Accessibility Statement for Collis Roofing
Last updated: 2026-05-02
Collis Roofing is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users. We strive to create an inclusive digital experience for our clients, partners, and visitors, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. Our team is dedicated to continuously improving the accessibility of our website, and we adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards.
Commitment to Accessibility
At Collis Roofing, our commitment to accessibility stems from our mission to serve the Long Beach, CA community and surrounding areas, including Rancho Dominguez, Carson, Bixby Knolls, and California Heights. We recognize the importance of making our services and information available to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We are dedicated to providing a barrier-free user experience while complying with relevant laws and standards, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Features Implemented
To enhance the accessibility of our website, we have implemented several features that align with WCAG 2.1 AA criteria:
Alt Text for Images
All images on our website have descriptive alt text that conveys the function and content of the images. This ensures that users with visual impairments who rely on screen readers can access the same information that sighted users receive. For example, images depicting our roofing projects include alt descriptions such as "Collis Roofing team installing shingles on a residential home in Long Beach, CA."
Keyboard Navigation
We understand that many users navigate websites without a mouse. Therefore, we have ensured that all interactive elements on our site, such as links, buttons, and form fields, can be operated using keyboard navigation alone. This feature promotes accessibility for users with motor impairments who may find it challenging to use a mouse.
Color Contrast
Maintaining adequate color contrast is essential for readability. All text on our website meets or exceeds the WCAG 2.1 AA standards for color contrast ratios, ensuring that text is legible against its background. We chose color schemes that provide sufficient contrast to assist users with visual impairments in clearly perceiving content.
Captions for Multimedia Content
For any video content available on our website, we provide captions to ensure that users who are deaf or hard of hearing can understand the audio. This follows best practices in accessibility and enhances the inclusivity of our content.
Known Limitations
While we strive for the highest level of accessibility on our website, we acknowledge some limitations that may still exist:
- Third-party content: Some content embedded from external sources may not fully comply with WCAG standards. We encourage users to reach out to us if they encounter any accessibility issues with third-party content.
- Older content: Content created prior to our accessibility initiative may not have been retrofitted with accessibility features. We are working to update older content progressively.
- Dynamic content: Certain dynamic content features may present challenges for accessibility. We are continuously improving these aspects to enhance usability.
We welcome feedback on any accessibility limitations you may encounter while using our website. Your input helps us identify areas for improvement and guides our ongoing efforts to enhance accessibility for all users.

Technical Specifications
To ensure our website is accessible, we continuously evaluate and implement various technical specifications, including but not limited to:
- HTML Tags: We utilize semantic HTML to properly structure our content, making it easier for screen reader users to navigate and comprehend.
- ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications): We employ ARIA roles, states, and properties appropriately to enhance accessibility where traditional HTML elements may not suffice, particularly in interactive components.
