Basha Law, PLLC is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including users with disabilities. We design and maintain this website with accessibility in mind and continually improve it to meet or exceed applicable accessibility standards.
1. Standards
Our website is designed to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium. These guidelines are the internationally recognized standard for accessible web content and are the basis for accessibility regulation in many jurisdictions.
2. Ongoing Efforts
Specific measures we have taken to make this website accessible include:
- Semantic HTML that reflects the meaning and hierarchy of the content
- Clear heading structure that supports screen reader navigation
- Descriptive alternative text for informative images
- Sufficient color contrast between text and background
- Full keyboard accessibility of all interactive elements
- Visible focus indicators for keyboard users
- Aria attributes on custom interactive components (mobile menu, language switcher, FAQ accordion, testimonial carousel)
- Support for the user's preference for reduced motion
- Skip-to-content link at the top of every page
- Responsive layout that supports resizing and reflow at every screen width
- Language switcher supporting 25 languages via translation of the entire page
3. Known Limitations
Despite our efforts to make the entire website accessible, some areas may not yet fully conform. Known limitations include:
- Content translated through the language switcher relies on Google Translate, which is a third-party service. The accuracy and formatting of translated content are outside the Firm's direct control.
- The scheduling tool embedded from Calendly and the payment portal at LawPay are third-party services with their own accessibility characteristics. If you encounter a barrier at either service, please contact the Firm directly and we will complete the intended action on your behalf.
- Some PDF documents linked from the website may not have been fully remediated for screen reader use. If you encounter a PDF that is not accessible, please contact us and we will provide an accessible alternative.
4. Assistive Technology
This website is designed to be usable with common screen readers (VoiceOver on Apple devices, TalkBack on Android, NVDA and JAWS on Windows), voice-recognition software, and keyboard-only navigation. If you use a specific assistive technology that is not working well with the website, please let us know so we can address it.
