Accessibility

Bulkhead Repair Jacksonville is published by Barefoot Marine Construction and is built to be usable by as many people as possible, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification or reduced-motion settings.

The target is WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We are describing what has been implemented rather than claiming certification, because a conformance claim without an audit behind it is not worth much.

• Semantic HTML throughout, with one H1 per page and a logical heading hierarchy
• A skip-to-content link as the first focusable element on every page
• Visible focus indicators on every interactive element
• Colour contrast checked against the brand palette for body text, headings and interface elements
• Form fields with real labels, not placeholder text standing in for them
• Validation errors associated with their fields programmatically and announced to assistive technology
• Required fields marked in text as well as visually
• Touch targets sized for comfortable use on a phone
• Inputs at a size that does not trigger zoom on iOS Safari
• Diagram explanations as real text in an ordered list rather than labels embedded in artwork
• Descriptive alternative text on images and descriptive accessible names on diagrams
• Animation suppressed for visitors whose system requests reduced motion
• The multi-step form moves focus to each new step heading so the change is announced
• FAQ disclosures built on native HTML elements, so they work without JavaScript
• Every page renders complete content without client-side JavaScript

The cross-section diagrams convey information visually. Each one carries a descriptive accessible name and a numbered legend in text, which together describe the mechanism — but a diagram is still an imperfect medium for anyone who cannot see it. If a diagram is central to something you need, the surrounding text is written to stand alone.

Photograph uploads require a device capable of selecting or capturing images. Assessment requests can be submitted without photographs, though the review is less useful without them.

This site has not been independently audited. If you encounter something that does not work, we would rather hear about it than have you assume it is intentional.

If something on this site is difficult or impossible to use, please tell us at quote@barefootmarine.com — the same address as everything else, and it is read. Put “accessibility” in the subject line. Describe the page, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology or settings you were using if that is relevant.

Accessibility problems are treated as defects, not feature requests.

If the assessment form is not usable for you, that should not stop you getting your wall looked at. Contact us by whatever means works, describe the problem in your own words, and the information can be captured on your behalf.
