Accessibility Statement
Last updated: January 1, 2025
Our Commitment
American Curb Appeal is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone should be able to access and interact with our website easily and effectively, regardless of ability or the technology used to access the internet.
We continually work to improve the accessibility and usability of our website, and we strive to adhere to established web accessibility standards and guidelines.
Conformance Standard
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), are the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility. WCAG 2.1 Level AA covers a wide range of recommendations for making web content more accessible to people with a variety of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
Measures We Have Taken
To ensure accessibility, we have implemented the following measures on our website:
- Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML elements and structure so that assistive technologies like screen readers can accurately interpret and convey page content.
- Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements on our website, including navigation menus, forms, and buttons, are accessible via keyboard navigation for users who cannot use a mouse.
- Text alternatives: We provide descriptive alt text for all meaningful images and graphics so that screen reader users can understand visual content.
- Color contrast: We have designed our website with sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
- Readable text: We use clear, legible fonts at appropriate sizes and allow users to resize text using browser controls without loss of content or functionality.
- Form labels: All form fields include descriptive labels and instructions to help users understand what information is being requested.
- Focus indicators: Interactive elements display visible focus indicators so keyboard users can identify their current position on the page.
- Responsive design: Our website adapts to different screen sizes and devices, ensuring accessibility on desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
- ARIA landmarks: We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) landmarks and roles where appropriate to provide additional context to assistive technologies.
- Skip navigation: We provide mechanisms for users to skip repetitive navigation content and go directly to main page content.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, some areas of our website may not yet be fully accessible. We are aware of the following limitations:
- Third-party content: Some embedded content from third-party services, such as Google Maps, may not fully meet accessibility standards. We have limited control over the accessibility of these external tools.
- PDF documents: Some downloadable documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to ensure all documents meet accessibility standards. If you need an accessible version of any document, please contact us.
- Older content: Some older pages or content may not meet current accessibility standards. We are actively reviewing and updating these pages.
We are committed to addressing these limitations and continuously improving our website's accessibility.

- Screen readers (including JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack)
