WeldCertTest is committed to ensuring weldcerttest.com is accessible to people with disabilities. Our customers include welders, foremen, fabricators, and QC personnel across a wide range of physical abilities, vision, hearing, and motor capabilities — and the site needs to work for all of them.
Our Commitment
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities including:
- Visual impairments — including low vision, color blindness, and full blindness
- Hearing impairments — including deafness and hearing loss
- Motor impairments — including limited fine motor control and inability to use a mouse
- Cognitive impairments — including reading and processing difficulties
Measures We Take
WeldCertTest is built with accessibility in mind from the ground up. Specifically:
Structure and Navigation
- Semantic HTML throughout — proper use of headings, landmarks, lists, and tables
- "Skip to main content" link on every page for keyboard and screen reader users
- Consistent navigation across all pages
- Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements
- All functionality available via keyboard alone
Visual Design
- High color contrast for text and important interface elements
- No reliance on color alone to convey information
- Text resizable up to 200% without breaking layout
- Responsive design that works on phones, tablets, and desktops
Content
- Descriptive alt text on all meaningful images
- Clear, plain language — we avoid unnecessary jargon
- Tables include proper headers and captions
- Link text is descriptive (no bare "click here" links)
- Forms include proper labels and instructions
Technical
- Valid, semantic HTML5
- ARIA attributes used where appropriate
- Compatible with major screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
- Compatible with browser zoom and text-only zoom
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, some content may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Known limitations include:
- Some older images may have non-ideal alt text — we are updating these as we audit pages
- Complex technical tables (such as the position coverage matrix) include all necessary information but may be challenging to navigate with some screen readers — we welcome feedback on improving these
If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this site, please report it. We treat accessibility issues as bugs — we want to fix them.
