1. Our goal
We build PreferredEMS.com so people can find information and request transport on a phone or a computer, however they use the web.
We do not claim this website meets every accessibility standard or has no problems. When we find a problem, we fix it.
2. What we built in
These features are on the website today:
- A "Skip to main content" link, so keyboard and screen-reader users can jump past the menu.
- Clear headings and page sections, so screen readers can move around the page.
- The menu works with a keyboard. Press Escape to close it.
- A visible outline shows where you are when you use a keyboard.
- Every form box has a label. Errors are read out by screen readers.
- Screen readers hear when a form is sent or when something went wrong.
- Phone numbers, email links and buttons have clear names for screen readers.
- Readable text color in the footer and across the site.
- Less movement when your phone or computer is set to reduce motion.
- Icons that are only decoration are hidden from screen readers.
- Every page has a clear title and says which language it is in.
3. Using a keyboard
You can use the main menu and buttons with a keyboard. Press Tab to move forward, Shift+Tab to go back, and Enter or Space to press a button or link.
Press Escape to close the menu. Press Tab once at the top of a page to see the "Skip to main content" link.
Every browser and screen reader works a little differently. If something does not work for you, tell us and we will fix it.
4. Forms
The Request Transport form works with screen readers. Every box has a label, and required boxes are marked.
If a box has a mistake, the message is read out with that box. When you send the form, screen readers hear if it worked.
5. Motion and color
If your phone or computer is set to reduce motion, the website turns off or shortens its animations.
We use readable text and strong color contrast where we can. We keep checking colors as the website changes.
6. Other companies' websites
Some links go to other companies, such as CardPointe for paying a bill and WhatsApp for messages. Those companies control how easy their websites are to use.
If you have trouble on one of those websites, contact that company. You can also call us and we will help another way.
7. We keep improving
We check and improve the website over time. Your feedback helps us find problems.
