Accessibility Compliance

At Richstone Surfaces, we are committed to ensuring our website is accessible to all users. We believe the internet should be available and usable by everyone, regardless of ability. Our goal is to maintain accessibility compliance and provide an ADA compliant website that offers an inclusive experience for the broadest possible audience.

To support digital accessibility compliance, we strive to follow the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to individuals with disabilities, including people with visual impairments, motor disabilities, cognitive limitations, and other accessibility needs.

Our website incorporates technologies and features designed to support accessible web design standards. We provide an accessibility interface that allows users with disabilities to customize the website’s user interface and adjust settings to meet their specific needs.

In addition, our site uses an AI-powered accessibility tool that continuously improves accessibility performance. This system analyzes website content and enhances HTML structure, adapts functionality for screen readers, and improves keyboard navigation for individuals with motor impairments.

Screen Reader and Keyboard Navigation

Our website integrates ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes and behavioral improvements to help users who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers.

When users access the website using a screen reader, they are prompted to activate the Screen Reader Profile, which optimizes navigation and functionality.

Screen Reader Optimization

The website automatically scans its components to maintain accessibility compliance, even as updates are made. This system:

• Provides accurate labels for forms and interactive elements
• Adds descriptive text for icons such as social media, search, and navigation icons
• Identifies element roles including buttons, menus, and dialog windows
• Supplies alternative text descriptions for images through image recognition technology
• Extracts text from images using optical character recognition (OCR)

Users can activate screen reader adjustments by pressing Alt + 1 on their keyboard.

Our accessibility features are compatible with widely used screen readers including:

• JAWS
• NVDA
• VoiceOver
• TalkBack

Keyboard Navigation Optimization

Our website also supports full keyboard navigation accessibility. Users can browse the site using keyboard commands such as:

• Tab / Shift + Tab to move between elements
• Arrow keys to navigate menus
• Enter to activate buttons and links
• Esc to close menus or pop-ups
• Spacebar to select checkboxes or form fields

A content-skip menu is available using Alt + 2, allowing users to quickly jump to main sections of the site.

Additional shortcuts allow users to navigate to specific elements:

• M – menus
• H – headings
• F – forms
• B – buttons
• G – graphics
