Accessibility.
Our commitment to a website that works for everyone, conformant with WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508.
Contents
LightFeather is committed to making our website usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. Accessibility is part of how we build human-centered technology, on this Site and in the work we deliver.
The standard we hold ourselves to.
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the technical standard incorporated by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. § 794d). WCAG AA is our floor, not our ceiling.
This statement describes the accessibility of our public marketing website. The Section 508 conformance of any specific product, deliverable, or system we develop under a Government contract is addressed separately through that contract, including any Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR/VPAT®) and acceptance criteria specified by the contracting agency.
Measures we take.
To support access for all visitors, we design and build the Site to:
- Meet WCAG AA color-contrast ratios for text and interactive elements;
- Provide a visible keyboard focus indicator on every interactive element (we never remove focus styling);
- Support keyboard-only navigation, with hit targets of at least 44×44 pixels;
- Use semantic landmarks, headings, and labeled form inputs so assistive technologies can interpret the page;
- Provide text alternatives for meaningful images and icons;
- Avoid using color as the only way to convey information or state; and
- Honor the operating-system “reduced motion” preference for animation.
Accessibility is ongoing.
We test with a combination of automated tools and manual review, and we work to remediate issues as we find them. Because content and technology change, some parts of the Site may not yet fully conform. We are continually improving.
Third-party content.
Some content or functionality on the Site may be provided by third parties whose accessibility we do not fully control. Where we identify barriers in third-party components, we work with the provider or seek an accessible alternative.
Tell us about a barrier.
If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this Site, or need information provided in an alternative format, we want to hear from you. Please reach out through our Let’s Talk page and include the page address, the problem you experienced, and the assistive technology or browser you were using. We review accessibility feedback and work to respond and resolve issues as promptly as we can.
Requesting an accommodation.
If you are an applicant or a member of the public who needs a reasonable accommodation to access our services or information, please reach out through our Let’s Talk page and we will work with you to meet your needs.
