Niem Construction is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive and user-friendly experience for everyone, regardless of ability or technology.

Our Commitment

We are actively working to ensure our website complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, which are internationally recognized standards for digital accessibility.

Our goal is to make our website content:

  • Perceivable — Information is presented in ways users can recognize
  • Operable — Navigation and functionality are usable by all
  • Understandable — Content is clear and predictable
  • Robust — Compatible with assistive technologies

Accessibility Features

To support accessibility, Niem Construction has implemented the following:

  • Clear and consistent navigation structure
  • Semantic HTML for improved screen reader compatibility
  • Alternative text (alt text) for all images
  • Keyboard-friendly navigation across all interactive elements
  • Proper heading hierarchy (H1 through H6)
  • Sufficient color contrast for readability
  • Responsive design for mobile and assistive devices
  • Forms with accessible labels, instructions, and error messages
  • Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements
  • Skip navigation link to bypass repetitive content
  • Reduced motion support for users who prefer less animation
  • Accessible dialogs and modals with focus management

Testing and Ongoing Improvements

We continuously monitor and improve our website by:

  • Conducting automated accessibility scans (axe-core, Lighthouse, Pa11y)
  • Performing manual audits and usability testing
  • Testing with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) and keyboard navigation
  • Reviewing compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we are committed to regular updates and improvements.
