Accessibility.
We want everyone to be able to use this site, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard, screen magnification or voice control.
What we aim for.
This site aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, which includes everything in WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
How we built it.
- Every page works with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus ring.
- Text and buttons meet contrast ratios.
- Images have text descriptions; decorative ones are hidden from screen readers.
- Every form field has a label and a clear error message.
- Text can be zoomed to 200% without breaking, and nothing scrolls sideways on a screen 320 pixels wide.
- If your device asks for reduced motion, the moving water and animations stay still.
- Everything works with JavaScript off.
What we're still working on.
We checked every page with a keyboard alone (the menu, the symptom picker, the water and pipe pickers, the questions and the quote form) and read each page the way a screen reader receives it, in Chrome. We haven't yet tested with VoiceOver, NVDA or TalkBack themselves; we plan to before [launch date].
On phones, the row of promises under the first screen scrolls sideways: with a keyboard, tab to it and use the arrow keys.
The drawings on the service pages move as you scroll only in browsers that support it; in others they appear finished. Everything they show is also said in the text beside them.
If you find anything else, please tell us.
If something doesn't work for you.
Call [phone] or email [email]. Tell us the page and what happened. We'll reply within [time] and help you get what you need, by phone if that's easier.

Rootwater Plumbing Co. is a made-up business; this statement shows what a real one would say.
