Accessibility Statement

Commitment to Inclusive Access

We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to as many people as possible, including those using assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice recognition software, switch devices, or alternative input methods. Stair lift pricing is an important planning topic, and access to that information should not be limited by technology, disability, or context of use.

Standards & Guidelines Followed

Our ongoing accessibility effort aligns with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines inform a broad range of usability and accessibility considerations including perceivable content structure, operable interface elements, understandable navigation, and robust compatibility across user agents. While full conformance is a journey, we regularly audit key templates and interactive components.

Key Practices Implemented

• Semantic HTML landmarks (header, main, nav, footer) for efficient screen reader navigation
• Consistent heading hierarchy across calculators, explanatory copy, and methodology sections
• Accessible form labeling (explicit labels, aria-describedby for contextual instructions)
• Color contrast targeting a minimum ratio of 4.5:1 for text and interactive elements
• Focusable and keyboard-navigable interactive controls without pointer-only dependencies
• Meaningful link text describing purpose (avoiding generic click here references)
• Reduced motion respect: avoids unnecessary auto-animating UI for core decision tasks
• Descriptive meta and structural elements to aid assistive cognition and indexing clarity

Calculator Accessibility Considerations

The cost calculators are designed to be keyboard operable. Inputs, sliders, and selection controls leverage accessible component primitives and are augmented with ARIA roles where native semantics are insufficient. Real-time updates (estimated cost ranges) avoid unexpected focus shifts and suppress repetitive announcements to reduce verbosity for screen reader users.

Testing & Quality Assurance

We periodically review pages via manual inspection and automated tools (DevTools, axe checks, keyboard-only traversal). Reviews include heading structure validation, contrast sampling, tab sequence analysis, and basic screen reader simulation. Thirdparty widgets or embeds are evaluated when feasible; some vendor artifacts may remain outside direct control.

Limitations & Known Areas for Improvement

Certain dynamic disclosure patterns may not yet include the fullest ARIA state announcements. Extreme zoom scenarios (above 300%) or legacy browser combinations can introduce horizontal scrolling in complex grid areas. We are iteratively refining progressive enhancement and resilience under varied network and device constraints.

Feedback & Contact

We welcome feedback about any barriers you encounter. Please include the page URL, assistive technology used (if applicable), and a brief description of the issue so we can triage effectively.

Ongoing Improvement Process

Accessibility is an evolving practice. As features expand, we continue refining focus management, validation messaging, and gesture fallback patterns. Our aim is to balance clarity, performance, and inclusivityensuring users can obtain essential cost guidance without friction.
