Accessibility

A website should work the way a building should

We build curbless showers and accessible entries for a living, so it would be strange to publish a website that only works for people using a mouse and a large screen. Here is what we have done and how to tell us where we fell short.

Our target

We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA as our working standard. We are not claiming a formal third-party certification, because we would rather tell you what we actually did than point at a badge.

What is in place

  • Keyboard operation throughout. Every menu, accordion, form field and interactive card is reachable and operable by keyboard. The mobile menu traps focus while open and returns it on close, and Escape closes it.
  • Visible focus. A clear focus ring appears on every focusable element rather than being suppressed for aesthetic reasons.
  • A skip link to the main content, as the first focusable item on every page.
  • Semantic structure. One H1 per page, headings in order, real landmarks, lists marked up as lists, and breadcrumbs in an ordered list inside a labeled navigation region.
  • Respect for reduced motion. This site uses a fair amount of animation. When your operating system requests reduced motion, the parallax, reveals, marquee and card transitions all stop — the content arrives immediately instead.
  • Color contrast checked against AA thresholds for body text and interface text, in both the light and dark sections.
  • Text alternatives on meaningful images, with decorative graphics hidden from assistive technology rather than announced as noise.
  • Forms that explain themselves. Every field has a real label, errors are announced and tied to their field, and no error relies on color alone.
  • Zoom and reflow. The layout is fluid and remains usable at 200% zoom and at narrow widths without horizontal scrolling.
  • Tabular figures on prices, phone numbers and ZIP codes so digits align and are easier to read.

Known gaps

Being honest is more useful than claiming perfection:

  • Photographs added to the project gallery over time may arrive with thin alternative text before we review it. Tell us if you hit one and we will fix it that week.
  • Some long-form articles use lengthy paragraphs. We are gradually adding more subheadings so screen-reader users can navigate within a piece more easily.
  • We have tested with keyboard navigation, browser zoom, forced-colors mode and screen readers on desktop. Testing across every mobile screen-reader and browser combination is ongoing rather than complete.

If something does not work

Please tell us — it is the fastest way for it to get fixed, and we would rather hear it directly than have you give up and go elsewhere. Email build@bleuwaveconstruction.com or call (480) 744-0000. Describe the page and what happened, and include the assistive technology you were using if you know it.

We aim to respond within two business days. If a barrier prevents you from requesting an estimate through the site, call us and we will take every detail over the phone instead — you should never have to fight a website to get a price.

Accessible construction

Separately from this website: accessibility modifications are a substantial part of our actual work. Curbless showers, grab bar blocking, widened doorways, comfort-height fixtures, slip-resistant flooring and accessible entries. If that is what brought you here, phone us and say so — it is a specialty rather than an afterthought.
