Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility

Meridian Title Company is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and services, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use.

We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website and to ensure that all visitors can navigate and use our services effectively.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines provide recommendations for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA is an internationally recognized standard that helps ensure websites are usable by the broadest possible audience.

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

• Skip to Main Content Link: A skip link at the top of each page allows keyboard users to bypass navigation and jump directly to the main content.
• Semantic HTML Structure: We use proper semantic HTML elements to ensure content is properly structured and meaningful to assistive technologies.
• ARIA Labels: Interactive elements include appropriate ARIA labels and attributes to provide context for screen reader users.
• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are fully accessible via keyboard navigation, with visible focus indicators.
• Alternative Text: Images include descriptive alt text to convey meaning to users who cannot see them. Decorative images are marked as such and hidden from assistive technologies.
• Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios throughout the site to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Responsive Design: Our website is responsive and works across devices and screen sizes, including mobile devices and tablets.
• Reduced Motion Support: Animations and transitions are reduced or disabled for users who prefer reduced motion through their operating system settings.
• Live Calculator Results: Calculator outputs use ARIA live regions to announce updated results to screen reader users as values change.

Ongoing Efforts

We continually work to improve the accessibility of our website. This includes:

• Regular testing with accessibility tools and assistive technologies
• Gathering feedback from users with disabilities
• Staying current with accessibility best practices and standards
• Addressing accessibility issues as they are identified

Please note: While we strive to make our website as accessible as possible, we have not conducted a comprehensive third-party accessibility audit. If you encounter any barriers to accessibility, we encourage you to contact us so we can work to resolve the issue.
