  • Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website include descriptive alternative text, which is read aloud by screen readers and provides context for users who cannot see the images.
  • Semantic HTML: We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to understand the purpose and meaning of different elements on the page.

Keyboard Navigation Information

Location Scout Pro understands that some users may rely on keyboard navigation instead of a mouse or other pointing device. Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard alone. Below is a table outlining the key navigation elements and the associated keyboard actions:

Keyboard Navigation Guide

Move to Previous Element Shift + Tab Navigates to the previous interactive element on the page.

We have implemented ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the keyboard navigation experience and provide additional context for assistive technologies. This includes using ARIA roles, states, and properties to communicate the purpose and functionality of interactive elements on the page.

If you encounter any difficulties navigating our website using a keyboard, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at (310) 555-3456. We are committed to addressing any issues and improving the keyboard navigation experience for all users.

Color Contrast Information

Location Scout Pro recognizes the importance of sufficient color contrast for users with low vision or color blindness. We have carefully selected color combinations throughout our website to ensure that text and other important elements are easily readable.

We adhere to the WCAG 2.1 Level AA color contrast requirements, which specify a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text and graphical elements. We use tools and techniques to verify that our color combinations meet these requirements.

Our primary text color is a dark gray (#333) on a light background (#f4f4f4), providing a strong contrast ratio that exceeds the WCAG guidelines. Similarly, our links are blue (#3498db) on the light background, and turn red (#e74c3c) on hover, further enhancing their visibility.

The dark theme option, which can be toggled using the dark mode button in the header, inverts the color scheme to provide a high-contrast experience for users who prefer dark backgrounds. In dark mode, the background color changes to a dark gray (#333) and the text color changes to light gray (#eee).

If you experience any difficulties reading the text on our website due to color contrast issues, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at (310) 555-3456. We are committed to addressing any concerns and improving the color contrast to ensure readability for all users.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Location Scout Pro is committed to ensuring that our website is fully compatible with screen readers, which are assistive technologies used by individuals with visual impairments. We have optimized our website to work effectively with popular screen readers, such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.

We use semantic HTML elements to structure our content, making it easier for screen readers to understand the purpose and meaning of different elements on the page. We also provide descriptive alternative text for all images, ensuring that screen reader users have access to the same information as sighted users.

We have implemented ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the screen reader experience and provide additional context for assistive technologies. This includes using ARIA roles, states, and properties to communicate the purpose and functionality of interactive elements on the page.

We regularly test our website with screen readers to identify and address any potential issues. We also welcome feedback from screen reader users and are committed to making any necessary improvements to ensure a seamless and accessible experience.

If you encounter any difficulties using our website with a screen reader, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at (310) 555-3456. Please specify the screen reader and browser you are using, as well as the specific issues you are encountering.
