Accessibility Statement
North Coast Supply is committed to ensuring that our digital experience is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. Just as our gear is built for universal utility in the demanding North Coast environment, our website is designed to be fully functional and easily navigated by all users.
I. Commitment and Standards (Operational Integrity)
We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and, in doing so, adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
-
Standard: We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
-
Design Principle: Accessibility is treated as an element of operational integrity, ensuring that all content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
II. Features Implemented (Utility In Design)
Our site utilizes key features to improve accessibility and user experience:
-
Keyboard Navigation: The site can be navigated entirely using a keyboard, without requiring a mouse.
-
Alt Text: All non-decorative images and functional graphics include descriptive alternative text for screen reader users.
-
Clear Structure: We use proper heading structures (H1, H2, H3, etc.) and semantic markup to aid navigation for assistive technologies.
-
Contrast: We ensure high contrast ratios between foreground text and background colors to facilitate readability.
III. Ongoing Audits and Improvement
We understand that accessibility is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time process. North Coast Supply conducts periodic manual and automated accessibility audits to identify and correct potential barriers. As technology evolves, we will continue to refine and update our website to exceed compliance requirements.
