Accessibility Statement

Effective May 5, 2026

RVLS, LLC believes the web should be usable by everyone — including people with permanent, temporary, or situational disabilities. This page explains the standards we target, the steps we take to meet them, and how to reach us if you run into a barrier.

Our commitment

Accessibility is a baseline requirement for the products we build and for our own marketing site. We design and engineer with assistive-technology users in mind from the start — not as a retrofit. When we ship a feature that falls short, we treat it as a defect with the same urgency as a broken link or a security bug.

This statement applies to rvlstech.com and to all web properties we operate. Client-deliverable software is governed by each project's own accessibility requirements as set out in the engagement agreement.

Standards we follow

We design against the following widely recognized accessibility standards. "Conformance" here is an ongoing engineering target — not a one-time certification — and is informed by automated scans, manual reviews, and feedback from real users.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA

Primary conformance target across the site.

WCAG 2.2 Level AA

New criteria (focus appearance, target size, etc.) incorporated where they apply.

Section 508 (U.S.)

Information and communication technology requirements for federal agencies.

EN 301 549 (EU)

European accessibility requirements for ICT products and services.

What we do

Concrete practices baked into how we build this site:

Semantic structure

Pages use landmark elements (header, nav, main, footer) and a logical heading hierarchy. Interactive elements are real buttons and links so they work with assistive technology out of the box.

Color contrast

Text and interactive components are designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios against the dark background. We periodically review new components for compliance.

Keyboard navigation

All interactive elements — navigation, form fields, buttons, links — are reachable with Tab, and focus indicators are visible. Skip-to-content and logical tab order are used where appropriate.

Reduced motion

Decorative animations honor the prefers-reduced-motion media query. Visitors who set this preference in their operating system will see a calmer version of the page.

Form labels & errors

Every form input has a programmatically associated label. Required fields, validation messages, and the post-submit success state are announced to assistive technology.

Responsive & zoom-friendly

Layouts adapt to small screens and remain usable at 200% browser zoom. Text reflows without horizontal scrolling or clipped content.

Known limitations & ongoing work

We strive to ship a fully conformant site, but we are honest about where we still have work to do. If any of the items below create a real barrier for you, please contact us — we will prioritize the fix.

  • The custom animated cursor is decorative; visitors who prefer the system cursor can disable it via browser settings or by setting prefers-reduced-motion.

  • Some legacy marketing imagery and external portfolio links may not yet carry descriptive alt text. We audit and update these on a rolling basis.

  • Third-party content we link to (such as partner sites or external blog posts) is outside our control and may not meet the same standards.

  • Automated accessibility scanners can return false positives on decorative gradients and animations. We review each finding manually before treating it as a defect.

Compatibility

This site is designed to work with current versions of major browsers and the following assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers: NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack
  • Browser zoom up to 200%
  • Keyboard-only navigation
  • Voice control (Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Apple Voice Control)
  • High-contrast and dark-mode operating-system settings
  • Mobile touch and switch-control devices

How we test

We test accessibility continuously during development rather than waiting for a launch-day audit. Our internal checks include:

  • Automated scans (axe-core and equivalent) on every significant change, with findings triaged before merge.
  • Manual keyboard-only walkthroughs of every public page.
  • Screen-reader passes using VoiceOver (macOS / iOS) and NVDA (Windows).
  • Color-contrast verification of new components and content blocks.

This statement is not a third-party certification. Independent accessibility audits are commissioned for client-deliverable projects as agreed in the engagement; please ask your account contact for the latest VPAT or audit report relevant to your project.

Found a barrier? Tell us.

If you have difficulty using any part of this site — or have a suggestion that would make it easier — we want to hear from you. We aim to respond within two business days and to ship a fix or workaround as quickly as we reasonably can.
