Accessibility
We make signs that help people find their way, including the tactile and Braille signage buildings are required to have. It would be a poor showing if our own website were hard to use, so we work at it.
What we aim for
We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That is the international standard most commonly used to judge whether a website is accessible. It covers being able to use the whole site with a keyboard instead of a mouse, having real descriptions of images for people using screen readers, and keeping text readable against its background.
Where we stand
This site was reviewed and tested against WCAG 2.1 Level AA on 18 September 2026, across every page on this site. We believe it now conforms on the criteria listed below.
We are not claiming any kind of certification. There is no such thing as an ADA certified website: no binding technical standard has been adopted for private businesses, and WCAG is the benchmark courts actually use. What we can tell you is what we tested, on what date, and what we found.
What the review changed:
- The whole site, including the menu on a phone, can now be used with a keyboard alone. Before this it could not be opened without a mouse at all.
- Every photograph of our work now carries a real description, so it makes sense read aloud. Before this, 131 images read out as a file name.
- A “skip to main content” link is now the first thing a keyboard user reaches on every page.
- It is now clearly visible which item on the page your keyboard is on.
- Every page now has a real main heading, and the regions of the page are marked up so a screen reader can jump between them. Before this, no page had one.
- Links that said only “read more” now say what they lead to.
- Four places where pale text sat on our teal, or a red asterisk sat on near black, were too faint to pass and have been darkened.
The criteria we tested
WCAG 2.1, checked on 18 September 2026:
- 1.1.1 Non-text Content
- 1.3.1 Info and Relationships
- 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)
- 1.4.4 Resize Text
- 1.4.10 Reflow
- 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast
- 2.1.1 Keyboard
- 2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap
- 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks
- 2.4.2 Page Titled
- 2.4.3 Focus Order
- 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context)
- 2.4.6 Headings and Labels
- 2.4.7 Focus Visible
- 3.1.1 Language of Page
- 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
Where we know we fall short
Stating a known gap is more use to you than a silent one.
- On most pages the headings run from the main heading straight to the third level, skipping the second. A screen reader can still move through the page by heading and the order is correct; the numbering is not strictly sequential. Closing it would mean changing how the pages look, so we have left it and said so here instead.
- Five “read more” links, on three of our service pages, sit in cards that have no text in them at all, so there is nothing for the link to describe. We know about it and it is on our list.
This does not stay fixed on its own
Accessibility is not a box you tick once. The next photograph we upload without a description puts us back where we started on that point, and the same is true of any new page. We re-check the site, and if you find something before we do, we would rather hear it from you.
Tell us if something does not work
If any part of this site is difficult for you to use, we want to know, and we will fix it.
Email allwayssignsfl@gmail.com or call (954) 715-1265. Tell us which page you were on and what happened. We will reply. If the fix is going to take us a while, we will say so, and give you what you needed another way in the meantime.
