Accessibility Statement
Last updated: July 11, 2026
Eight Crest Strategies LLC wants this website to be usable by as many people as possible, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation or magnification.
Standard we aim for
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. That standard is also the reference point used under the Americans with Disabilities Act and California's Unruh Civil Rights Act.
Testing performed
On July 11, 2026, this site was tested with axe-core, an automated accessibility testing engine, against the WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 A and AA rule sets, across all four pages of this site. That scan returned zero violations. Foreground/background color pairs that the automated scan could not resolve on its own, because they sit on a gradient background, were separately verified by sampling the rendered pixel colors directly and calculating contrast ratios by hand; all measured pairs meet or exceed the WCAG AA thresholds of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text and UI components.
What we have done
- Text and background color pairs meet the WCAG AA contrast minimum, verified by automated scan and, where the scan could not resolve a gradient background, by direct pixel measurement.
- The site can be operated by keyboard alone. A visible focus indicator shows where you are.
- A "skip to main content" link lets keyboard users bypass the navigation.
- Every image carries alternative text. Decorative graphics are marked so screen readers pass over them.
- Form fields have associated labels. The menu button exposes its state to assistive technology.
- Headings follow a logical order. The page declares its language.
- The layout reflows without horizontal scrolling down to a 320-pixel viewport, verified across nine device widths from 1440px to 320px.
Known limitations
Automated testing, including the scan described above, catches a meaningful share of WCAG issues but not all of them. It cannot judge whether alternative text is meaningfully descriptive, whether a reading order makes sense when heard rather than seen or how the site behaves with a real screen reader such as VoiceOver or NVDA. We have not yet completed that manual, assistive-technology pass. Accessibility work here is ongoing rather than finished. This statement will be updated as further testing is completed. If you find a barrier, we want to hear about it. We will treat it as a defect to be fixed.
