Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Lake Smog Test Only 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 guarantee we provide equal access to all users.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

www.lakesmogtest.com is fully conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Fully conformant means that the content fully conforms to the accessibility standard without any exceptions.

Measures Taken

Lake Smog Test Only takes the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website:

• Semantic HTML: All pages use proper HTML5 semantic elements including <header>, <main>, <nav>, <section>, and <footer> landmarks.
• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are fully operable via keyboard, with visible focus indicators that meet the 3:1 contrast ratio requirement.
• Color Contrast: All text and interactive components meet the WCAG 2.1 AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
• Alternative Text: All images include descriptive alt attributes. Decorative icons are hidden from assistive technologies with aria-hidden="true".
• Form Accessibility: All form inputs have associated labels, required fields are indicated with aria-required, and error/success messages use ARIA live regions for real-time announcements.
• Skip Navigation: A "Skip to main content" link is provided on every page for keyboard users.
• Reduced Motion Support: All animations and transitions respect the prefers-reduced-motion user preference, with smooth scrolling disabled for users who request reduced motion.
• Responsive Design: The website is fully responsive and functional across all screen sizes and orientations.
• Touch Target Size: All buttons and interactive elements meet the minimum 44×44 pixel touch target requirement.
• High Contrast Mode: The website supports Windows High Contrast Mode and the CSS forced-colors media query.
• Link Identification: Links within body text are visually distinguishable through underlines, not relying on color alone.
• ARIA Attributes: Appropriate ARIA roles, states, and properties are used throughout, including labeled navigation landmarks, toggle states for menus, and descriptive labels for star ratings.

• Highlight links — Make every link on the page visually identifiable.
