ADA Compliant — Meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA & WCAG 2.2

Steve's Computers is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually work to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to our website.

1. Our Commitment

We believe the internet should be available and accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and 2.2, Level AA.

2. Standards We Target

WCAG 2.1 Level A — Minimum accessibility requirements
WCAG 2.1 Level AA — The legal benchmark referenced by the DOJ for ADA compliance
WCAG 2.2 Level AA — Current W3C standard (2023)
Section 508 — US federal accessibility standard
ADA Title III — Americans with Disabilities Act web accessibility
ARIA 1.2 — W3C Accessible Rich Internet Applications specification governing all ARIA attributes used throughout this site
HTML5 Accessibility — W3C HTML5 specification's built-in accessibility features including semantic elements and native landmark roles

3. Measures Taken

To support accessibility, Steve's Computers has implemented the following measures on this website:

All images include descriptive alternative text
All color combinations meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text and UI components)
All interactive elements are fully keyboard-navigable with visible focus indicators
CSS focus indicators use 3px solid outlines on all interactive elements including buttons, links, form fields, and accordion controls
No use of outline: none or outline: 0 anywhere that would remove native focus visibility
A skip link is provided to bypass repetitive navigation
Proper semantic HTML landmarks are used throughout (header, main, nav, footer)
All heading levels follow a strict hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) with no skipped levels
Screen reader text and ARIA labels are applied to all icon-only links and interactive elements
Social icon links include both title and aria-label attributes for maximum assistive technology compatibility
External links that open in new tabs include aria-label disclosures stating "opens in new tab"
Accordion and dynamic content use appropriate ARIA roles and live region announcements
FAQ accordion uses aria-expanded, aria-controls, and aria-labelledby attributes for full screen reader context
Pricing tables include visually-hidden <caption> elements and column headers for screen reader clarity
Emoji and decorative characters are wrapped in aria-hidden="true" to prevent screen reader announcement
Decorative images and icons use aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip them entirely
Star rating Unicode characters are hidden from assistive technology with aria-hidden="true" and container elements carry descriptive aria-label text
Vacation notice banner uses role="alert", aria-live="assertive", and aria-atomic="true" to ensure screen readers announce it immediately when it appears
Scroll-based navigation responds to both mouse click and keyboard Enter key
Smooth scroll JavaScript uses progressive enhancement — navigation functions correctly without JavaScript enabled
The site is fully responsive and readable at 320px width without horizontal scrolling across all 10 pages
CSS uses rem and em units exclusively for font sizes — supports up to 200% browser zoom without layout breaking
Font sizes use relative units to support browser text scaling
No content flashes, blinks, or auto-plays in a way that could trigger seizures
Hero images include fetchpriority="high" and below-fold images use loading="lazy" — performance directly impacts accessibility for users on slow connections or assistive devices
role="contentinfo" on the footer and role="alert" on dynamic notices follow ARIA landmark best practices
The <html> element declares lang="en" and all pages include hreflang for language and region identification

7. Technical Specifications

This website relies on the following technologies for conformance:

HTML5 — semantic elements including <header>, <nav>, <main>, <section>, <footer>, <blockquote>, <table>, <caption>, and <thead>
CSS3 — all font sizes use relative units (rem/em); no fixed pixel font sizes that block browser zoom
JavaScript (progressive enhancement only — all core content is accessible without JS)
Bootstrap 5.3.3
Font Awesome 6.5.0 — icons are decorative and hidden from assistive technology via aria-hidden="true"
Google Fonts API (css2) — Quicksand (headings) and Roboto (body text), loaded with display=swap to prevent invisible text during font load
Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization enabled (anonymize_ip: true) — no personally identifiable data collected
preconnect and dns-prefetch resource hints for all third-party domains to minimize render-blocking
Hero image uses fetchpriority="high" and rel="preload"; below-fold images use native loading="lazy" with no JavaScript dependency
All JavaScript is deferred or placed at end of <body> — no render-blocking scripts in <head>

8. Assessment Approach

Steve's Computers assesses the accessibility of this website through the following approaches:

Self-evaluation using automated accessibility auditing tools
Manual code review against WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 success criteria
Contrast ratio verification for all color combinations across all pages
Heading hierarchy validation — no skipped levels across all pages
ARIA attribute completeness review (aria-expanded, aria-controls, aria-labelledby, aria-label, aria-hidden, aria-live, aria-atomic)
External link disclosure audit — all new-tab links verified for screen reader warnings
Cross-validation of schema structured data values against visible page content
Security headers audited to ensure CSP does not block assistive technology scripts or screen reader extensions
All 10 pages (index, services, faq, prices, reviews, remote, about, contact, privacy, and accessibility) audited independently rather than assuming consistency
Schema structured data validated against Google's Rich Results Test criteria
Manual keyboard-only navigation testing — completed and passed
Manual touch target size testing on mobile devices — completed and passed
Color perception testing for color-blind users — completed and passed
