Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility

Our Commitment

Michael Charette Land Surveying, Inc. 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 to ensure our website is accessible to as many users as possible.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more accessible for all users.

We are actively working to ensure our website meets these standards. As our website evolves, we will continue to monitor and improve accessibility features.

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

  • Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML elements to ensure content is structured meaningfully for assistive technologies.
  • Alternative Text: Images and icons include descriptive alternative text where appropriate.
  • Color Contrast: We design with sufficient color contrast ratios to ensure text is readable for users with visual impairments.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website can be navigated using a keyboard without requiring a mouse.
  • Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators are provided for interactive elements.
  • Responsive Design: Our website adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels.
  • Form Labels: Form inputs have associated labels for screen reader compatibility.
  • ARIA Labels: We use ARIA labels where appropriate to provide additional context for assistive technologies.
  • Skip Navigation: Users can skip repetitive navigation elements (when implemented).
  • Readable Fonts: We use clear, legible fonts with appropriate sizing.

Known Issues

We are aware of the following areas that may present accessibility challenges and are working to address them:

  • Some embedded content (such as Google Maps) may have limited accessibility features provided by third parties.
  • SVG illustrations may not have complete text alternatives for all visual elements.

Third-Party Content

Our website contains some third-party content and services, including:

  • Google Maps embed for location display
  • Formsubmit for form processing

We have limited control over the accessibility of these third-party services. We encourage these providers to offer accessible content and continue to monitor their accessibility improvements.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

We strive to ensure compatibility with the following assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver)
  • Screen magnification software
  • Speech recognition software
  • Keyboard-only navigation

We test our website using a combination of automated tools and manual testing methods.
