Bootstrapper Toolbox’s Accessibility Statement

At Bootstrapper Toolbox, we believe everyone should have equal access to professional-grade calculators and planning tools. This accessibility statement outlines our ongoing commitment to making our website and tools usable for all visitors, regardless of ability or technology.

Our Commitment

We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards. Our goal is to ensure that Bootstrapper Toolbox is accessible to people with disabilities and provides a positive experience for all users, particularly contractors who rely on our tools for their businesses.

We work to maintain compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA standards, which help make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

Accessibility Features

We’ve implemented the following features to make our website and calculators more accessible:

  • Keyboard Navigation: All website functionality, including calculator inputs and controls, is available using only a keyboard
  • Screen Reader Compatibility: Our content and calculator interfaces are structured and tagged for optimal screen reader performance
  • Alternative Text: All images include descriptive alt text that conveys their meaning and context
  • Readable Fonts: We use legible fonts and appropriate font sizes throughout the site and in calculator interfaces
  • Color Contrast: Text and background colors meet WCAG AA standards for contrast ratios
  • Resizable Text: Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality or content
  • Consistent Navigation: Our site structure and navigation remain consistent throughout all pages
  • Clear Language: We use plain language and define technical terms in our content
  • Mobile Responsive: Our site and calculators work fully on various devices and screen sizes
  • Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML structure to support assistive technologies
  • Form Labels: All calculator inputs have clear, descriptive labels associated with them
  • Error Identification: Calculator validation errors are clearly identified and described

Calculator Accessibility

We’ve taken special care to ensure our calculators and tools are accessible:

  • Clear Input Labels: Every calculator field has a descriptive label that explains what information is needed
  • Input Validation: Clear error messages help users correct mistakes before calculating
  • Logical Tab Order: Calculator fields follow a logical sequence for keyboard navigation
  • Calculation Results: Results are clearly announced to screen readers when calculations complete
  • Unit Indicators: Measurement units are clearly labeled and associated with their input fields
  • Help Text: Additional context and instructions are available for complex calculations

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and provide a better user experience for everyone.

While we strive for full compliance, web accessibility is an ongoing process, and we continue to test and improve our site and calculator tools regularly.

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some limitations may exist:

  • User-Generated Content: Comments and user submissions may not always meet our accessibility standards, though we moderate content when possible
  • Third-Party Content: Embedded content from other websites (such as videos or social media posts) may not meet full accessibility standards
  • Legacy Content: Some older articles or calculators may contain content that we haven’t fully optimized yet
  • Complex Calculations: Some advanced calculator features may require additional accessibility enhancements that we’re actively developing

We are actively working to address these limitations and improve accessibility across all content and tools.

Assessment and Testing

We assess the accessibility of Bootstrapper Toolbox through multiple methods:

  • Regular self-evaluation using accessibility best practices
  • Automated testing tools to identify potential issues
  • Manual testing with keyboard navigation and screen readers
  • Calculator-specific testing for form accessibility
  • User feedback from visitors with disabilities
  • Periodic reviews of new content, features, and calculator updates
