Accessibility Statement.
Our commitment
Polar Tint is committed to making polartint.com and its location subdomains accessible to all visitors, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across the network.
What we’ve done
- Semantic HTML — proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions (header, main, footer), and descriptive link text.
- Keyboard navigation — every interactive element (links, buttons, form fields, dropdowns) is reachable and operable with a keyboard alone.
- Skip-to-content links — every page has a "Skip to content" link at the top for screen reader and keyboard users.
- Image alt text — every meaningful image carries descriptive alt text. Decorative images are marked as such for screen readers.
- Color contrast — all body text meets WCAG 4.5:1 contrast minimum. Headings and large text meet 3:1 minimum.
- Forms — every form field has a visible label and clear error messages.
- Focus indicators — visible focus states on every interactive element.
- Responsive design — the site works at 320px width minimum (small mobile) and zoom to 200% without horizontal scrolling.
- Screen reader testing — pre-launch testing with VoiceOver (macOS) and NVDA (Windows).
Known limitations
- Third-party chat receptionist — the chat receptionist widget embedded on location subdomains has its own accessibility characteristics outside our direct control. We’ve verified keyboard operability and ARIA labels.
- Embedded Google Maps — map embeds inherit Google’s accessibility features.
Reporting accessibility issues
If you encounter an accessibility barrier on polartint.com or any Polar Tint location subdomain, please contact your nearest Polar Tint location through its location subdomain. We treat accessibility reports as a priority and respond within 5 business days.
Ongoing commitment
We audit accessibility on every major site update, and we welcome feedback. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time fix.
