Commitment
We want anyone to be able to use aquitucasa.com, with or without a disability, on any device. We work to the WCAG 2.2 standard, level AA, as our reference.
What we do
- Text with enough contrast, in the light theme and the dark one; color is never the only signal (charts carry their numbers as text).
- Everything works with a keyboard: menus, search, calculators, tables and maps. Focus is always visible. On a phone the menu opens as a window: focus moves into it and the Escape key closes it.
- You can choose the light or dark theme from the menu (on a phone) or with the button in the header (on large screens); if you do not choose, we follow your system’s preference. We respect the “reduce motion” preference.
- Text can be enlarged to twice its size with the browser’s zoom, and the page adapts to screens from 320 pixels wide without scrolling sideways.
- Every map and chart has a text or table alternative.
- Every page declares its language and has a Spanish and an English version.
- Every calculator announces its result to screen readers as one short sentence, after you finish typing, and says so when a field holds something that is not a number.
What we know is missing
- Maps are a visual aid; the full information is in the tables and the text.
- The agency documents we link to are not ours and may not be accessible.
- Some links inside the text and in long lists are still small to tap; we are enlarging them template by template.
How we test
We review every template with automated tools and with manual keyboard and screen-reader checks, in both languages and both themes, before publishing it and whenever it changes.
Tell us
If something on the site does not work with your screen reader, with the keyboard or on your phone, we want to know. We do not have an inbox yet; we are preparing a way to tell us from the site, and you will see it at the bottom of every page when it exists. It will never be a form that asks for your details: the page’s address, the device and the software you use (for example, VoiceOver on an iPhone) and what happened will be enough. We fix the template, not just that page, and every problem we find and fix is logged in the corrections log.
