Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Century 21 Accent Homes is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Century 21 Accent Homes takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

• All images include descriptive alt text for screen readers
• All form inputs have explicit aria-labels for assistive technology
• Color contrast ratios meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA thresholds (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text)
• The viewport meta tag allows pinch-to-zoom on mobile devices
• A 'Skip to main content' link is available for keyboard users
• Navigation is fully accessible via keyboard with visible focus indicators
• Semantic HTML elements (headings, landmarks, lists) provide proper document structure
• ARIA attributes are used where native HTML semantics are insufficient
• Form validation errors are announced via role='alert' for screen readers
• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
