Accessibility Statement
Effective Date: June 21, 2026
Our Commitment
A&S Contracting Services is committed to ensuring that our website at https://a-s-contracting-services.pageone.cloud is accessible to individuals with disabilities. We strive to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
We believe that all people should have equal access to information about our services — regardless of ability, assistive technology, or how they access the web.
Conformance Status
Conformance Level: A&S Contracting Services is working toward substantial conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We continuously audit and improve our Site to address accessibility barriers.
Accessibility Features We've Implemented
Our Site includes the following accessibility features:
- Skip-to-content link: A "Skip to main content" link appears at the top of every page, visible on keyboard focus, allowing users to bypass the navigation bar.
- Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML5 landmark elements —
<header>,<nav>,<main>,<footer>,<section>— to define page structure for screen reader users. - ARIA labels: Navigation, form fields, and interactive elements include ARIA labels and attributes (aria-label, aria-current, aria-expanded) for screen reader compatibility.
- Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements — navigation links, buttons, form fields, and FAQ accordion items — are reachable and operable via keyboard.
- Focus indicators: Visible focus outlines appear on all interactive elements when accessed via keyboard, using high-contrast outlines.
- Color contrast: Body text and interactive elements are designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).
- Image alt text: All meaningful images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images use empty alt attributes (alt="").
- Form labels: All form inputs are associated with visible, programmatic labels.
- Reduced motion: We respect the
prefers-reduced-motionCSS media query — users who have requested reduced motion in their operating system settings will see all animations and transitions disabled. - Responsive design: The Site is fully responsive and functions correctly at all screen sizes, including mobile and tablet.
- Font sizing: Text is sized using relative units (rem/em) and can be scaled by browser font size settings without breaking layouts.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some limitations may exist:
- Third-party content loaded from external CDNs (Google Fonts, Lucide icons via unpkg.com) is outside our direct control. We select tools with good accessibility records.
- Older client photos sourced from our project portfolio may have limited descriptive alt text — we are working to improve these descriptions.
Supported Assistive Technologies
Our Site is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:
- Screen readers: NVDA (Windows), JAWS (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), TalkBack (Android)
- Keyboard-only navigation
- Browser zoom up to 200%
- High contrast mode
- Modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (current versions)
