What works, and what we have not verified.
A statement claiming full conformance without an audit behind it is worth nothing. This one separates what is built and checked from what is only intended.
01 — The standard we aim at
We build tenantsquared.com to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at Level AA. That is a target we design against, verified by our own review rather than by an independent audit. We have not commissioned a third-party accessibility audit, and we do not claim to have one.
02 — What is in place
Every animation on this site is switched off for visitors whose system asks to reduce motion. The scroll reveals, the count-up figures, the scrolling control-family band, and the heading animation all stop; nothing depends on movement to be readable.
Pages are built from ordinary headings, lists, and landmarks rather than styled containers, so a screen reader gets a real document outline. Every form field has a label that is tied to it, and errors appear as text next to the field rather than as colour alone. Navigation regions are labelled, and the scrolling control-family band carries a text label naming what it lists, so its content is available without watching it go past. The site works from the keyboard. Focus stays visible throughout, though text fields show it as a change of border colour rather than as an outline.
Body and interface text meets or exceeds the 4.5 to 1 contrast ratio Level AA requires against our background. Fonts are served from our own domain and the page is readable if a webfont fails to load. Zooming to 200 percent does not break the layout, and no content is locked to landscape or portrait.
03 — What is untested
We have not tested every page against JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver, so screen reader behaviour is a design intention here rather than a verified result. A visitor who finds the scrolling control-family band distracting, and whose system does not report a reduced-motion preference, has no in-page control to stop it. Long policy pages have a section index but no skip-to-content link ahead of the navigation.
These are the gaps we know about. If you hit one we have not listed, telling us is the fastest route to it being fixed.
04 — Section 508
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act binds federal agencies in what they buy, and reaches a supplier through the terms of a federal contract rather than directly. We are not currently under such a contract. Because the WCAG 2.1 Level AA criteria are what the Section 508 standards incorporate, work toward the target in section 01 is the same work either way. Ask us before you rely on that in a procurement, and we will tell you exactly where we stand.
05 — Reporting a barrier
Write to privacy@patriot7six.com with the page and what went wrong. We answer within five business days, and if a fix is going to take longer than that we will tell you how we can get you the same information another way in the meantime. There is no form to fill in for this, and no ticket number to chase.
