Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility

At AsphaltCalculatorUSA.com, we are committed to ensuring our website and tools are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards and continuously work to improve usability for everyone.

Our goal is to provide an inclusive experience, whether you are a contractor, engineer, or DIY user. We believe accessibility is an ongoing process and welcome feedback to help us enhance our platform.

Current Accessibility Features

1. Keyboard Navigation

  • All interactive elements, including the asphalt calculator, buttons, and menus, can be accessed using only a keyboard (Tab, Enter, Arrow Keys).
  • Skip-to-content links allow screen reader users to bypass repetitive navigation.

2. Screen Reader Compatibility

  • Semantic HTML5 markup and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) labels are used to ensure compatibility with JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.
  • Form fields and buttons include descriptive labels for assistive technologies.

3. Adjustable Text & Contrast

  • Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality (use browser zoom or text-size settings).
  • Color contrast ratios meet WCAG standards (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).

4. Alternative Text for Visual Content

  • All images, charts, and diagrams include descriptive alt text.
  • Decorative images are marked with empty alt attributes to avoid unnecessary announcements.

5. Consistent & Predictable Layout

  • Navigation menus and interactive elements follow a logical structure.
  • Error messages in forms provide clear instructions (e.g., “Required field” alerts).

Areas for Improvement & Ongoing Testing

We acknowledge that some areas of our website may still need enhancement. Our current focus includes:

  • Video Content: Adding captions and transcripts for future tutorial videos.
  • Dynamic Calculator Updates: Improving real-time announcements for screen readers.
  • Mobile Accessibility: Optimizing touch targets and gesture-based navigation.

Third-Party Content Disclaimer

While we control our core website, some third-party tools (e.g., embedded maps, ad networks) may not fully meet our accessibility standards. We encourage users to report these issues so we can advocate for improvements with vendors.
