Accessibility Statement
Horizon Financial Partners is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance.
Our Commitment to Web Accessibility
At Horizon Financial Partners, we believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and services. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive online experience for all our users. This commitment extends to our website, where we strive to adhere to the highest standards of web accessibility.
We are continuously working to improve the user experience for everyone and are applying relevant accessibility standards to ensure our digital services are as welcoming and usable as possible. Our goal is to make information about our expert accounting services readily available and easy to navigate for individuals with diverse needs.
Adherence to Standards
Horizon Financial Partners is committed to conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA . These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and broadly, how to make websites more user-friendly for all people.
We regularly review our website against these guidelines to identify and rectify any accessibility barriers. Our development and content teams work collaboratively to implement and maintain these standards across all sections of our website.
Measures Taken to Support Accessibility
To ensure our website is accessible, we have taken the following measures:
- Purposeful Design: Our website is designed with accessibility in mind from the ground up, considering user needs in all design phases.
- Content Structure: We use semantic HTML markup to provide clear structure, allowing assistive technologies like screen readers to interpret content accurately. Headings are used logically to outline page content, and alternative text is provided for all meaningful images.
- Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements, including links, buttons, and form fields, are fully navigable using a keyboard alone. Users can tab through elements in a logical order and activate them using standard keyboard commands.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: We test our website with popular screen readers to ensure that the content is presented in an understandable and logical sequence. ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes are used where necessary to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and custom interface elements.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We ensure that there is adequate contrast between text and background colors to make content legible for users with low vision or color blindness. Our color palette has been chosen to meet WCAG contrast ratio requirements.
- Resizable Text: Users can adjust the text size in their browser without loss of content or functionality.
- Predictable Functionality: Interactive elements behave in predictable ways, and users are provided with clear feedback on their actions.
- Clear and Concise Language: We aim to use clear, simple language that is easy to understand, avoiding jargon where possible.
Ongoing Efforts and Feedback
We are aware that accessibility is an ongoing journey, not a destination. We continuously monitor our website, conduct regular audits, and welcome feedback from our users. Our aim is to ensure that Horizon Financial Partners' online presence is a valuable resource for all.
We are committed to training our staff on accessibility best practices and integrating these principles into our content creation and development processes. This proactive approach helps us maintain and enhance the accessibility of our digital offerings.
