Our Commitment to Accessibility

Norge Windows and Doors Inc. is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is accessible to as many users as possible, regardless of ability.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to information about our windows and doors products and services. Our goal is to provide a website that is inclusive and usable by all visitors, including those using assistive technologies.

Accessibility Standards

We strive to conform our website to the following accessibility standards:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 - We aim to meet Level AA conformance, which addresses the most significant accessibility barriers for users with disabilities.
• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) - We work to ensure our website is accessible and usable by individuals with disabilities in accordance with ADA requirements.
• Section 508 - We endeavor to meet the accessibility standards outlined in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Accessibility Features

Our website incorporates the following accessibility features to ensure a better user experience for all visitors:

Semantic HTML Structure

We use proper HTML5 semantic elements throughout our website, including appropriate heading hierarchy, landmark regions, and meaningful markup. This helps assistive technologies understand the structure and content of our pages.

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements on our website are accessible via keyboard. Users can navigate through menus, links, buttons, and form controls using standard keyboard commands such as Tab, Enter, and arrow keys. A skip navigation link is provided at the top of each page to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Our website is designed to be compatible with popular screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. We use appropriate ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) labels, roles, and properties where necessary to enhance the experience for screen reader users.

Color Contrast

We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with visual impairments or color blindness. Our color choices meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements for contrast.

Alt Text for Images

All meaningful images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the purpose and content of the image. Decorative images are marked appropriately to be ignored by assistive technologies.

Form Labels

All form inputs have associated labels that clearly describe the expected input. Required fields are clearly marked, and error messages are provided in an accessible format to help users correct form submission errors.

Focus Indicators

Visible focus indicators are provided on all interactive elements. When a user navigates using a keyboard, they can clearly see which element currently has focus through a visible outline or highlighting.

Accessibility is an ongoing priority for Norge Windows and Doors Inc. We are committed to:

• Regularly auditing our website for accessibility issues using both automated tools and manual testing
