Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Idaho Golden Retriever Rescue 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.

Conformance Status

We aim 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.

While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website.

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

• Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy (H1-H6)
• Descriptive alt text on informational images
• ARIA labels on interactive elements such as navigation toggles and buttons
• Keyboard-navigable menus, forms, and interactive components
• Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels
• Form inputs with associated labels for screen reader compatibility
• Sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background
• Light and dark theme options to accommodate visual preferences
• Consistent, predictable navigation across all pages
• Meaningful link text that describes the destination or action

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of our website may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations include:

• Some decorative images may lack empty alt attributes
• Animations powered by Framer Motion may not fully respect the prefers-reduced-motion system setting
• Custom form inputs may not be visible in all browsers
• Certain dynamically-rendered content (photo galleries, dialogs) may present challenges for some assistive technologies
• PDF documents or external links may not meet WCAG standards

We are actively working to address these limitations and improve accessibility across the site.

Assistive Technology Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
• Screen magnification software
• Speech recognition software
• Keyboard-only navigation

Our site is built with modern web standards (HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript) and is tested in current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
