Accessibility Statement

Nathan Rafter Incorporated is committed to inclusivity online. This outlines efforts to make nathanrafter.com more accessible for all visitors, including people who use assistive technologies. These accessibility basics also help everyone by reducing friction through clear labels, predictable navigation, and readable layouts.

Why Is Online Accessibility So Important?

Accessibility helps people with disabilities, people using assistive technologies, and people dealing with situational or temporary limitations (like a broken arm, low bandwidth, glare on a screen, or aging eyesight). When a website blocks keyboard navigation, screen reader users, low-vision users, or people who need captions, it can prevent someone from completing important steps. The aim is to reduce these barriers.

Conformance Status

As of Wednesday, December 31, 2025, core website pages have been tested against WCAG 2.1 Level AA using automated checks and manual testing (including keyboard-only navigation and basic screen reader testing). Some pages include third-party tools or external content that cannot be fully controlled, so those third-party components may not fully conform.

Available Support

If you experience any accessibility barrier: hi@nathanrafter.com (Opens In Email App) or call (518) 424‐0439 (Opens Phone Dialer). Please include the webpage URL and what you were trying to do. Expect a response within 2 business days and an accessible alternative when needed.

Measures To Support Accessibility

Accessibility is foundational to the online approach and website operations at Nathan Rafter Incorporated. hi@nathanrafter.com (Opens In Email App) is the appointed accessibility contact. Accessibility standards are reviewed with each website update.

Accessibility Targets

The following baseline targets are maintained for this website:

  1. Google Lighthouse / PageSpeed Insights Accessibility score: 75+ minimum sitewide, with 100 targeted on core pages. Google Lighthouse is an automated diagnostic check and does not, by itself, determine WCAG conformance. It is used as a minimum automated check, and some pages may score lower due to third-party embedded content that cannot be fully controlled.
  2. No critical issues detected in axe DevTools and WAVE scans.
  3. Core user tasks remain keyboard accessible (including menus, links, forms, and key actions).
  4. HTML and CSS remain valid using the Nu HTML Checker and the W3C CSS Validator.

Assessment Approach

This website's accessibility has been assessed using:

  1. accessScan by accessiBe (used during development).
  2. WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool.
  3. Google Lighthouse / PageSpeed Insights.
  4. axe DevTools.
  5. Nu Html Checker by W3C.
  6. W3C CSS Validation Service.
  7. JSONLint JSON Validation Service.
  8. Manual screen reader and keyboard-only testing.
