Accessibility Statement
Website Accessibility at ElectricianAndElectricalContractorPro.com
We want homeowners with disabilities to be able to access residential electrical-service information, understand the provider-connection process, and use the Website's navigation and content with as few barriers as reasonably possible.
Last reviewed: September 27, 2026
Accessibility approach:
the Website aims to use WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a practical reference for ongoing accessibility work. This statement does not make a formal claim that every page, document or third-party component fully conforms to every WCAG success criterion.
Our Commitment
Accessibility Is an Ongoing Website Practice
Websites change as content, plugins, templates and third-party tools are updated. Accessibility therefore requires ongoing review rather than a one-time statement. Our goal is to reduce barriers that can affect people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, voice input, captions or other assistive technologies.
We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) published by the World Wide Web Consortium as an important technical reference. The U.S. Department of Justice also identifies WCAG and other technical standards as useful guidance for web accessibility.
Accessibility Practices
Features We Aim to Support
These practices guide page design, content publishing and future updates.
2
Headings and Structure
Pages should use a logical heading hierarchy and meaningful sections so users of screen readers and other assistive technologies can navigate content more efficiently.
3
Readable Text and Contrast
Text should use readable sizing and sufficient contrast against its background. Important information should not be communicated by color alone.
4
Alternative Text
Meaningful images should include useful alternative text when the image conveys information. Decorative images should not create unnecessary screen-reader noise.
5
Descriptive Links and Controls
Links and buttons should use understandable labels that make sense in context instead of relying only on vague text or visual position.
6
Zoom and Responsive Layout
Content should remain usable when text is enlarged or the page is viewed on smaller screens, without forcing unnecessary horizontal scrolling for ordinary reading.
7
Forms and Error Messages
If forms are added, fields should have associated labels, instructions and understandable error messages, with required status communicated programmatically where practical.
8
Motion and Multimedia
If animation, video or audio is added, the site should avoid unnecessary flashing or motion and should provide captions, transcripts or other accessible alternatives where appropriate.
Testing & Maintenance
How Accessibility Should Be Reviewed
Automated tools are useful, but manual review remains important because automated scans cannot identify every accessibility barrier.
| Review method | What to check |
|---|---|
| Keyboard-only review | Move through navigation, buttons, links and interactive elements using the keyboard and confirm that focus remains visible and logical. |
| Screen-reader spot checks | Review key page templates with screen-reader software or equivalent accessibility testing tools when practical. |
| Color and contrast checks | Check important text, buttons, alerts and form states for usable contrast and avoid using color as the only cue. |
| Zoom / reflow checks | Review pages at increased browser zoom and on narrow mobile widths to identify clipping, overlap or content that becomes difficult to reach. |
| Heading / landmark review | Check that page structure is meaningful and that headings are not used only for visual styling. |
| Link and control review | Confirm that interactive elements have understandable labels and are not dependent on hover alone. |
| Automated accessibility scans | Use automated accessibility tools as a supplement to manual review. Automated scans do not identify every accessibility problem. |
| Content updates | Re-check accessibility when templates, plugins, widgets, navigation, forms or major page sections are materially changed. |
Feedback
Report an Accessibility Barrier
If you have difficulty using a page, link, document or feature on this Website, please use the Contact Us page and identify the message as an accessibility issue.
When possible, include the page or feature affected and a brief explanation of what prevented access. This information helps reproduce and review the issue.
Accessibility feedback is used to identify practical improvements to content, navigation and site functionality. Response timing can vary depending on the nature of the barrier and the changes required.
Useful Information to Include
- Page or feature affected: Include the page name or URL if available.
- Barrier encountered: Explain what you were trying to do and what made the task difficult or impossible.
- Assistive technology: If relevant and you are comfortable sharing it, mention the browser, device, screen reader or other assistive technology used.
- Preferred response method: Use the Contact Us page to identify an accessibility request and provide a practical method for follow-up if the site offers one.
Third-Party Limitations
Content and Tools Outside Our Direct Control
Some accessibility issues can originate in services or websites operated by third parties.
| Area | Accessibility limitation |
|---|---|
| Third-party websites | Government agencies, utilities, independent providers and other external websites have their own accessibility practices and are not controlled by this Website. |
| Embedded or third-party widgets | Plugins, call-routing interfaces, maps, videos or other embedded tools may have accessibility limitations outside the Website operator's direct control. |
| Documents and legacy files | Some downloadable documents or older content may require additional remediation. If a document is difficult to use, an alternative format should be considered when reasonably available. |
| Independent provider communications | Telephone, scheduling, billing and customer-service systems used by an independent provider are controlled by that provider, not by this Website. |
Alternative Access
If a Website Feature Is Difficult to Use
If a specific page or document creates an accessibility barrier, use the Contact Us page and identify the content you were trying to access. Where reasonably available, an alternative presentation of the information can be considered while the underlying issue is reviewed.
For residential electrical-service requests, the Website's provider-connection model remains separate from accessibility support. Independent providers may use their own telephone, scheduling, payment and customer-service systems, which are governed by the provider's own accessibility practices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Accessibility Statement FAQs
What accessibility standard does the Website use as a reference?
The Website aims to use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as a practical technical reference for ongoing accessibility work. This statement does not make a formal claim that every page or third-party component fully conforms to every WCAG success criterion.
Does this statement guarantee that every page is fully accessible?
No. Accessibility is an ongoing process, and websites can change as content, plugins and third-party tools are updated. The goal is to identify and reduce barriers and respond to accessibility issues that are reported.
Can I use the Website with a keyboard?
The site's navigation and interactive controls should be designed to support keyboard use. If a control cannot be reached or used without a mouse, report the affected page through the Contact Us page.
Do images have alternative text?
Meaningful images should have alternative text when they convey information, while decorative images should be handled so they do not create unnecessary screen-reader output. Image usage should be reviewed when pages are published or updated.
What if text is too small?
Modern browsers allow text and page zoom. The Website should remain usable at increased zoom levels and on mobile devices. If content overlaps, clips or becomes inaccessible when enlarged, that should be reported.
Do you rely only on color to communicate important information?
The accessibility goal is to avoid using color alone for important status, required information or instructions. Text, icons, labels or other cues should also be used where needed.
Are videos accessible?
If meaningful video or audio content is published, captions, transcripts or another accessible alternative should be provided where appropriate. Third-party media players may have their own accessibility behavior.
What if a downloadable document is difficult to use?
Use the Contact Us page to report the document and the accessibility barrier. Where reasonably available, the Website can consider an alternative format or a more accessible presentation of the same information.
Are third-party electrician websites covered by this statement?
No. Independent providers and external websites are separate businesses or organizations with their own websites, tools and accessibility practices.
How can I report an accessibility problem?
Use the Contact Us page and identify the request as an accessibility issue. Include the affected page and a brief description of the barrier so the issue can be reviewed.
Does the ADA require websites to be accessible?
The U.S. Department of Justice states that the ADA's nondiscrimination and effective-communication requirements apply to web accessibility for covered entities, while technical compliance obligations depend on the entity and applicable law. This Website uses DOJ guidance and WCAG as important accessibility references.
Will this statement be updated?
Yes. The statement should be reviewed when the Website's design, major features, third-party tools or accessibility practices materially change.
