Accessibility Statement

Draft for review. This page is a plain-language starting point, not legal advice. Have a qualified attorney review it before publishing.

Flood Tide Digital wants floodtidedigital.com to work for everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, captions, or other assistive technology.

Our commitment

We build websites for a living, and we hold our own site to the same standard we aim for with clients. Accessibility is part of how we design, write, and test, not an afterthought.

Our target: WCAG 2.1 AA

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. In practice that means we work toward:

• Descriptive alt text for meaningful images
• Enough color contrast between text and backgrounds
• Clear headings and page structure
• Pages and menus that work with a keyboard alone
• Forms with clear labels and error messages
• Respecting reduced-motion settings where we can

Known limitations

We are still working on a few things, including:

• Some older images and blog content may be missing alt text
• Some animations and smooth scrolling effects may not fully respect reduced-motion settings yet
• Screenshots of client websites are images and may contain text that is not available to screen readers
• Some third-party tools we use, such as form spam protection, are outside our direct control

We review the site regularly and fix issues as we find them.
