Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Arete Consulting LLC is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is accessible to all users.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services provided through our website. Our goal is to provide a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.

Accessibility Standards We Follow

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

WCAG 2.1 guidelines are organized under four principles, known as POUR:

• Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
• Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable.
• Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
• Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Accessibility Features of Our Website

We have implemented the following accessibility features to ensure our website is usable by everyone:

Semantic HTML

We use proper HTML markup throughout our website to ensure that content is structured logically and can be understood by assistive technologies. This includes appropriate use of headings, lists, and landmark regions.

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements, including links, buttons, and form controls, using standard keyboard commands such as Tab, Enter, and arrow keys.

Screen Reader Compatibility

We have designed our website to be compatible with popular screen readers, including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. All images include descriptive alt text, and form fields have associated labels.

Color Contrast

We ensure that text has sufficient contrast against its background to be readable by users with low vision or color blindness. We maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.

Responsive Design

Our website is designed to be responsive and adapt to various screen sizes and devices. This ensures that users can access our content on desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones.

Form Labels

All form fields have clearly associated labels that describe the expected input. Required fields are clearly marked, and error messages are provided when form validation fails.
