Accessibility Statement

Atlanta Location Scouts is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for everyone. We continually improve the user experience for all visitors and strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We believe that websites should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We are dedicated to providing a website that is:

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
• Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
• Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Our goal is to provide a website that meets or exceeds these guidelines, ensuring that all users can access and use our services effectively.

Measures Taken to Support Accessibility

Atlanta Location Scouts takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

• Regular Accessibility Audits: We conduct regular audits of our website to identify and address accessibility issues. These audits are performed by both automated tools and manual testing by accessibility experts.
• WCAG Compliance: We design and develop our website to conform to WCAG 2.1, level AA. This includes providing alternative text for images, ensuring sufficient color contrast, and providing keyboard navigation.
• ARIA Implementation: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements. This helps assistive technologies, such as screen readers, understand the structure and functionality of our website.
• Keyboard Navigation: We ensure that all interactive elements on our website can be accessed and operated using a keyboard. This is essential for users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device.
• Screen Reader Compatibility: We regularly test our website with various screen readers, such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver, to ensure compatibility and usability.
• Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for assistive technologies to understand and navigate.
• Clear and Consistent Navigation: We provide clear and consistent navigation menus and breadcrumb trails to help users find their way around our website.
• Form Accessibility: We ensure that all forms on our website are accessible, with clear labels, instructions, and error messages.
• Video Captions and Transcripts: We provide captions and transcripts for all video content on our website, making it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Font Size Adjustments: Users can adjust the font size of the text on our website using their browser settings or assistive technology.
• Color Contrast: We maintain adequate color contrast between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Regular Training: Our development team receives regular training on accessibility best practices to ensure that they are up-to-date on the latest techniques and guidelines.
