Our Commitment
Texas Gut Health is committed to ensuring that our website, texasgut.com, is accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to provide a positive online experience for every visitor, regardless of ability, and are continually working to improve the accessibility and usability of our website in alignment with relevant standards and guidelines.
Accessibility Standards
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines are widely accepted as the international standard for web accessibility and provide criteria for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
Measures We Take
Texas Gut Health takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:
- Semantic HTML — We use proper HTML elements and structure to ensure content is logically organized and can be interpreted correctly by assistive technologies such as screen readers.
- Keyboard navigation — All interactive elements on our website, including navigation menus, links, buttons, and form controls, are accessible via keyboard navigation. Users can tab through the page, activate links and buttons with Enter or Space, and navigate without requiring a mouse.
- Skip navigation — A “Skip to main content” link is provided at the top of every page to allow keyboard and screen reader users to bypass repetitive navigation elements and go directly to the page's main content.
- Alternative text — All meaningful images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt attributes) so that users who cannot see images can understand their content and purpose through screen readers.
- ARIA landmarks and roles — We use Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) landmarks and roles to identify regions of the page (banner, navigation, main content, footer) and interactive elements (menus, expanded/collapsed states) for assistive technologies.
- Color contrast — We design our pages with sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background colors to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements, ensuring readability for users with low vision or color vision deficiencies.
- Focus indicators — Visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements so that keyboard users can clearly see which element is currently focused.
- Responsive design — Our website is designed to be fully functional and readable across a range of devices, screen sizes, and zoom levels, including support for text resizing up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
- Clear language — We write our content in clear, plain language at a reading level accessible to a broad audience. Medical terminology is accompanied by plain-language explanations when used.
- Form accessibility — Contact forms and interactive elements include associated labels, clear instructions, and meaningful error messages to assist all users in completing tasks successfully.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA, we acknowledge that some areas of the website may not yet fully meet every criterion. Known limitations include:
- Third-party content — Some embedded third-party content (such as Google Maps) may not be fully accessible. We work with third-party providers to improve accessibility where possible and provide alternative ways to access the same information (such as a text-based address and directions).
- PDF documents — Some PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen readers. If you need assistance accessing information in a PDF document, please contact our office directly.
We are actively working to identify and address these issues and are committed to ongoing improvement.
Compatibility with Assistive Technology
Our website is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:
- Screen readers (such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack)
- Screen magnification software
- Speech recognition software (such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking)
- Keyboard-only navigation
- Operating system accessibility features (high contrast mode, reduced motion, text scaling)
