Our commitment
Quick Dentist Finder is committed to making its website accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA as published by the W3C, and we treat accessibility as an ongoing engineering responsibility, not a one-time audit.
What we've built in
- Semantic HTML throughout — headings, lists, navigation regions, and form labels associated with their inputs.
- Keyboard navigability — every interactive control is reachable and operable via Tab and Enter / Space without a mouse.
- Visible focus indicators on form fields and buttons.
- Text alternatives for images that convey information; decorative images are marked aria-hidden.
- Sufficient color contrast on text and UI controls.
- Responsive layout that reflows from desktop down to 320 px wide screens without horizontal scrolling.
- ARIA landmarks and labels on interactive widgets where native HTML semantics aren't enough.
- Forms that announce errors clearly and don't depend on color alone to communicate state.
Known limitations
We're transparent about gaps we're working on:
- Some user-submitted content (clinic descriptions, blog posts pulled from WordPress, FAQ answers) is created by third parties and may not always include alt text on embedded images. We're rolling out editor prompts to fix this.
- The Google Maps iframe on clinic profiles is operated by Google; its keyboard and screen-reader behavior is determined by Google, not us.
- PDFs (e.g. invoices, terms documents we may add in the future) are reviewed before publishing, but legacy PDFs may not always be fully tagged.
How to use the site with assistive technology
- Screen readers: the site is tested with VoiceOver (Safari), NVDA (Firefox), and JAWS (Chrome). Navigation regions are labeled so you can jump between header, main content, and footer.
- Keyboard only: use Tab to move forward, Shift+Tab to move back, Enter/Space to activate, Escape to close menus and modal dialogs.
- Zoom: the layout works correctly up to 200% browser zoom. Beyond that, single-column reflow keeps content readable.
Reporting accessibility issues
If you encounter a barrier on the site — anything that prevents you from completing a task — please tell us. We treat accessibility reports as priority bugs.
- Email: support@quickdentistfinder.com
- Contact form: /contact — select "Technical Issue" as the subject.
When reporting, please include the URL, your browser and operating system, and a description of what you were trying to do. We aim to respond within 2 business days.
Ongoing improvements
Accessibility is a moving target — guidelines evolve, content changes, and devices change. We commit to running automated accessibility checks on every release, conducting periodic manual audits, and incorporating user feedback into our backlog.
