Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment

Inspired Reach Co. is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to our website and the websites we build for clients.

We recognize that accessibility is not a one-time fix — it requires ongoing attention. As a digital marketing agency that builds websites for Ontario businesses, we hold ourselves to the same AODA standards we deliver for our clients.

2. Applicable Standards

This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, and the requirements of Ontario's Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA), specifically the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (Ontario Regulation 191/11).

3. Accessibility Features of This Website

Navigation and Structure

• A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of every page for keyboard users
• Consistent navigation structure with ARIA landmark roles (banner, navigation, main, contentinfo)
• All pages have a descriptive <title> element and a logical heading hierarchy (h1 → h2 → h3)
• All interactive elements are reachable and operable by keyboard alone (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space)
• Visible focus indicators on all focusable elements (3px red outline)

Text and Readability

• Minimum colour contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for body text (WCAG AA)
• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality or content
• Line height minimum 1.5× for all body copy
• No text is conveyed exclusively through colour

Images and Media

• All meaningful images include descriptive alt text
• Decorative images use alt="" and aria-hidden="true"
• No content flashes more than 3 times per second (no seizure risk)
• No auto-playing audio or video with sound

Forms

• All form fields have associated <label> elements
• Required fields are marked with both visual and programmatic indicators
• Error messages are specific, descriptive, and delivered via aria-live
• Form inputs have autocomplete attributes to reduce cognitive load

Motion and Animation

• All animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query — if you've enabled reduced motion in your OS settings, animations on this site are suppressed
• No content auto-scrolls or loops in a way that cannot be paused

4. Known Limitations

While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, some areas of the website are still being improved:

• Some third-party embedded content (e.g., map iframes) may not fully conform — we review these as updates become available
• Complex animations in the hero section are suppressed under reduced-motion preferences, but some subtle effects may remain

We are actively working to address these limitations. If you encounter a specific barrier not listed here, please report it to us.
