What the site does
- Readable contrast. Body text is light gray on near-black at 11.9 to 1, and headings are brighter still at 17.7 to 1. The smallest gray text measures 6.3 to 1 on the page background. The yellow buttons carry dark text at 14.8 to 1. WCAG AA asks for 4.5 to 1.
- Keyboard use. The first thing a keyboard user reaches on every page is a “Skip to the page” link. The menus, the dropdowns, and every link and button work with Tab, Enter, and Space, and Escape closes an open menu. A 2-pixel yellow outline shows where focus is.
- Text descriptions of photos. Each job photo has alt text saying what it shows. Decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers, and the embedded Google Maps carry titles that name the listing.
- Readable type. Body text starts at 17 pixels with generous line spacing. It grows with your browser’s text size and zoom, and the layout stacks into a single column on a phone instead of shrinking.
- Clear structure. Each page has one main heading with the section headings in order beneath it, its own page title, and a language set in the page code. Links say where they go.
- Phone and text links. The phone number is a link that dials on a phone, and the text link opens your messages app addressed to the same number.
- A Spanish page. Soldadura móvil en español is marked as Spanish in its code, so a screen reader switches to Spanish pronunciation.
Motion on the site
The site’s motion plays for every visitor, including people whose phone or computer is set to reduce motion. That is the owner’s decision, and it means the site does not follow the reduced-motion setting.
Several things keep the pages usable around it:
- All text, links, and buttons sit in the page itself and show even if the site’s script never loads.
- Sections fade in and slide up about 20 pixels in under a second as they scroll into view, then stay still. Nothing moves while you read it.
- No video or audio plays on its own.
- The brightest effect, a flash of light on the homepage photo, plays once and never flashes more than three times in any second.
- Buttons lift a couple of pixels when you point at them. They never move away from the cursor or the finger.
One limit remains. A glowing tip on the weld line down the homepage margin and the arc light on the homepage photo keep pulsing while the page is open, and they have no pause button. Both are decoration, and no information depends on them.
Where the site falls short
- Embedded Google Maps. The maps in the page footers are Google’s own, and their accessibility is Google’s to maintain. Each listing’s address is printed in text beside its map, with a “View on Google Maps” link.
- Text inside photos. The job photos carry the Wildseed logo and phone number printed in the picture. The same number is in the page text.
- No contact form. Customers reach Chris by phone call or text message. If a voice call is hard for you, text (469) 679-4268 and describe the job.
- Testing so far. This statement rests on automated checks with axe-core and a read through the page code. A hands-on test with screen readers has not been done yet.
Report a problem
If part of this site doesn’t work for you, call or text (469) 679-4268. Tell Chris which page you were on, what you were trying to do, and what got in the way. Wildseed Specialty Mobile Welding will fix what it can and tell you how to get the same information another way in the meantime.
The phone number and the text number are the same, so you can reach the business without using the site at all.
