At Mauro Builders Website, we are committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. We strive to ensure that all visitors can have a seamless and enjoyable browsing experience, regardless of their abilities. In line with WCAG guidelines, we have implemented various accessibility features to enhance the usability of our site.
ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
At Mauro Builders, we are deeply committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, regardless of ability or technology. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and services, and we are dedicated to creating an online experience that is inclusive, intuitive, and barrier-free. This commitment is not just a legal obligation; it is a fundamental part of our company's values and mission to build a better, more connected world.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We have a proactive approach to accessibility, integrating it into our design, development, and content creation processes. Our goal is to make our digital content and services fully available to people with diverse needs, including those with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments. We are constantly working to improve the user experience for everyone, striving to meet and exceed established accessibility standards.
Conformance Status
The Mauro Builders website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. WCAG is a set of guidelines for improving web accessibility, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The Level AA conformance standard signifies that our site meets a wide range of criteria that address various types of disabilities.
We have adopted WCAG 2.1 Level AA as our benchmark because it is an internationally recognized standard that provides a clear and actionable path to achieving a high level of accessibility. Adhering to these guidelines ensures that our website is designed to be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for a broad range of users.
Measures to Support Accessibility
To uphold our commitment, Mauro Builders has implemented a series of measures to ensure accessibility is a core component of our digital operations. These include:
-
Continuous Audits and Testing: We conduct regular, comprehensive accessibility audits using both automated tools and manual testing to identify and rectify potential barriers. These audits are performed on a recurring basis to ensure that any new content or features remain compliant.
-
Employee Training: Our development, design, and content teams receive ongoing training on web accessibility principles and best practices. This ensures that every member of our team is equipped with the knowledge to create and maintain accessible content from the ground up.
-
Integration with Development Workflow: We have integrated accessibility checkpoints directly into our development lifecycle. This means that accessibility is considered at every stage of a project, from initial design concepts and wireframes to final code review and deployment.
-
User Feedback and Involvement: We actively solicit feedback from users with disabilities. Their input is invaluable in helping us identify and address issues that automated tools may miss, allowing for continuous, real-world improvements.
-
Structured Content and Semantic HTML: Our website’s structure is built using semantic HTML to provide a clear and logical hierarchy. This allows assistive technologies, such as screen readers, to navigate and interpret our content accurately. Headings, lists, and other structural elements are used correctly to provide a clear flow of information.
-
Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements on our website, including links, buttons, and forms, are fully accessible via keyboard navigation alone, without the need for a mouse. This is a critical feature for users who have motor impairments or use assistive technologies that rely on keyboard input.
-
Text Alternatives for Visuals: We provide descriptive alt text for all meaningful images, charts, and graphics. This ensures that users who are blind or have low vision can understand the purpose and content of visual elements through their screen readers.
-
Robust Color Contrast: We adhere to strict color contrast standards to ensure that text and graphical elements are easily readable for users with low vision or color blindness. Our designs are regularly checked to ensure they meet WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios.
-
Resizable Text and Responsive Design: The Mauro Builders website is built with a responsive design, meaning it adapts seamlessly to various screen sizes and devices. Users can also easily resize text without a loss of functionality or content.
-
Clear and Simple Language: We strive to write content in a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand manner. Jargon is avoided whenever possible, and complex information is presented in a way that is accessible to a wide audience.
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, we acknowledge that some areas of the website may still have a few remaining accessibility issues. We are working diligently to resolve these, and we welcome any feedback you may have. Currently, we are addressing the following:
-
Some older project images may lack comprehensive alt text descriptions. We are in the process of auditing our entire image library to add descriptive text to all legacy content.
-
Certain third-party widgets or embedded content may not yet fully comply with our accessibility standards. We are actively working with our vendors to ensure their tools meet our strict requirements or are replacing them where necessary.
These are not permanent limitations but rather areas of our ongoing commitment to improving accessibility.
