configuration adjustments preventing disruptive window modifications to ensure predictable page context.
Explicit embedded indicators natively warning assistive tools whenever a link opens external tabs.
Hardcoded programmatic field tracking ensuring descriptive layout tags register properly with speech engine readouts.
Where We're Improving
In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:
Actively reviewing our media library to ensure all shop photographs, service images and graphic icons include descriptive alternative text for screen readers.
Continuously evaluating our chat window, cookie banner and quote request forms to resolve any hidden keyboard traps.
Auditing text overlaps against background imagery to maintain a high contrast visual environment across all screens.
This is part of our broader effort to make everyone's experience at O'Donnell Metal Fabricators a welcoming and productive one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
