Accessibility | David R. Blackhurst DDS

Our Commitment

David R. Blackhurst DDS wants every visitor to be able to use this website, including people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, or reduced motion. This site was designed and built to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA as its working standard.

What That Means in Practice

Semantic page structure and landmarks so assistive technology can navigate.
Every image described in text, or marked decorative.
Color contrast that meets AA ratios.
Full keyboard operation with a visible focus indicator, and a skip link to the main content.
Forms with proper labels and clear error messages.
Captions or a text alternative for video where used.
Respect for your reduced-motion setting, and pinch-to-zoom never disabled.

How We Check

Before launch, and after significant updates, every page is scanned with an automated WCAG 2.1 AA checker (axe-core), and critical or serious issues are fixed before the site goes live. Automated tools catch most but not all barriers, so pages are also reviewed by hand with a keyboard and a screen reader.

Display Options

The round button in the corner of every page opens display options: larger text, a plainer font, underlined or highlighted links, high-contrast and dark modes, grayscale, and paused animations. Your choices are saved on your device. These options are a convenience layered on top of an accessible site; they are not a substitute for one, and they are not a claim of legal compliance.

Limits, Honestly

Standards, browsers, and assistive technologies keep changing, and some third-party content (embedded maps, review platforms, documents supplied by others) may not meet the same standard. We don't claim perfection or legal compliance; we claim a standard, a process, and a fast response when something falls short.
