Web Accessibility Statement
Vance Bell is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web. I am continually improving the user experience for everyone on vancebell.com, and applying the relevant accessibility standards to make that happen.
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Vance Bell strives to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
Measures Taken to Support Accessibility
I take the following measures to ensure accessibility on vancebell.com:
- Integrate accessibility considerations into its site design and content creation process.
- Conduct periodic manual review of pages and key user flows, checking things like keyboard navigation, heading structure, color contrast, and alt text that automated tools alone can miss.
- Run regular automated scans using third-party tools like WAVE and the Accessibility Checker plugin by Equalize Digital to catch and correct issues such as missing alt text, empty links, and improper heading structure as content is published and updated.
- Provide accessible alternative text for meaningful images.
- Ensure sufficient color contrast throughout the site.
- Test navigation using a keyboard alone.
