Vanguard Cleaning Systems of Ohio – Accessibility Policy
Last updated: 04/15/2025
Vanguard Cleaning Systems of Ohio (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to ensuring that our website, https://vanguardohio.com/, is accessible to individuals with disabilities. We continually work to improve the user experience for all and apply relevant accessibility standards to achieve these goals.
1. Our Commitment
- Compliance Efforts
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA (World Wide Web Consortium [W3C], 2018). These guidelines outline design principles for making web content more accessible, including easier navigation and comprehensible content for users of assistive technologies. - Inclusive Design
Our approach includes integrating accessibility features during the design, development, and maintenance phases. We monitor and update our website regularly to address barriers and improve overall accessibility.
2. Accessibility Features
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website aims to support full keyboard-based navigation.
- Alternative Text: We implement descriptive alternative text for images wherever possible.
- Headings and Structure: We use appropriate headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to convey page structure, aiding screen readers and other assistive technologies.
- Color Contrast: We regularly check color contrast ratios to ensure legibility for those with vision impairments.
- Form Labels and Errors: We label form elements clearly and aim to provide real-time error notifications that are screen-reader accessible.
3. Ongoing Efforts and Testing
Our web team uses automated and manual testing tools to identify accessibility issues. This includes the use of:
- Automated scans to detect potential barriers.
- Manual reviews on assistive technologies such as screen readers.
- Regular audits to ensure ongoing compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
4. Third-Party Content
Our website may include links to third-party content or services.
