How We Try To Keep This Site Usable For Everyone

What standard does this site aim for?

The target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 at Level AA. Those guidelines are the common reference for making web content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

We are stating an aim, not a certification. No independent audit has been carried out against this site, and no automated tool alone can establish conformance. Saying otherwise would be a claim we cannot back up, so we will not make it.

What has actually been done?

These are measures built into the site as it stands today, not intentions.

• Semantic HTML structure, with real headings, lists, navigation landmarks, and a single main heading per page.
• Every page renders its content in the server HTML, so assistive technology and text-only tools do not depend on scripts running.
• Text alternatives on meaningful images, and empty alternative text on decorative ones so screen readers skip them.
• Interactive elements are real buttons and links that can be reached and operated with a keyboard, with visible focus styling.
• Icon-only controls carry accessible labels rather than relying on the icon alone.
• Form fields have visible labels, and validation errors appear inline in text next to the field rather than as colour alone or a message that disappears.
• Colour is not used as the only way to convey meaning, and the navy, red, and white palette was chosen for contrast on text.
• Responsive layout that reflows down to small screens without horizontal scrolling, with touch targets sized for finger use.
• Phone numbers are real telephone links so they work with voice control and mobile assistive tools.

What do we know is still imperfect?

Honesty is more useful than a badge. Some third party content, such as embedded maps and analytics scripts, is outside our direct control and may not meet the same standard.

The site is large and it grows. New pages are built from the same shared components, which helps, but a specific page or a specific combination of assistive technology and browser can still have a problem we have not found.

Accessibility work here is ongoing rather than finished. When a barrier is reported, fixing it takes priority over new content.

How do you report a barrier?

Tell us and we will act on it. There is no form to fill out and no ticket number to chase.

Call 720-427-7557. Email info@affordablesepticpumping.com. Or write to Affordable Septic Pumping, 8996 Pierce St., Westminster, CO 80021. The contact page has the same details.

It helps if you can tell us the page address, what you were trying to do, and what happened instead, including the browser or assistive technology you were using. If you would rather not go into detail, a description of the problem in your own words is enough.

What if you cannot use the website at all?

You never have to use this website to get service from us. Everything the site does can be done by phone.

Call 720-427-7557 and a person will take your address, book the work, answer questions about your septic system or grease trap, and read you any information on the site that you need. That has always been the primary way this company works.
