Henry Hire is committed to making our website, henryhire.com, as accessible as possible for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online experience that allows everyone to easily access our job board and related services.
Standards and Guidelines
We are actively working towards conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These internationally recognized guidelines provide recommendations for making web content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities.
Accessibility Features
We are implementing and continuously improving various accessibility features on our website, including:
- Alternative Text for Images (Alt Text): We are working to provide descriptive alt text for images, conveying their meaning to users who rely on screen readers.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone, allowing users who cannot use a mouse to access all interactive elements.
- Heading Structure: We utilize a clear and consistent heading structure (H1-H6) to organize content, making it easier for screen reader users to understand the page layout and navigate efficiently.
- Color Contrast: We strive to maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background elements, adhering to WCAG guidelines for readability.
- Resizable Text: Users can adjust the text size using their browser settings without negatively impacting the website’s functionality or layout.
- Descriptive Link Text: We aim to use descriptive link text that clearly indicates the destination of each link, avoiding generic phrases like “click here.”
- Form Accessibility: Our forms are being designed with accessibility in mind, including clear labels, instructions, and error messages that are understandable by screen readers.
- ARIA Attributes: Where appropriate, we use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements for assistive technologies.
- Skip Navigation Links: We provide “Skip to Main Content” links at the top of pages to allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation menus and quickly access the main content.
- Multiple Display Modes: Users can choose between light and dark mode to improve their visual experience and reduce eye strain.
- Performance Optimization: We are implementing code optimizations to reduce animations and styling for users with slower devices or networks, promoting a smoother browsing experience.
- Clear External Redirects: We are implementing a system for clearly marking links that will take you off our website.
- Local Storage Remembers Accessibility: We use local storage to remember a user’s accessibility preferences.
Ongoing Efforts and Limitations
We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website. As a small organization, we are implementing these features site-wide in stages. Therefore, some pages or sections may not yet fully reflect all of the features listed above. We appreciate your patience as we continue this process. Because we use third-party tools such as WordPress and plugins, we cannot always guarantee their accessibility.
