A site that works for everyone who needs it.

Our commitment

We believe a professional website should be usable by the broadest possible audience, including people using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, magnification, or other assistive technologies. We treat accessibility as part of doing the work well, not as a compliance checkbox.

Conformance target

We design and review this site against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. We don’t claim full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance at launch, but it is the standard we aim for and the standard we measure ourselves against.

What we’ve done

Specific accessibility considerations built into this site:

• Semantic HTML. Pages use proper heading hierarchies, navigation landmarks, and ARIA attributes where they add real value.
• Keyboard navigation. All interactive elements (links, form fields, buttons, filter chips) are reachable and operable using a keyboard.
• Color contrast. Text and interactive elements have been checked for sufficient contrast against their backgrounds (4.5:1 or better for normal text against the navy and yellow palette).
• Alt text on images. Photographs and decorative images include descriptive alt attributes (or empty alt attributes where the image is purely decorative).
• Scalable typography. The site uses relative units so text remains readable when browser zoom or font-size preferences are increased.
• Visible focus states. Interactive elements show a clear focus outline so keyboard users can see where they are on the page.
• Form labeling. All form fields have associated text labels and clear error states.

Known limitations

We’d rather be honest than make conformance claims we can’t back. As of the date above, the following items are areas we are still improving:

• Embedded scheduling page. Our HubSpot Meetings scheduling page is hosted by HubSpot and adheres to their accessibility standards, which may differ from ours.
• Hot-linked third-party images. A small number of images on this site are hot-linked from Unsplash. We have provided alt text for them but cannot guarantee continuity if Unsplash modifies the source.
• PDF and document accessibility. Any PDFs or downloadable documents linked from this site have not been individually audited for accessibility. Please contact us if you encounter a document you need in an alternative format.

Assistive technologies we’ve tested with

This site has been tested in a reasonable cross-section of modern browser and assistive-technology combinations. We don’t guarantee perfect behavior on every legacy configuration, but we welcome feedback on issues you encounter.

How to report an issue or request help

If something on this site is hard to use, broken, or inaccessible, we want to know. Send a note to contact@whiteselm.com with:

• A description of the issue (or what you were trying to do).
• The URL of the page where it happened.
• The assistive technology, browser, and operating system you were using, if you can share that.

We aim to respond within one business day and to fix high-impact accessibility issues quickly. If you need the same information in an alternative format (large print, plain text, etc.) while we work on a fix, let us know and we’ll provide it.

Ongoing review

We review this site against our accessibility goals on an ongoing basis and after any substantive design or content change. The “last reviewed” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent dedicated review.
