Website Accessibility
Making Our Website Easy to Use for All Visitors
Our Commitment to Digital Inclusion
At midwesttextile.com, we believe everyone deserves an equitable, seamless online experience. To support this, we have taken deliberate steps to ensure the site is usable and accessible to all, including individuals who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, voice dictation tools, or keyboard-only navigation.
Continuous Monitoring & Expert Testing
We have partnered with AudioEye, a trusted third-party provider of web accessibility services, to monitor and evaluate our website. Through automated testing, AudioEye identifies issues and reports them through its platform. Additionally, when expert review or user testing with people with disabilities is conducted, either AudioEye resolves the concerns or supplies a Source Feedback Report (SFR), which we use to improve our site. AudioEye also works to refine its solutions on an ongoing basis.
AudioEye Trusted Certification
We are proud to display the Trusted by AudioEye badge, which underscores our dedication to digital inclusion. This certification process includes automated scans, expert reviews (where required), remediation, and real-user testing, all geared toward aligning with WCAG 2.2, Level AA success criteria. midwesttextile.com and AudioEye maintain a close partnership to continually uphold accessibility standards.
AudioEye confirms that midwesttextile.com has engaged its services in order to adhere to WCAG 2.2, Level AA guidelines.
For its evaluations, AudioEye uses:
- The latest and the two preceding versions of widely used, standards-compliant desktop browsers (those with more than 5% global market share).
- Assistive technologies commonly favored by individuals with disabilities, including screen readers (like JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver), screen magnification tools, voice dictation, and keyboard-only navigation.
Adhering to Web Accessibility Guidelines
We refer to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 as the benchmark for improving site accessibility. These internationally-recognized guidelines—established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)—define three conformance levels (A, AA, AAA). Our accessibility efforts are centered on achieving and maintaining Level AA conformance.
