Accessibility

Accessibility Statement

Ohio SBDC at Ashland University is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people who use assistive technology. Last reviewed 2026-09-05.
Our commitment

Commitment to accessibility

We want every visitor to be able to find what they need on this site, whatever device, browser, or assistive technology they use. Accessibility is part of how the site is built and reviewed, not a bolt-on.
Standard

Conformance status

This site aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. It is partially conformant: most of the site meets the standard, and the exceptions we know about are listed below. We do not claim full conformance, because parts of the site have not been tested against every success criterion.
We assess the site by self-evaluation with axe-core plus manual keyboard and screen-reader testing, and we take the Americans with Disabilities Act as the applicable legal framework.
Known issues

Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some content may not yet be fully accessible:
The success-story video captions are machine-generated drafts pending review.

What we do

Measures we take

Steps we take to keep the site accessible:
Semantic HTML with one page heading and a logical heading order.
Text and interface colors checked against the contrast minimums.
Every interactive control reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus style.
Alternative text on images that carry meaning; decorative images marked as such.
Automated accessibility testing on every build, plus manual keyboard checks before launch.
Motion and animation kept minimal and reduced for visitors whose systems ask for that.
This statement was last reviewed on 2026-09-05. We review it at least once a year and whenever the site changes substantially.
