Accessibility Statement
What this site does to be usable by everyone, and how to tell us when it is not.
Our position
Forticon spends a good deal of its working life bringing parking lots, ramps and paths of travel into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. It would be inconsistent to build a website that was not usable by the same people.
The standard we target
This site aims to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
What has been done
- Every page uses semantic HTML with correct landmarks and exactly one main heading.
- All content and navigation work by keyboard, and focus is always visible.
- A skip link is the first thing in the tab order on every page.
- Text and interface colors were checked against their actual backgrounds. Headline text sitting over photographs was measured against the composited image rather than assumed.
- Every image has alt text describing what is genuinely visible in that photograph. Decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- Motion is disabled entirely for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion. The horizontal services section becomes a plain list.
- Touch targets are at least 44 by 44 pixels.
- Form fields have real labels, and errors are announced rather than shown only in color.
- The site works with JavaScript disabled, including the estimate form.
Known limitations
The services section on the homepage moves horizontally as you scroll. It is built as a genuine scroll container, so keyboard focus, swipe and trackpad all behave normally, and it becomes a plain vertical list under reduced motion or on a narrow screen. If you find it difficult to use, every service is also listed on the services page as an ordinary list.
Some project photographs were taken on phones in difficult light. Where an image is hard to interpret, the alt text describes it plainly rather than dressing it up.
Telling us about a problem
If something on this site is hard to use, we would genuinely like to know. Email or call using the details alongside and describe what you were trying to do and what happened. We will fix what we can and tell you honestly if something will take time.
