Accessibility
We believe in building websites for all.
At Twirling Umbrellas, we’re dedicated to making sure our website and the websites we build for our clients are fully accessible and usable by as many people as possible.
Our approach to accessibility.
Creating an accessible website is essential for an inclusive digital presence that iswelcoming to all users – regardless of their abilities. Our approach integrates accessibility features from the ground up to ensure a user-friendly experience for everyone. This includes:
Standards & Guidelines
We build websites to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA standards and comply with Canadian privacy regulations, including PIPEDA.
High-Contrast & Responsive Design
Our design process ensures sufficient colour contrast results in fully responsive layouts with fluid typography, providing an optimal experience across devices and for all users.
Structured Content
We use semantic HTML to create a clear content hierarchy, enabling smooth navigation for screen readers and assistive technologies.
Keyboard Navigation & ARIA Support
We implement robust keyboard navigation and ARIA attributes to ensure that all interactive elements are accessible.
Testing & Compliance
We don’t use or recommend overlays. Instead, we conduct comprehensive accessibility testing, including automated checks, screen reader tests, and keyboard-only navigation reviews.
Accessibility means always adapting.
We understand accessibility isn’t a one-time fix. To stay on top of evolving accessibility requirements, we need to follow the latest guideline updates and ensure we’re constantly making iterative improvements to the websites we’re supporting. That’s where an ongoing WebOps engagement can provide significant value and peace of mind.
