Accessibility

Our commitment to an accessible dental information and appointment-request experience.

The short answer

Accessibility on this site is designed toward WCAG 2.2 AA with semantic structure, keyboard access, visible focus, readable contrast, labeled fields, text-based errors, reduced-motion support, and responsive zoom.

Accessibility is tested throughout design, content, form, and technical updates, not treated as a one-time overlay.

Current accessibility commitments

Pages use meaningful headings, descriptive links, keyboard-operable controls, persistent form labels, status messages, sufficient color contrast, large touch targets, and motion that respects user settings.

How the site is checked

Every build runs code-level checks against the rendered pages of a sample that includes the home page, the contact page, the privacy notice, the terms, this statement and the about page. The checks look at page structure: a single main landmark, one level-one heading, a document language, labelled form fields, text for images and a readable name for every link.

Because the checks are mechanical, they do not replace a person using a screen reader or a keyboard. When a barrier is reported, it is fixed in the templates rather than on one page, because the same component usually appears on many pages.

Tables, forms and long pages

Data tables carry a caption and column headers so that a screen reader can announce what a figure belongs to. The appointment request form keeps its labels visible while you type, shows errors as text beside the field, and can be completed without a mouse.

Long pages are divided by headings that describe what each section answers, so a reader can jump through the page instead of listening to it from the top.
