Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Acre Dreams is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to make our website inclusive and usable.

Standard Targeted

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. WCAG 2.2 is the current international standard for web accessibility and defines how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities.

Conformance Status

Partially conformant. We have implemented the following accessibility measures across the site:

  • Skip-to-content link on every page
  • Screen reader route change announcements and focus management for client-side navigation
  • Semantic HTML landmarks (<main>, <nav>, <header>, <footer>) on all pages
  • Labeled form inputs with associated error messages
  • Keyboard-accessible interactive elements (gallery, modals, carousels)
  • Visible focus indicators meeting 3:1 contrast ratio
  • Respects prefers-reduced-motion user preference for CSS and JS animations
  • Text alternatives for all meaningful images
  • Color contrast meeting 4.5:1 ratio for normal text
  • ARIA attributes on custom controls (radio groups, checkboxes, dialogs)
  • Current page indicated in navigation (aria-current)
  • Zoom supported up to 500% without loss of functionality

WCAG 2.2 Specific Measures

  • 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (AA): CSS scroll-padding-top ensures focused elements are never hidden behind the sticky header. Mobile bottom navigation is also accounted for with scroll-padding-bottom.
  • 2.5.8 Target Size (AA): All interactive controls meet the 24×24 CSS pixel minimum target size. Icon-only buttons use padding to enlarge the hit area.
  • 3.2.6 Consistent Help (A): Help and contact mechanisms appear in a consistent location across all pages via the site footer and the main navigation Contact link.
  • 3.3.7 Redundant Entry (A): Our forms do not require users to re-enter information already provided in the same session.
  • 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (AA): Acre Dreams does not require user accounts or login. The Cloudflare Turnstile challenge used on forms is a non-cognitive verification mechanism.

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, some areas may not yet be fully accessible:

  • Interactive map: The Mapbox-powered property map may not be fully keyboard navigable or screen reader accessible. All map content is also available through the standard property list and search.
  • Third-party content: Some embedded third-party services (Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA) may not be fully accessible. We use these services for security and are working with providers on improvements.
  • User-submitted content: Property descriptions and images uploaded by sellers may not meet all accessibility standards.

Technical Approach

Accessibility at Acre Dreams is achieved through a combination of semantic HTML, WAI-ARIA attributes, CSS media queries for user preferences, automated testing with eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y and axe-core, and manual keyboard and screen reader testing.

Compatibility

Acre Dreams is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS) with current versions of Safari, Chrome, and Firefox
  • Voice control software (Voice Control on macOS/iOS, Dragon NaturallySpeaking)
  • Screen magnification tools and browser zoom up to 500%
  • Operating system high-contrast and forced-colors modes

Assessment

This statement was last reviewed on August 25, 2026. Accessibility is assessed through self-evaluation using automated tools (axe-core with full WCAG 2.2 AA rule coverage, eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y) and manual testing with keyboard navigation and screen reader software. This statement aligns with the EN 301 549 requirements for the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
