Accessibility
Built for everyone — our accessibility commitment.
We build websites that work for as many users as possible, following WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines. Accessibility isn't a checklist we add at the end — it's woven into our design and engineering process from day one.
What WCAG compliance means
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are organized around four principles. We use them as the working spec for every project.
Perceivable
Content is readable and visible. Color contrast, scalable type, captions for media, and meaningful alt text.
Operable
Every interaction works without a mouse. Full keyboard navigation, visible focus states, and skip links.
Understandable
Plain language, consistent navigation, helpful labels, and clear error messages.
Robust
Semantic HTML, valid ARIA, and progressive enhancement so assistive tech can parse and use the site.
What we do on every project
- Semantic HTML — headings, landmarks, lists, and form labels used correctly.
- Full keyboard navigation with visible focus states.
- Screen reader testing with VoiceOver and NVDA.
- WCAG AA color contrast — automated and manual review.
- Captions and transcripts for video content.
- Forms with clear labels, helpful errors, and reasonable validation.
Report an accessibility issue
We take accessibility issues seriously and try to acknowledge reports within one business day.
Email karnei@detroitweb.net with:
- The page URL where you encountered the issue
- What you were trying to do
- The assistive technology (if any) you were using
- The result you expected vs. what happened
Need an accessibility audit?
We offer fixed-fee WCAG 2.1 AA audits with a written remediation plan — useful for compliance, public funding, or peace of mind.
