Website Accessibility Statement

Accessibility Statement

Last updated April 30, 2026 · Last reviewed April 30, 2026. We build websites everyone can use — and we hold our own site to the same standard.

Our commitment

Colorado Web Impressions is committed to making coloradowebimpressions.com accessible to people of all abilities, including people who use screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, voice control, screen magnification, and other assistive technology. Accessibility is treated as a core requirement of every page we ship, not an afterthought.

Standards we follow

We design and build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA published by the W3C. We also align with the relevant accessibility provisions of:

  • The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title III
  • Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act
  • Colorado HB 21-1110 (Colorado Laws for Persons with Disabilities) technology accessibility standards

Conformance status

This website is designed to partially conform with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. "Partially conforms" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard — this is the honest, audit-correct phrasing. No website that contains third-party embeds, user-generated content, or live media can truthfully claim full conformance, and we won't pretend otherwise. We continuously work to close the gap.

What we do

  • Semantic HTML and a logical heading hierarchy on every page.
  • Descriptive alt text on every meaningful image.
  • Full keyboard navigation with visible focus indicators that meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast.
  • Color contrast meeting or exceeding 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text and UI components, in both light and dark modes.
  • Responsive layouts that remain usable at 200% zoom and reflow to a 320 CSS pixel viewport without horizontal scrolling.
  • Forms with programmatically associated labels, clear error messaging, and required-field indication beyond color alone.
  • Skip-to-content links, ARIA landmarks, and accessible names on all interactive elements.
  • Motion-reducing preferences respected via prefers-reduced-motion.

No accessibility overlay or widget

We deliberately do not use accessibility overlays, toolbars, or widgets (such as AccessiBe, UserWay, EqualWeb, AudioEye, or similar). Disability-rights organizations and accessibility professionals broadly recommend against these tools because they often interfere with users' own assistive technology and don't fix the underlying accessibility issues. Instead, we build accessibility directly into the site's code so it works correctly with whatever assistive technology you already use.

Known limitations

No website is perfect. Despite our efforts, you may encounter accessibility barriers — particularly within third-party embeds (maps, video players, scheduling tools, review widgets), older archived blog content, or PDFs we have not yet remediated. If you find one, we treat it as a bug and fix it on a clear timeline (see below).

Report an accessibility issue

We welcome your feedback. If you have trouble accessing any part of this website, please contact us with the following information so we can reproduce and fix the problem quickly:

  • The URL of the page where the issue occurs
  • A short description of the problem
  • The browser, device, and assistive technology you are using (if applicable)
  • Your preferred method of follow-up (email or phone)

Email: hello@coloradowebimpressions.com
Phone: (719) 419-3935
Mail: Colorado Web Impressions, 3210 E Woodmen Rd Ste 110, Colorado Springs, CO 80920

Our response commitment: we acknowledge every accessibility report within 2 business days, respond with a substantive reply within 5 business days, and aim to resolve confirmed issues within 30 days. If a fix will take longer, we will tell you why and give you a target date.

Third-party content

Some embedded content (such as third-party maps, video players, or scheduling widgets) may not fully conform to WCAG 2.1 AA. We choose vendors with strong accessibility track records and avoid embeds that have known major issues.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

We test our website against current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on both desktop and mobile. For assistive technology, we verify core flows with VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, NVDA on Windows, and TalkBack on Android. Older browsers may still load the site, but visual polish and animation behavior are not guaranteed below the latest two major versions.

How we test and maintain accessibility

Accessibility is part of our build process, not an afterthought. Every new page ships through automated checks (axe-core, Lighthouse) plus a manual keyboard-only pass before it goes live. When we redesign a section, we re-run contrast checks against the latest WCAG 2.1 AA color thresholds and validate that focus order still follows visual reading order.

If you are evaluating us for a project that has its own accessibility requirements, our pre-launch checklist shows the exact items we verify before any site goes live.

Formal complaints

If you have reported an accessibility barrier and feel it has not been resolved adequately, you may escalate the matter by writing to the same email address above with the subject line "Accessibility Complaint." A senior team member will personally review the report and respond within 10 business days with either a fix, a documented workaround, or a target resolution date.
