LocalServiceHQ aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA on every page. We test the calculators, the directory and the service pages with keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels and 200% zoom.

What we have done

Every interactive control has a visible keyboard focus ring.
Inputs and selects have visible labels, not placeholder-only labels.
Images carry descriptive alt text; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
Colour contrast targets 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text.
Pages work without JavaScript for the main content, with the calculators requiring it.

Known limitations

Some very old embedded calculator widgets are being replaced; the new versions are keyboard accessible.
Third-party social share previews are outside our control.

Accessibility statement and testing

Conformance target

LocalServiceHQ aims to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA on every page. That covers the price guides, the calculators, the directory, the events pages and the forms. We treat accessibility as a maintenance task, not a one-time audit.

What we have implemented

Area	What we did
Keyboard use	Every link, button and form control has a visible focus ring and can be reached with Tab
Forms	Inputs have visible labels, not placeholder-only labels, and errors are written in text
Images	Photos have descriptive alt text; decorative images are hidden from screen readers
Contrast	Body text targets 4.5:1 and large text 3:1 against its background
Zoom	Layouts work at 200% zoom without a horizontal scrollbar
Motion	No autoplay video or flashing content; no intrusive interstitials
Calculators	The calculator inputs and results are keyboard accessible and labelled

How we test

Keyboard-only pass on the calculator, directory and form pages
Screen reader pass on a sample of guide, calculator and directory pages
Zoom and mobile width checks at 320px, 390px and 200% desktop zoom
Automated checks for missing labels, alt text and heading order

Known limitations

Some older embedded calculator widgets are being replaced with the accessible versions.
Third-party previews, such as social share cards, are outside our control.
A few data tables scroll horizontally on very small screens. The same data is in the price index as a filterable table and a CSV.
