Accessibility Statement

DentalScapes is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Last reviewed: May 6, 2025

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. DentalScapes aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

We are partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partial conformance means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to address known gaps.

Technical Specifications

Accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies working in combination with your browser and any assistive technologies you use:

  • HTML5
  • CSS (Tailwind CSS)
  • WAI-ARIA 1.2
  • JavaScript (React 19)

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Measures Taken to Support Accessibility

DentalScapes takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of our website:

  • Include accessibility as a requirement in our development process.
  • Use semantic HTML5 landmark elements (<main>, <nav>, <footer>, <section>) to support screen reader navigation.
  • Provide a skip-to-main-content link at the top of every page for keyboard users.
  • Ensure all interactive elements have visible focus indicators using focus-visible styles.
  • Associate all form labels with their inputs using htmlFor / id pairs and aria-required attributes.
  • Provide text alternatives for all meaningful images via alt attributes.
  • Maintain a minimum color contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
  • Ensure navigation menus communicate their expanded/collapsed state via aria-expanded.
  • Use aria-live regions to announce dynamic content changes (form success/error states).
  • Conduct periodic accessibility reviews and address identified issues.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions:

Embedded YouTube Videos

Videos embedded from YouTube may not have full captions or audio descriptions for all content. We encourage users to use YouTube's built-in caption controls. We are working to ensure all video content has accurate captions.

Third-Party reCAPTCHA

Our contact forms use Google reCAPTCHA v3, which operates invisibly. Some assistive technologies may not interact with reCAPTCHA as expected. If you experience difficulty submitting a form, please contact us directly at hello@dentalscapes.com.

Legacy Blog Content

Older blog posts imported from our previous website may contain images without descriptive alt text or tables without proper header markup. We are reviewing and updating this content on an ongoing basis.
