Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

Aspect Partners LLC is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is accessible to all users, regardless of ability.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services online. Our goal is to provide a website that is inclusive, user-friendly, and accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals who use assistive technologies.

This Accessibility Statement applies to the Aspect Partners LLC website located at aspectpartners.net.

2. Accessibility Standards We Follow

We strive to ensure that our website conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and making content more usable for all users.

WCAG 2.1 guidelines are organized under four principles, often referred to by the acronym POUR:

• 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 by all users.
• Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
• Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

We also aim to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility requirements and other applicable accessibility laws and regulations.

3. Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features to ensure our website is accessible to all users:

3.1 Semantic HTML

Our website uses semantic HTML markup throughout. This means that headings, lists, landmarks, and other structural elements are properly coded to convey meaning and hierarchy. Screen readers and other assistive technologies use this semantic structure to navigate content effectively.

3.2 Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements on our website can be accessed and operated using a keyboard. Users can navigate through links, buttons, form fields, and other interactive components using standard keyboard commands (Tab, Enter, Arrow keys, etc.). We have implemented skip navigation links to allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive content and navigate directly to main content areas.

3.3 Screen Reader Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with popular screen readers, including:

• JAWS (Job Access With Speech)
• NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access)
• VoiceOver (Apple macOS and iOS)
• TalkBack (Android)

We use proper ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes where necessary to provide additional context for interactive elements and dynamic content.

3.4 Color Contrast

We have designed our website with sufficient color contrast between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with visual impairments. Our color choices meet or exceed the WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirement of a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.

3.5 Resizable Text

Our website supports text resizing up to 200% without loss of content or functionality. Users can adjust text size using browser settings or zoom functionality, and the layout will adapt to accommodate larger text while maintaining readability and usability.

3.6 Alternative Text for Images

All meaningful images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and purpose of the image. Decorative images are marked appropriately to be hidden from assistive technologies. This ensures that users who cannot see images still have access to the information they contain.

3.7 Focus Indicators

Visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements. When navigating using a keyboard or other input device, users can clearly see which element currently has focus. This helps users understand their position on the page and ensures they know which element they are interacting with.

3.8 Form Accessibility

All form fields have associated labels that are properly linked to their corresponding input elements. Required fields are clearly indicated, and form validation errors are announced to screen readers. Error messages are descriptive and provide guidance on how to correct issues.

3.9 Responsive Design

Our website is fully responsive and adapts to different screen sizes and orientations. This ensures that content is accessible whether viewed on desktop computers, tablets, or mobile devices. Users can also view content in both portrait and landscape orientations.

4. Known Accessibility Issues

We regularly review our website for accessibility issues and work to address any barriers we identify. At this time, we are not aware of any significant accessibility barriers on our website.

We are committed to maintaining accessibility as an ongoing priority. If you encounter any accessibility barriers while using our website, please let us know so we can address them promptly.

5. Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure accessibility throughout our website, some third-party content and services may not be fully accessible. We work with our third-party providers to encourage accessibility, but we cannot guarantee the accessibility of external content.

5.1 Google Maps

Our website may embed Google Maps to display our location. Google Maps is a third-party service, and while Google continues to improve its accessibility features, some aspects of the map interface may present challenges for certain assistive technologies. For information about Google Maps accessibility, please visit the Google Maps accessibility help page.

5.2 FormSubmit

We use FormSubmit to process contact form submissions. While we have implemented accessible form markup on our website, the FormSubmit service processes submissions on their platform. For information about FormSubmit's accessibility, please review their documentation.

5.3 External Links

Our website may contain links to external websites that are not operated by Aspect Partners LLC. We are not responsible for the accessibility of these external sites, but we encourage our users to report accessibility issues to the respective website owners.
