Sour Apple Consulting takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of this website:

• We take an accessibility-by-design approach for any new design and development.

• Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

• Set the language of the site 

• Set the content order of the site’s pages

• Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

• Added alternative text to images

• Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

• Reduced the use of motion on the site

• Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

• Images and other non-text elements have alternative text associated with them.

Compatibility with browsers and assistive technology

This website is designed to be compatible with the most widely used web browsers (in their current version minus two): Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Opera.

 

As of January 12, 2016, Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer browsers older than IE 11 and IE 11 is the last version of this browser. Therefore, we only support Internet Explorer 11 to the best of our ability given its age and limitations.

 

Older versions of the above-noted browsers still display our website, but expect mixed results as they may interpret HTML, CSS and JavaScript differently.

 

Known limitations of this website

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of this website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations.

 

Some third-party content, such as YouTube videos, Vimeo videos, and Google Maps may not be fully accessible. For example, some actions on that content may not be available using the keyboard alone. Third-party content can provide a rich website visitor experience, but Sour Apple Consulting has no control over functional elements of that content.

 

Sour Apple Consulting website content editors are trained to add as many accessibility features as possible to third-party content, such as captions or transcriptions, but they have no control over functional elements such as buttons or sliders.

 

Internet Explorer 11 does not handle color contrast efficiently so you may notice issues if you use that browser version.

 

Some accessibility features need to be phased-in over time or they are dependent on other features, which may mean some of the sourappleconsulting.com content is not yet accessible. For example, if the content management system needs to be upgraded, there may be new accessibility issues introduced which can only be fixed after the upgrade.
