Our Commitment to Web Accessibility
GROWING ROOTS LLC does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its services, programs, or activities, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We are committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.
Our commitment to website accessibility is an ongoing process. Testing of our website is performed by using industry-standard tools such as the WAVE Accessibility Evaluation Tool, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, and other accessibility testing tools for:
- color contrast analyzers,
- proper heading hierarchy,
- proper use of image alt text,
- descriptive links,
- keyboard-only navigation techniques, and
- Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.
These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, the designs, code and content are checked against these standards. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information in an accessible format for all users, there is no guarantee or checklist that one can follow or automate to ensure one hundred percent (100%) accessibility of all features on this website, of third party websites to which we may link, or of WordPress plugins and themes used on this site. Code integrated into the WordPress core files targets WCAG 2.1 at level AA as the standard for development.
We welcome comments, questions, and feedback on our website and are open to making reasonable modifications to our policies and procedures to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy our services and online content. If you are using assistive technologies and are having difficulty using our website, please contact us at 1-866-480-9141. We will do our best to assist you and resolve issues.
