- Commitment to Accessibility
Winford Harter Consulting LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to providing digital experiences that are accessible and usable by all individuals, including people with disabilities.
We aim to comply with applicable accessibility laws and standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and WCAG 2.2 Level AA, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Our mission is to ensure that all visitors have equal access to information, tools, and services, regardless of ability, device, or technology.
- Measures to Support Accessibility
To achieve and maintain accessibility across our digital properties, we have implemented the following measures:
- Integration of accessibility best practices into the design, UX, and code development process
- Regular manual and automated audits using tools such as WAVE, axe DevTools, and Lighthouse Accessibility
- Use of semantic HTML5 and proper heading hierarchy
- Implementation of ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes where necessary
- Verification of color contrast ratios and focus indicators meeting WCAG 2.1 AA thresholds
- Support for keyboard-only navigation and screen-reader compatibility
- Compatibility testing with major assistive technologies (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
- Responsive layouts ensuring consistent accessibility across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
- Alternative text for images, transcripts for audio/video, and captioning for multimedia where feasible
- Staff training and awareness programs on inclusive design and accessible content publishing
Accessibility is built into our workflow, not treated as an afterthought.
- Ongoing Efforts and Continuous Improvement
We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing journey, not a one-time project.
We continuously monitor our website and digital materials to identify and correct accessibility barriers as technologies evolve.
Our ongoing efforts include:
- Annual and quarterly accessibility reviews
- Remediation of newly identified issues within 30–60 days of detection
- Updating our accessibility roadmap in alignment with WCAG 2.2 and W3C Accessibility Guidelines Working Drafts
- Including accessibility compliance checkpoints in all redesigns or feature rollouts
We welcome user feedback as a vital part of this continuous improvement process.

We follow W3C’s WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices and design for interoperability with assistive software and operating-system accessibility settings.
- Accessibility of Documents and Multimedia

This team is responsible for:
- Monitoring and auditing accessibility performance
