Our target
This site is built toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. It has not yet been independently audited with assistive technology, so this page describes how the site is built rather than making a formal conformance claim.
What that means in practice
- Keyboard. Navigation, the house explorer, the pest finder, the city list and every form control can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone. Focus is always visible, using one high-contrast treatment across the whole site.
- Structure. Semantic landmarks, one
h1 per page and a heading order that does not skip levels. A “skip to main content” link is the first thing in the tab order. - Forms. Every control has a visible label. Errors are announced, described in text, tied to their field and summarised at the top of the form with links to what needs fixing. Nothing is communicated by colour alone.
- Contrast. Body text, headings, buttons and links are set in colours chosen to meet the AA contrast ratios on the white, grey and charcoal sections of the site.
- Touch targets. Buttons, form controls and the main navigation are at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels on touch screens.
- Status messages. Finder results, city-search results, the selected house area and form submission states are announced to screen readers without moving focus.
Motion
- If your operating system requests reduced motion, we honour it automatically: transitions become immediate state changes and the page no longer scrolls smoothly on anchor links.
- There is also a Reduce motion toggle in the footer of every page, so you can override the setting for this site alone. Your choice is stored in your own browser.
- Nothing on the site auto-plays, loops or flashes.
Images and illustration
- The house illustration is a labelled image. Selecting an area highlights it visually and also updates a text panel that names the area and explains it, so the highlight is never the only cue.
- The engraved pest drawings are decorative and are hidden from assistive technology; the pest name and description sit beside them as text.
- Photographs carry descriptive alternative text.
Known limitations
- Many service, city and offer links lead to the main Eastside Exterminators website, which is built separately. This statement covers this site only.
- The pest finder gives orientation, not a diagnosis; an inspection confirms the pest and the right service.
