Accessibility Statement

Introduction

American Body Company 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 we provide equal access to all users.

Our goal is to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal access to the information and services provided on our website. We believe that everyone should be able to access our website and digital content regardless of ability, and we are committed to providing an accessible experience for all visitors.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features on our website to ensure equal access for all users:

• Semantic HTML Structure: Our website uses proper semantic HTML elements including headings, lists, and landmarks to provide a clear structure for assistive technologies.
• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements on our website are accessible via keyboard navigation. Users can navigate through the site using the Tab key and other standard keyboard shortcuts.
• Alt Text for Images: All meaningful images on our website include descriptive alternative text that conveys the content and purpose of the image.
• Color Contrast: We maintain a color contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Responsive Design: Our website is designed to be fully responsive and functional across all devices and screen sizes, including mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
• Form Labels and ARIA Attributes: All form fields include proper labels, and we use ARIA attributes where necessary to provide additional context for assistive technologies.
• Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements to help keyboard users navigate effectively.
• Skip Navigation: A skip navigation link is available to allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation elements and go directly to the main content.

Conformance Status

American Body Company aims 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.

We regularly monitor our website for compliance with accessibility standards and conduct periodic audits to identify and address any barriers. Our team receives training on accessibility best practices to ensure that new content and features meet these standards.

We are actively working to achieve and maintain full conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Our efforts include ongoing testing, remediation, and training to address accessibility issues as they are identified.
