Accessibility
This guide is built for everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, or other assistive technology. Our conformance target is WCAG 2.2 Level AA as a minimum, and we strive toward Level AAA wherever it does not compromise clarity.
What we do
- Semantic HTML landmarks (header, main, nav, footer) and a logical heading order — one H1 per page.
- A “Skip to content” link as the first focusable element on every page.
- Visible focus indicators on every interactive element — links, buttons, form fields, and the FAQ accordion.
- Color contrast that meets AA and, for body and meta text, reaches AAA on our backgrounds.
- Keyboard-operable navigation and FAQ accordions built on native HTML, no custom widget traps.
- Form fields with associated labels, and status messages announced to assistive technology.
- Images carry descriptive alternative text and explicit dimensions to prevent layout shift.
- Motion is minimal and respects the “reduce motion” system setting.
What we don’t do
We do not install an accessibility-overlay widget. Overlays are widely reported by disabled users as ineffective, and they are not a substitute for accessible markup. We build real accessibility into the page instead.
Report a barrier
If you encounter anything on this site that is difficult to use with assistive technology, please email info@newbraunfelsacguide.com and describe the page and the problem. We treat accessibility issues as priority fixes.
