Accessibility Statement

Local Living Real Estate targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance across every page of this website. We review the site at least quarterly and remediate reported accessibility issues within 30 days. If you encounter a barrier, email keepingitrealnwa@gmail.com or call (479) 737-4422 and we will address it.

Our standard

We aim for conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. This is the standard recommended by the U.S. Department of Justice for ADA Title III website compliance and the benchmark most commonly referenced in fair housing access cases.

What we do

• Semantic HTML structure with proper heading levels, landmarks, and skip links.
• Descriptive alt text on all content images.
• Keyboard accessible navigation including the main menu, property filters, and all form fields.
• Color contrast ratios tested against the 4.5:1 AA threshold for body text and 3:1 for large text and interactive elements.
• Form fields paired with proper label elements and error messages announced to assistive technology.
• Focus indicators visible on every interactive element.
• Reduced motion respected when the operating system sets `prefers-reduced-motion`.

Known issues

We take accessibility seriously enough to publish a specific list of known gaps rather than a generic promise. As of 2026-04-19:

• Video content: none currently. When video is added, it will include captions and a transcript.
• Future MLS integration: once a real MLS IDX feed replaces the current listing template, we will re-audit listing pages end to end and publish the result here.

Resolved issues

Remediations closed inside our 30-day commitment are listed here with before and after context.

Property listing page placeholder template

Reported: 2026-04-19 (initial accessibility statement, v2.2 compliance review)
Resolved: 2026-04-19
What changed: Production-grade template published at /templates/property-detail.html with question-based H2s, answer capsules, semantic property feature table with caption and scoped headers, keyboard-navigable gallery with focus-trapped lightbox, <picture> elements with WebP plus JPEG fallback, labeled form fields with a honeypot, explicit consent language, an opt-in marketing checkbox, and role="alert" error container. First live listing deployed at /listings/1724-madison-5310-witter-ar/ with verifiable fields only, unverified fields marked as visible field-pending placeholders, and noindex, follow until Laycee confirms MLS-specific data. See deploy-notes/laycee-property-detail-template-inventory.md.

Placeholder SVG artwork on /pages/areas.html

Reported: 2026-04-10 (pre-v2.2 audit baseline)
Resolved: 2026-04-19
What changed: The v2.2 rebuild of /pages/areas.html removed all placeholder SVG schematics. Current content is text only with semantic headings and a cited county comparison table (added 2026-04-19). No decorative SVGs remain. Only the shared site logo image element is present, with a meaningful alt attribute. See deploy-notes/laycee-areas-svg-inventory.md.

Third party content

Parts of the site rely on third party services (Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and future MLS IDX integration). We work within the accessibility features those providers offer but cannot guarantee their output will meet the same standard as our original content. Known third party gaps will be listed here as they are identified.
