Accessibility

Access100 exists to dismantle barriers. Our website is built to reflect that commitment, designed, developed, and tested by people with disabilities.

Our Commitment

Accessibility is not an afterthought at Access100. It is foundational to who we are. We are a disability-led organization, and we build our own tools the same way we build them for our clients: with the goal of removing every barrier we can find.

We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AAA, the highest internationally recognized standard for web accessibility. We chose AAA as our target because we believe an accessibility organization should hold itself to the highest standard available.

What We Do

Our approach to accessibility includes:

  • Semantic HTML: We use proper landmarks, heading hierarchy, and native HTML elements so assistive technologies can accurately interpret our content.
  • Keyboard navigation: Every interactive element on this site is operable by keyboard alone, with visible focus indicators and logical tab order.
  • Screen reader support: We use ARIA attributes only where native semantics are insufficient, and we test with screen readers as part of our development process.
  • Color and contrast: Our color palette is designed to meet or exceed WCAG contrast requirements. We do not rely on color alone to convey information.
  • Readable typography: We use Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed for legibility by the Braille Institute. All text is set in relative units so it scales with your browser preferences.
  • Reduced motion: We respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting and minimize animations throughout the site.
  • Touch targets: Interactive elements meet a minimum size of 44×44 pixels for comfortable use on touch devices.
  • Forms: All form fields have visible labels, required field indicators, and error messages that are announced to assistive technologies.

How We Test

Automated accessibility tools catch roughly 30 to 40 percent of barriers. We go further:

  • Manual testing with screen readers (NVDA, VoiceOver)
  • Keyboard-only navigation testing
  • Browser zoom and text scaling verification
  • Color contrast analysis against AAA thresholds
  • Testing by team members who use assistive technology daily

Known Limitations

We are continuously improving this site. Current known limitations include:

  • Some third-party content (such as embedded Google Maps links) may not fully meet our accessibility standards.
  • Older PDF documents linked from our Transparency page may not yet be fully remediated. We are working to bring all documents into conformance.

If you encounter a barrier not listed here, please let us know.
