The short version

Our commitment
Cole Wilson Realty wants this website to work for everyone. That includes people who use screen readers or other assistive technology, people who navigate by keyboard, people who need larger text or stronger contrast, and people on small screens or slow connections. Accessibility is part of how the site is built and maintained, not an add-on.
The standard we build to
The site is designed to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, which also covers WCAG 2.1 Level AA. These are the guidelines that courts, regulators and accessibility professionals in the United States generally use to judge whether a website is accessible.
What's in place
- Keyboard access. Everything on the site, including the menu and the contact form, can be reached and used with a keyboard.
- Visible focus. A clear outline shows which element has keyboard focus.
- A skip link. The first Tab press on every page reveals a "Skip to content" link.
- Labels and names. Every form field has a visible label, and every button and control has a name that assistive technology can read.
- Color and contrast. Text and controls meet the AA contrast ratios, and color is never the only way information is shown.
- Text that scales. The site stays usable at 200% zoom and reflows on phones without sideways scrolling.
- Reduced motion. If your device asks for less motion, the site turns off its animations.
- No autoplay, no flashing. There's no video, audio or flashing content.
- Structure. Pages use real headings, landmarks and lists so screen readers can move around them.
- Plain language. The site, including these policies, is written in short sentences and everyday words.
Known limitations
- The contact form's spam check (Cloudflare Turnstile) usually runs without you doing anything, but it can sometimes ask you to tick a box. If it gets in your way, call us instead.
- Documents and pages we link to, such as New York State notices (some are PDF files), property search sites and the brokerage's website, are run by others and may not meet the same standard. If you can't use one, ask us and we'll get you the information another way.
When we find a problem, we fix it. If you find one before we do, we'd like to hear about it.

Technical details
The site is built with standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript and tested in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge, on desktop and on phones. The contact form's spam check needs JavaScript; the rest of the site works without it. This statement was prepared by Insight, who built and maintain the site, and is reviewed whenever the site changes.
