Accessibility Statement
HLC Solutions believes that the internet should be accessible to everyone. This Accessibility Statement outlines our commitment to making our digital presence inclusive for all users, including those with disabilities, and describes the standards we follow and the steps we take to achieve them.
1. Our Commitment to Accessibility
Mission Statement
HLC Solutions is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website and digital products are inclusive, usable, and welcoming to all users regardless of ability or technology.
Standards Compliance
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor impairments.
2. Measures Taken to Support Accessibility
Design & Development Practices
We incorporate accessibility from the earliest stages of design and development: using semantic HTML for proper document structure, providing text alternatives for all non-text content, ensuring consistent and predictable navigation, and maintaining sufficient color contrast ratios throughout the site.
Keyboard Navigation
All interactive elements on our website are fully accessible via keyboard. Users can navigate through menus, forms, buttons, and links using the Tab, Enter, Space, and arrow keys without requiring a mouse.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Our website is designed to be compatible with popular screen readers, including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. We use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes where necessary to improve the experience for assistive technology users.
Responsive & Adaptive Design
Our website is fully responsive and can be used on various devices and screen sizes. Content can be zoomed up to 200% without loss of information or functionality. We support both portrait and landscape orientations.
3. Technical Specifications
Technologies Used
Our website is built using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (React.js), and follows progressive enhancement principles to ensure core functionality is available to all users, regardless of browser capability or assistive technology.
Browser & Assistive Technology Support
We support the latest two versions of major browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge. Our site has been tested with NVDA and VoiceOver screen readers, as well as keyboard-only navigation.
4. Known Limitations
Identified Issues
Despite our best efforts, some content may not fully meet all WCAG 2.1 Level AA criteria. Known limitations may include certain third-party embedded content, older PDF documents, or dynamic animations that do not yet have full assistive-technology support.
Ongoing Improvement
We are actively working to address identified gaps. Our development team regularly reviews accessibility reports and prioritizes fixes in each product release cycle. If you encounter a specific issue, please let us know so we can address it promptly.
