Blend Local Search Marketing is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe the web should be usable by all, regardless of ability or technology.
Our Standards
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.
What We Have Done
Our website includes the following accessibility features:
- Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
- Descriptive alt text for all meaningful images
- Keyboard-navigable menus, forms and interactive elements
- Sufficient colour contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text)
- Resizable text that works up to 200% without breaking layouts
- Focus indicators visible on all interactive elements
- ARIA labels and landmarks for screen reader navigation
- Consistent navigation and predictable page structure
- Form labels associated with all input fields
- Error messages that are clear and helpful
Ongoing Work
Accessibility is an ongoing process, not a one-time fix. We regularly:
- Review new content for accessibility before publishing
- Test with keyboard-only navigation
- Check colour contrast on new design elements
- Monitor for accessibility issues as we add features
Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, some areas of the site may not yet be fully accessible:
- Some older blog posts may lack alt text on images
- Third-party embedded content (videos, maps) may have limited accessibility controls
- Some PDF documents may not be fully screen-reader accessible
We are working to address these limitations as we migrate and update content.
