Accessibility
Nimble is committed to digital accessibility. We design and maintain our website to be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.
Our Commitment
Nimble is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continuously work to improve the accessibility of our website and services to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.
We believe accessibility is an ongoing process, and we actively seek feedback from users to identify and address accessibility barriers.
Accessibility Features
Keyboard Navigation
All functionality on Nimble is accessible via keyboard. Users can navigate using Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, and arrow keys. We provide visible focus indicators on interactive elements.
Screen Reader Support
Our website is tested with popular screen readers including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. All images have descriptive alt text, and form fields have associated labels for clarity.
Color Contrast
All text meets WCAG AA standards for color contrast ratios (at least 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). We don't rely solely on color to convey information.
Text Resizing
Users can resize text up to 200% without loss of functionality or content. Browser zoom works properly across all pages.
Clear Navigation
Navigation menus are logical and consistent across pages. Skip links allow users to skip repetitive navigation content. Page structure uses proper heading hierarchy (H1 through H6).
Form Accessibility
All form fields have associated labels. Error messages are clear and specific. Required fields are marked. Form validation provides helpful feedback.
Video & Media Captions
All video and audio content includes captions and transcripts. This benefits users with hearing disabilities and those in sound-restricted environments.
Mobile Accessibility
Our website is fully responsive and accessible on mobile devices. Touch targets are appropriately sized, and content is readable without horizontal scrolling.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some limitations may exist:
- Embedded third-party content: Some third-party widgets or services (Stripe, mapping services, analytics) may have limited accessibility. We are working with vendors to improve this.
- PDF documents: Legacy PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are converting documents to accessible formats when possible.
- Complex data tables: Some complex data tables may require alternative accessible formats. Contact us if you need accessible alternatives.
If you encounter any of these limitations, please let us know so we can provide an accessible alternative or work to improve our implementation.
