Accessibility Statement for Guardian Pest Solutions
Guardian Pest Solutions is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We strive to provide an online experience that is accessible to people with disabilities. Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA success criteria. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user-friendly for everyone.
Guardian Pest Solutions' website features are designed to be accessed by assistive technologies like screen readers and keyboard navigation. We continuously review and modify our website to ensure it remains accessible.
Accessibility Features
Keyboard Navigation
Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. You can use the Tab key to move between interactive elements such as links, form fields, and buttons. Shift + Tab will navigate in reverse order. We ensure that all interactive elements have clear focus indicators.
Screen Reader Compatibility
We have optimized our website to be compatible with screen reader software. We use semantic HTML to structure our content, provide alternative text for images, and ensure that form fields are properly labeled. This helps screen reader users understand the content and navigate the site effectively. The website is tested regularly with NVDA, VoiceOver and JAWS.
Color Contrast
We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors. This helps users with low vision to read the content more easily. Our color contrast ratio meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
Alternative Text for Images
All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text). This allows screen readers to convey the meaning of the images to users who cannot see them. Our alt text is concise and accurately describes the content of the image.
Resizable Text
Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website using their browser settings. This allows users with low vision to customize the text size to their preference.
Consistent Navigation
We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout our website to help users easily find the information they need. Our navigation menus are clear and intuitive, and we provide breadcrumb navigation to help users understand their current location within the site.
Forms
All forms on our website are designed to be accessible. We provide clear labels for all form fields, and we use appropriate input types to ensure that users can easily enter their information. We also provide error messages that are clear and helpful.
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, there may be some limitations on our website. We are aware of the following potential issues:
- Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to replace these with accessible versions.
- Embedded videos may not always have captions or transcripts. We are working to add these to all videos.
Ongoing Efforts
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. We regularly review our website and make updates as needed to ensure that it remains accessible to all users. We also welcome feedback from our users about their experiences with our website.
