Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 2026-05-16.

MedCore Strategies is committed to making medcorestrategies.com usable by the widest possible audience, including people with visual, motor, auditory, speech, and cognitive differences. Accessibility is treated as a core requirement of every page and component on the Site, not an afterthought layered on at the end.

Our Commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines are the standard adopted by the U.S. Department of Justice for public-facing websites and by most international accessibility frameworks. We treat WCAG AA as a floor, not a ceiling, and apply additional usability practices where they meaningfully improve the experience.

Conformance Status

This Site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means that some parts of the content do not yet fully meet the standard. The areas we are still working on are listed under “Known Limitations” below, along with our approach to addressing them.

Accessibility Features Built In

The following practices are part of the design system that every page on the Site is built against:

  • Skip link. A “Skip to main content” link is the first focusable element on every page, so keyboard users can bypass the primary navigation.
  • Semantic structure. Pages use correct landmark roles (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>), a single <h1> per page, and consistent heading hierarchy so assistive technology can announce structure correctly.
  • Keyboard operability. Every interactive element — links, buttons, form fields, the mega-navigation, and the mobile drawer — is reachable and operable using a keyboard alone. Tab order follows visual reading order.
  • Visible focus states. Every focusable element shows a clearly visible focus ring (three-pixel outline with two-pixel offset) in a brand color that meets contrast requirements on the backgrounds it appears on.
  • Color contrast. Body text is rendered at a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background. Larger text and non-text UI elements meet 3:1 where applicable. Brand colors that fall below 4.5:1 on white (such as our cyan accent) are restricted to button backgrounds and decorative use, never to body-weight text.
  • Reduced motion. All animations and transitions respect the prefers-reduced-motion: reduce setting and collapse to instant state changes when the user has indicated that preference at the operating-system level.
  • Touch target size. Interactive controls measure at least 44 by 44 CSS pixels, meeting the WCAG 2.1 Target Size guideline for touch devices.
  • Responsive layout. Content reflows cleanly between 375 and 1440 CSS pixels and remains readable at 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling.
  • Form accessibility. Form inputs use programmatic labels, error messages are announced to assistive technology, and required-field status is communicated in text — not only by color.
  • Image alternatives. Decorative imagery is marked as such with empty alt attributes; meaningful images carry descriptive alternative text.
  • Single readable typeface. The Site uses one accessible sans-serif family (DM Sans) at a minimum 16-pixel body size on mobile to reduce reading load.

Compatibility

The Site is designed to work with modern versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on desktop and mobile, and is intended to be compatible with mainstream assistive technology, including VoiceOver (macOS and iOS), NVDA and JAWS (Windows), and TalkBack (Android). The Site requires JavaScript for some interactive features (the mobile menu and the lead form); core informational content remains readable and navigable without JavaScript.

Known Limitations

We track accessibility gaps openly. The following areas may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA, and we are working to improve them:

  • Third-party embeds. Our scheduling tool (Cal.com) and bot-protection challenge (Cloudflare Turnstile) are rendered by external providers. We monitor accessibility improvements published by those vendors and will update integrations as they ship.
  • Resource documents. Some downloadable PDFs and guides predate our current accessibility standard and may not be fully tagged for screen readers. Newly published documents are produced with accessible tagging; older documents are being remediated on a rolling basis. If you need an accessible version of a specific document, contact us and we will provide one within five business days.
  • Decorative hero imagery. Hero photography on landing pages is marked as decorative because the page heading already communicates the same information. If you experience this as a gap, please let us know.
  • External product surfaces. Products linked from this Site (such as Med-Audita) have their own accessibility statements and are not covered by this statement.

How We Maintain Accessibility

Accessibility is enforced through the design system that every page and component is built from. Design tokens for color, focus, motion, spacing, and touch target size are centralized so that a change made in one place propagates everywhere. New components are reviewed against an accessibility checklist before merge, which includes keyboard-only navigation, screen-reader announcement, contrast verification, focus visibility, and responsive behavior at standard breakpoints. We do not currently engage a paid external auditor. As the Site grows, we expect to add a formal third-party audit cycle.

Feedback

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of medcorestrategies.com. If you encounter content that is difficult to use, a feature that does not work with your assistive technology, or anything else that does not meet your access needs, please contact us:

  • Email: hello@medcorestrategies.com with the subject line “Accessibility”
  • Helpful details to include (if you can): the page URL, the assistive technology and browser you were using, and a brief description of what happened

We aim to respond to accessibility reports within two business days and to provide an accessible alternative or a fix within ten business days for clearly remediable issues. Larger structural improvements are tracked in our release notes.

Formal Complaints

If you believe you have not received a satisfactory response to an accessibility concern, you can escalate through the appropriate jurisdiction:

  • United States. File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) at ada.gov/file-a-complaint.
  • European Union. Refer to the accessibility enforcement body designated in your member state under the Web Accessibility Directive.
  • United Kingdom. Contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) at equalityadvisoryservice.com.
