Built to be read.

Most of the people reading this are over fifty-five and are reading it on a phone, outdoors, in Florida sun, one-handed. We built the site for that person, which happens to be the same thing as building it accessibly.

The standard we hold it to

We aim to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We test as we build rather than auditing at the end, and we treat a failure as a defect, not a nice-to-have.

What that means in practice

• Body text is at least 17px on a phone, set at a 1.62 line height, in dark ink on a warm light ground.
• Every text and background pair is measured. Body copy clears 4.5:1 and large headings clear 3:1. The gold in the palette is decorative only, hairlines, icons and rules, because it does not pass as text on a light ground.
• Everything is reachable by keyboard, in a sensible order, with a visible champagne focus ring. There is a skip link to the main content as the first stop.
• The mobile menu and the image lightbox trap focus while open, close on Escape, and return focus to the control that opened them.
• Tap targets are at least 44 by 44 pixels, including phone links and the persistent call bar.
• One h1 per page, headings in order, real tables with real headers, real labels on every form field, and errors announced rather than shown only in color.
• Every photograph and floor plan carries descriptive alternative text.
• If your system asks for reduced motion, the site respects it: the door starts open, the bays start lit, the ticker stops and nothing drifts or zooms.
• The site is deliberately light and declares itself as such, so a forced dark mode will not invert it into something unreadable.

Where we know it is imperfect

The homepage opens with a scroll-driven sequence. It is decorative, it is announced to assistive technology as such, and every fact it presents also appears as plain text further down the page or on a dedicated page. Embedded video is hosted by a third party and its player controls are outside our control; captions depend on that platform.

Tell us when it fails

If anything on this site keeps you from getting an answer, call (786) 708-2756 or write to info@excaliburfortmyers.com. Tell us the page and what happened. A person will read it, and we will also just answer your question directly while we fix it.
