Accessibility Statement
I want everyone to be able to find out what I do and get a written estimate, whatever device, settings or assistive technology they use.
This site is built and tested to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, the international standard for accessible websites.

What that means in practice
Structure
Every page has one main heading, and the headings under it run in order, so a screen reader's heading list reads like a table of contents. The page language is set to Canadian English, and a Skip to content link is the first thing the Tab key reaches.
Keyboard
Everything you can click, you can reach with the keyboard, and the control that has focus shows a clear outline. When the menu is open, focus stays inside it and returns to the menu button when it closes. The before-and-after photo sliders move with the arrow keys, and Home and End jump to either side.
Contrast and colour
Body text is at least 4.5 to 1 against its background in both light and dark mode, and I measured the text that sits over the plaster wall photo on the actual rendered page, line by line, against the lightest spot under each line. Colour is never the only signal: links inside paragraphs are underlined.
Light and dark
The site follows your device's light or dark setting on your first visit. You can switch it with the toggle, which lives in the menu on phones, and the site remembers your choice.
Tap targets
Buttons and links are at least 24 pixels in each direction, and the main buttons are larger than that. The photo sliders also work with a single tap: tap where you want the split instead of dragging.
Motion
Nothing on the site loops or plays on its own. Sections fade in briefly as you scroll, and the photo sliders sweep once when they come into view. If your device is set to reduce motion, the fades and the sweep are switched off and everything simply appears.
Zoom and text size
The pages reflow down to a 320 pixel wide screen and hold up with text enlarged, so you can zoom in without scrolling sideways to read.
The quote form
Every field has a visible label, required and optional fields are marked in words, and if something is missing the form tells you what in plain words before you move on. There is no puzzle or CAPTCHA to solve, and the form keeps your answers on this device if you step away before sending.
Images
Photos of real jobs describe the job in their alternative text. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers so they do not get in the way.
How I check it
Each page type runs through automated accessibility testing (axe) in light and dark mode at phone and desktop widths, and the text that sits over photos is measured on the rendered page rather than guessed from the design. The last full review was on September 23, 2026, with no failures found by those checks.
What I have not got to yet
Screen readers
I have tested the site with automated checks and by measuring contrast and layout, but I have not yet done a full pass with a screen reader such as NVDA or VoiceOver. If something reads out in a confusing way, please tell me.
Very narrow screens with large text
On a very narrow screen with text enlarged, the breadcrumb trail at the top of some pages and the neighbourhood table on the home page scroll sideways instead of wrapping. The content is all there; it takes a swipe.
Other companies' pages
Links to Google reviews, Google Maps and Facebook open pages I do not control, and their accessibility is up to those companies.
Tell me and I will fix it.
If any part of this site does not work for you, I want to know. Tell me the page and what happened, and I will fix it and let you know what changed. In the meantime you never need the website to get a quote: call or text 604-989-5032, or email brody@summit-handyman.ca, and I will take the job details that way and send the estimate in whatever format works for you.
