Built to be used by everyone.
Horizon is committed to making this website accessible to every visitor — including those who navigate by keyboard, by screen reader, by switch control, or with reduced motion. We aim for WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across every page, and we treat accessibility as a continuous discipline rather than a one-time audit.
The features in place today.
Keyboard-navigable throughout — every interactive element is reachable with Tab, Shift+Tab, and Enter/Space.
Screen-reader-friendly semantic HTML, with ARIA labels where the semantics need clarification.
Color contrast meeting WCAG AA on every line of text — measured, not estimated.
In-page accessibility widget for font scaling at four steps (0.85x, 1x, 1.15x, 1.3x).
High-contrast mode toggle for users who need a stronger visual baseline.
Reduced-motion support — animations respect the `prefers-reduced-motion` media query and degrade gracefully.
Skip-to-main-content link as the first focusable element on every page.
Alt text on every image, written for the screen-reader user, not for SEO. [PLACEHOLDER:client-photo — alt text on photography awaiting final client-delivered images.]
WCAG 2.1 Level AA · Targeted
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, published by the World Wide Web Consortium, define three levels of conformance — A, AA, and AAA. We target Level AA across the entire site. Where a Level AAA criterion is reasonably achievable, we adopt it as well.
The stack we build on.
Accessibility is a discipline, not a destination.
The web is a living medium. Browsers, assistive technologies, and the WCAG specification itself evolve in parallel. A site that conforms to AA today can drift out of conformance tomorrow if it is not maintained — a new image without alt text, a contrast ratio loosened in a design refresh, an interactive element added without keyboard support. We treat this as ongoing work.
Every change we publish is reviewed against the WCAG 2.1 AA checklist before deployment. We periodically audit the site with automated tools and with screen-reader walkthroughs. When we hear from a visitor that something is not working — through the feedback channel below — we treat it the same way we treat a rug that arrives needing repair: with the same hand, the same care, and the same standard.
Tell us what we can do better.
If something on this site is not working for you, or if a barrier you have encountered is not addressed by the accessibility widget, please reach out. We respond to every accessibility inquiry by hand and act on the feedback we receive.
