Accessibility Statement

For the Smith & Wilkinson website

Smith & Wilkinson is committed to providing a website that is accessible to everyone. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to Universal Design principles and version 2.1 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Smith & Wilkinson is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level A. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

WCAG is developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web. WCAG 2.1 applies broadly to various current and future Web technologies, and is testable with a combination of automated testing and human evaluation.

Compatibility with Browsers and Assistive Technology

The Smith & Wilkinson website is not compatible with:

  • Browsers older than 3 major versions
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer
  • Mobile operating systems older than 3 years

Accessibility of the Smith & Wilkinson website relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

  • HTML
  • WAI-ARIA
  • CSS
  • JavaScript

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Assessment Approach

We assess the accessibility of the Smith & Wilkinson website through ongoing research and external evaluations and implement accessibility improvements accordingly. We have employed experts proficient in accessible web design and development practices to conduct automated and manual testing methods. The last automated accessibility scan was performed using the ARC Analytics Platform on 09/21/2022.
