Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment

SF Marketing Agency, operated by Stan Consulting LLC, is committed to making sfmarketing.agency accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We believe that access to information about our services should not depend on a visitor's physical or cognitive abilities, the assistive technology they use, or the browser or device they are on.

We aim for conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), define how to make web content more accessible to people with a range of disabilities including visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

2. Measures We Have Taken

The following measures have been implemented across sfmarketing.agency to support accessibility:

• Semantic HTML5 structure. All pages use semantic HTML5 elements including nav, main, footer, section, article, and h1 through h6 in logical hierarchy. This structure is readable by screen readers and other assistive technologies.
• Descriptive alt text on all images. Every image on the site has an alt attribute. Images that convey information have descriptive alt text. Decorative images use empty alt attributes so screen readers skip them.
• Color contrast. Body text against background colors meets the WCAG 2.1 Level AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1. Large-text elements (headings at 18pt or bold 14pt and above) meet the 3:1 minimum. The primary brand blue (#1E5EFF) on white (#FFFFFF) and our dark background (#0A0A0A) text combinations have been selected with contrast ratios in mind.
• Keyboard navigability. All interactive elements, including navigation links, call-to-action buttons, form fields, and footer links, are reachable and operable via keyboard. Tab order follows the logical reading order of the page. No keyboard traps exist on any page.
• Visible focus states. All interactive elements display a visible focus indicator when navigated to via keyboard. Focus styles have not been suppressed or overridden to invisible states.
• Responsive design. All pages are fully responsive and functional at viewport widths from 320px (small mobile) through 2560px (large desktop). Content reflows appropriately at all sizes. No horizontal scrolling is required on any device at standard zoom levels.
• No flashing content. This site contains no content that flashes, blinks, or strobes more than three times per second. WCAG Success Criterion 2.3.1 (Three Flashes or Below Threshold) is met.
• Reduced motion support. All animation and motion effects on this site are controlled via CSS and JavaScript that respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query. Users who have enabled the reduced motion setting in their operating system or browser will experience no animation, scroll-triggered reveals, parallax effects, or transition effects. The site is fully navigable and all content is accessible with motion disabled.
• Language declaration. Every page declares lang="en" on the html element so screen readers apply correct pronunciation and language rules.
• Descriptive link text. Links use descriptive text that communicates the destination or purpose of the link without requiring surrounding context. Generic link text such as "click here" or "read more" is avoided.
• Form labels. Contact form fields are associated with visible labels. Required fields are indicated. Error states are communicated through text, not color alone.

3. Known Limitations

We are transparent about limitations we are aware of:

• Third-party font loading. Web fonts (Inter, Fraunces, JetBrains Mono) are loaded from Google's CDN at fonts.googleapis.com. On slow connections, there may be a brief period where text renders in a fallback system font before the custom fonts load. This is a performance consideration for users on slow connections. The site remains fully readable during this period as appropriate fallback fonts are specified.
• No formal third-party audit. This site has not undergone a formal third-party accessibility audit by a certified accessibility specialist. Our conformance claim is based on internal review and design implementation practices, not an independent audit. We may have missed issues.
• No video content requiring captions. This site currently contains no video content. If video is added in the future, we will provide captions and audio description as required by WCAG 2.1 Level AA Success Criteria 1.2.2 and 1.2.5.
• CSS-driven animations. Scroll-triggered reveal animations are implemented in vanilla JavaScript. While these respect prefers-reduced-motion, users with JavaScript disabled will see all content in its final visible state without transition effects, which is the correct accessible fallback behavior.

4. Technical Specifications

sfmarketing.agency is built with:

• Standard HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript. No frameworks or libraries.
• Static site hosting on Cloudflare Pages. No server-side rendering dependencies.
• No Flash, ActiveX, or other legacy plugin-dependent content.
• No CAPTCHA on contact forms that would create accessibility barriers. Web3Forms handles spam filtering without requiring visual or audio CAPTCHAs on the visitor-facing form.

We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We reference the Web Accessibility Initiative's resources at w3.org/WAI for guidance. We test pages manually with keyboard navigation and review them against WCAG criteria during development.

5. Supported Environments

sfmarketing.agency is designed to work in current versions of major browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and their mobile equivalents. The site is intended to be compatible with common screen readers including NVDA and JAWS on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, and TalkBack on Android. We do not guarantee compatibility with legacy browsers (Internet Explorer) or browser versions more than two major versions behind current release.

6. Feedback and Contact

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on sfmarketing.agency, we want to know about it. Feedback from users with disabilities is the most valuable signal we have for identifying real-world issues that internal review misses.

To report an accessibility issue, submit the contact form at sfmarketing.agency/contact/. Please describe the barrier you encountered, the page where it occurred, the browser and assistive technology you were using, and how it affected your ability to use the page. We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days.

If the barrier prevents you from completing the contact form, and you need an accommodation to access information or services described on this site, describe the issue as best you can and we will work to find an alternative way to provide the information you need.

7. Enforcement and External Resources

If you are not satisfied with our response to your accessibility feedback, you can escalate to external bodies. In the United States, the Department of Justice enforces the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as it applies to web accessibility. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) at the W3C provides free resources for understanding your rights and the standards that apply at w3.org/WAI.

For EU and EEA users, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and EN 301 549 standard apply. EU member state enforcement bodies handle complaints under national transpositions of these directives.

8. Updates to This Statement

We review and update this accessibility statement when we make significant changes to the site's design or codebase, when we identify new accessibility issues, or when applicable standards are updated. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We are committed to continuous improvement of accessibility on this site.
