Accessibility is the work we do for a living, so we hold our own website to the standard we promise clients. This is the Curbcut accessibility statement: our commitment, the measures we take, and how to tell us when we fall short. If a company that remediates websites can’t make its own site usable for everyone, it has no business advising you — so we put this in writing, and we keep it honest.
Our commitment
Curbcut is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice control, and keyboard-only navigation. Our target is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, the internationally recognized standard published by the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative. It is the same level U.S. courts and the Department of Justice reference as the practical benchmark for ADA Title III, and the level federal agencies require under Section 508.
WCAG is built on four principles — that content be Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust (POUR). We design and maintain this site against all four.
Measures we take
We do not bolt accessibility on after the fact, and we do not rely on an overlay or accessibility widget. Overlays are a line of JavaScript that promise instant compliance and deliver none; they never fix the underlying code and are now named in a growing share of lawsuits. Everything below is handled directly in our markup:
- Semantic structure — correct heading order and landmark regions so screen-reader users can navigate by structure.
- Keyboard operability — every interactive element is reachable and usable with the keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator.
- Text alternatives — meaningful images carry descriptive alt text; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- Color and contrast — text meets WCAG AA contrast ratios, and color is never the only way information is conveyed.
- ARIA used sparingly — native HTML first; ARIA only where it genuinely helps, never to paper over broken markup.
Accessibility features of this site
Concretely, here is what we have built in — and what you can verify yourself:
- A skip-to-content link as the first focusable element on every page.
- Semantic HTML5 landmarks (
header,nav,main,footer), a single<h1>per page, and a logical heading order. - Full keyboard operability, with a clearly visible focus indicator on every interactive element.
- Navigation that works without JavaScript — our menus are native
<details>disclosures, so they keep working even if scripts fail. - WCAG AA color contrast in both the light and dark themes.
- Respect for your system settings: the site honors reduced-motion and light/dark preferences.
- Descriptive alt text on meaningful images; decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology.
- Accessible forms with visible labels, hints, and clear error handling.
- Content that reflows to 400% zoom without loss of information, at any screen size.
How we test
We test the way we tell clients to: with people, not just scanners. Automated tools catch a useful slice of issues, but manual testing is what verifies the experience.
| Method | What it checks |
|---|---|
| Keyboard-only navigation | Focus order, traps, visible focus, skip links |
| Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) | Reading order, labels, announcements, dynamic content |
| Color-contrast tools | Text and UI contrast against WCAG AA thresholds |
| Manual code review | Semantics, ARIA correctness, form labeling |
This is the same audit-and-remediate discipline behind our accessibility audit and the formal VPAT / conformance reports we produce for buyers and government contracts.
Conformance status
This website conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. WCAG defines three levels — A, AA, and AAA — and AA is the level we target and meet.
We last assessed the site on June 29, 2026, using the same methods we apply to client work:
- Automated testing with axe-core found zero violations across every page template — homepage, service pages, guides, the WCAG and lawsuit libraries, the blog, and forms — including navigation menus and disclosures in their open states.
- A Lighthouse audit returned an accessibility score of 100 (alongside 100 for performance, best practices, and SEO).
- Manual testing — keyboard-only navigation and screen-reader passes — confirmed those results in practice.
Conformance is a commitment we maintain, not a trophy we won once. As we publish new content we re-test, and we treat any regression as routine maintenance rather than a special project. If you find a barrier we missed, please tell us — an honest statement names a way to report problems, and means it.
Tell us about a barrier
If you encounter anything on this site that you cannot access, please tell us. Your report goes straight to the people who can fix it.
- Email: accessibility@curbcutaccessibility.com — staffed by [EXPERT_NAME], our accessibility lead
- Contact form: our contact page
Include the page address, a short description of the problem, and the browser, device, and any assistive technology you were using. We aim to acknowledge reports within two business days and to resolve confirmed barriers promptly.
A note on legal status
This statement reflects our genuine, good-faith commitment to accessibility. It is not legal advice, and it is not a waiver of anyone’s rights. If you need guidance on your own ADA or Section 508 obligations, consult a qualified attorney.
If you’d like your website held to this same standard, that is exactly what we do — by hand. See our accessibility remediation service, or run a free scan to see where you stand today.
