Introduction
Winstead PC is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure our website is accessible to all users, regardless of ability.
We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services provided through our website. Our dedication to inclusive design reflects our core values of integrity, respect, and service to our clients and community.
This Accessibility Statement applies to the Winstead PC website located at winsteadonline.com and outlines our efforts to ensure accessibility for all visitors.
Conformance Status
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and following them helps make the web more user-friendly for everyone.
The WCAG 2.1 guidelines are organized under four principles:
- Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
- Operable: User interface components and navigation must be operable by all users.
- Understandable: Information and the operation of the user interface must be understandable.
- Robust: Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.
We regularly assess our website's conformance with these standards and work to address any identified gaps.
Accessibility Features
Our website incorporates the following accessibility features to ensure an inclusive experience:
Semantic HTML Structure
We use proper HTML5 semantic elements throughout our website, including appropriate heading hierarchy, landmarks, and structural elements. This helps assistive technologies understand and navigate our content effectively.
Keyboard Navigation
All interactive elements on our website are accessible via keyboard. Users can navigate through links, buttons, forms, and other interactive components using standard keyboard commands. Focus indicators are visible to help users track their position on the page.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Our website is designed to be compatible with popular screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. We provide appropriate alternative text for images, ARIA labels where necessary, and ensure that all content is accessible through assistive technologies.
Color Contrast Ratios
We maintain color contrast ratios that meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements. Text and interactive elements have sufficient contrast against their backgrounds to ensure readability for users with visual impairments.
Resizable Text
Our website supports text resizing up to 200% without loss of content or functionality. Users can adjust text size using browser settings or zoom functionality while maintaining the integrity of page layouts.
Alternative Text for Images
All meaningful images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the purpose and content of the image. Decorative images are marked appropriately to be skipped by assistive technologies.
Form Labels and Error Messages
All form fields have associated labels that clearly describe the required input. Error messages are programmatically associated with form fields and provide clear guidance for correction. Required fields are clearly indicated.
Known Issues
While we strive for full accessibility, we are aware of the following limitations:
- Some PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen readers. We are working to remediate existing documents and ensure all new documents are created with accessibility in mind.
- Third-party integrations, such as certain embedded content, may not fully conform to our accessibility standards. We work with our vendors to encourage improved accessibility.
- Some older content may not meet current accessibility standards. We are systematically reviewing and updating legacy content.
We are actively working to address these issues and have established the following plans for improvement:
- Conducting regular accessibility audits using both automated tools and manual testing
- Remediating PDF documents to ensure accessibility
- Implementing additional accessibility enhancements based on user feedback
- Training content creators on accessibility best practices

Document Links
Links to external documents or third-party websites may lead to content that is not under our control. We cannot guarantee the accessibility of external content but encourage users to report any issues so we may consider alternative solutions.
We actively work with third-party vendors to encourage improved accessibility and seek accessible alternatives when available.
Enforcement Procedure
In situations where you are dissatisfied with our response to your accessibility concern, you have the right to file a complaint with appropriate authorities.
