Accessibility Statement

At Ivy Ranch Dental, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for patients and visitors of all backgrounds and physical abilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant digital accessibility standards.

1. Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for making web content more accessible to people with sensory, cognitive, or physical disabilities. This website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA — "partially conformant" means that most of the site meets the standard, and that we are actively working on the areas that do not yet.

We assess conformance through a combination of automated testing and manual keyboard and screen-reader review. We have not commissioned a formal third-party audit; if you would like the details of our most recent internal review, contact us using the details below.

2. Accessibility Tools

Every page carries an accessibility toolbar, reachable from the icon in the lower-left corner of the screen or by tabbing to it with your keyboard. It lets you:

• Increase text size up to 150%
• Switch to a high-contrast color scheme
• Underline and outline every link on the page
• Stop animation and smooth scrolling
• Switch to a more legible typeface with wider letter spacing

Your choices are remembered on your own device and are never sent to us or to any third party. The toolbar supplements your browser and operating system accessibility settings — it does not replace them, and the site is built to work correctly with screen readers, browser zoom, and OS-level contrast and motion preferences whether or not you use it.

3. Accessibility Features on Our Site

• Skip navigation: A "Skip to main content" link is the first keyboard stop on every page, so you can bypass the header menu.
• Keyboard navigation: Menus, dropdowns, forms, accordions, and interactive tabs can be operated with a standard keyboard, with a visible focus outline on every control.
• Motion controls: The homepage slideshow can be paused, and all animation is disabled automatically if your device requests reduced motion.
• Semantic structure: Landmark regions, heading hierarchy, and ARIA attributes are used to support screen readers.
• Text contrast: Body and interface text is checked against the WCAG AA contrast thresholds.
• Text resizing: The site uses scalable units, so text can be enlarged without content overlapping or being cut off.
• Image descriptions: Informative images carry descriptive alternative text; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.

4. Known Limitations

Some content on this site is provided by third parties and is outside our direct control — including our online booking system, embedded maps, and patient forms. We cannot guarantee the accessibility of those services. If any of them prevents you from booking or contacting us, please call the office and we will complete the request with you directly.
