Accessibility Statement
We build websites for a living, so it would be a poor look to publish one nobody could use. This page says what we have done, what still falls short, and how to tell us when we have got it wrong.

Our commitment
Local Brand Boosters is committed to making www.localbrandboosters.com usable by as many people as possible, regardless of disability, device or assistive technology. We treat accessibility as part of building the site, not as a box ticked after launch.
The standard we measure against
We target Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA.
This site is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partially conformant means most of the standard is met, but some content does not yet fully conform. The specific gaps are listed below rather than left vague — we would rather tell you than have you find out.
What we have done
- Semantic structure. Real landmarks (navigation, main, footer), one
h1per page and a heading order that does not skip levels, so screen readers can navigate by structure. - Keyboard access. Every link, button, form field, accordion and menu can be reached and operated with the keyboard alone, and interactive elements keep a visible focus indicator.
- Text alternatives. Every meaningful image carries a description written for it specifically, not a filename. Purely decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology with
aria-hidden, so they do not add noise. - Respect for reduced motion. If your operating system asks for reduced motion, all entrance animations, scroll reveals, the logo marquee and the testimonial autoplay stop. Nothing on this site moves against that preference.
- Forms that announce themselves. Every field has a real
<label>tied to it, and the contact form reports success and failure through a live region so a screen reader hears the result instead of it appearing silently. - Declared language. Each page declares its language, and the EN/ES switcher marks the language of the page it points to, so a screen reader changes voice correctly.
- Responsive and zoomable. The layout reflows down to small screens and up to 200% zoom without a horizontal scrollbar and without losing content.
- Nothing hijacked. No autoplaying audio or video, no pop-ups that trap focus, no content that flashes.
Known limitations
These are the gaps we are aware of as of the date at the top of this page. They are on our list to fix.
| What falls short | Who it affects | Where we are with it |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary and supporting text uses a mid-grey that reaches about 3.9:1 against the page background and 4.3:1 on white cards, short of the 4.5:1 that AA requires for normal-size text. | Readers with low vision or reading on a screen in bright sunlight. | Headings, body copy and every link already sit well above the threshold. Correcting the grey means changing a brand token across the whole site, which we are scheduling deliberately rather than patching page by page. |
| White text on the brand-blue buttons reaches about 3.3:1, below the 4.5:1 required for the small capitalised label text on them. | Readers with low vision. | The buttons are large, high-contrast shapes that are easy to locate; it is the label inside them that is short. Being addressed together with the item above. |
| The testimonial carousel advances on its own every five seconds and offers next/previous controls but no pause button, which WCAG 2.2.2 (Pause, Stop, Hide) asks for. | Readers who need more time, and anyone distracted by movement. | It stops completely if your system asks for reduced motion. A visible pause control is planned. |
If you hit a barrier that is not on this list, that is exactly the message we want. Tell us and we will fix it and add it here.
How we assessed this
This statement is based on a self-evaluation carried out by our own team, not by an independent third party. We used a combination of manual keyboard testing, review of the markup against the WCAG 2.2 success criteria, and direct calculation of colour-contrast ratios from the brand tokens the site actually uses.
Self-evaluation has obvious limits: we are testing our own work, and we do not use assistive technology daily. That is why the feedback route below matters more than this section does.
Compatibility
The site is built to work with current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile, combined with the screen readers those platforms ship with. It relies on standard HTML rather than custom widgets wherever possible — the FAQ uses native disclosure elements, for instance — which is the most reliable way to work with assistive technology we cannot test on directly.
It should also work with JavaScript disabled, apart from the mobile menu, the testimonial carousel and the contact form, which need it to function.
