Accessibility Policy

Grit Blueprint is committed to providing a website experience that is usable, understandable, and accessible.

Our goal is to make gritblueprint.com conform as closely as possible to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

WCAG is a recognized technical standard created by the World Wide Web Consortium, also known as W3C, to help make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. The U.S. Department of Justice has also stated that businesses open to the public should make their websites accessible to people with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Accessibility is not a one-time task. It is an ongoing commitment.

This policy applies to the public-facing pages, content, forms, media, downloads, and digital experiences controlled by Grit Blueprint on gritblueprint.com.

Some parts of the site may include third-party tools, plugins, embedded content, booking tools, payment tools, videos, forms, analytics tools, social media feeds, or other services we do not fully control.

We work to choose third-party tools that support accessibility, but we cannot guarantee the accessibility of every third-party platform or embedded feature.

Grit Blueprint aims to support accessibility practices that include:

1. Clear page structure.
2. Logical heading order.
3. Keyboard-friendly navigation.
4. Descriptive links and buttons.
5. Readable text.
6. Strong color contrast.
7. Alternative text for meaningful images.
8. Captions or transcripts where practical for audio and video.
9. Accessible forms, labels, and instructions.
10. Error messages that are clear and helpful.
11. Content that can be resized or zoomed without losing meaning.
12. Pages that work with common assistive technologies.
13. Plain-language content wherever possible.

We aim to review and improve accessibility as the website changes.

Our goal is for the Grit Blueprint website to work with current versions of commonly used browsers and assistive technologies, including:

1. Screen readers.
2. Keyboard-only navigation.
3. Voice recognition tools.
4. Browser zoom and text resizing tools.
5. Mobile accessibility settings.
6. Operating system accessibility features.

Because technology changes, some combinations of browsers, devices, plugins, and assistive tools may perform differently.

If something does not work as expected, we want to know.

We are working to improve accessibility across our website. Some content may not yet fully meet our target standard.

Possible limitations may include:

1. Older PDFs or downloadable files.
2. Third-party embedded forms or tools.
3. Older video or audio content without captions or transcripts.
4. Social media embeds.
5. Third-party scheduling, payment, or marketing tools.
6. User-generated or platform-generated content.
7. AI-generated media that may need additional review for accessibility.

When we find an issue, we aim to fix it or provide a reasonable alternative when practical.

Grit Blueprint may take steps such as:

1. Reviewing new website content for accessibility.
2. Adding alternative text to meaningful images.
3. Improving headings, links, labels, and forms.
4. Checking color contrast and readability.
5. Reviewing video, audio, and media accessibility.
6. Testing key website pages with accessibility tools.
7. Training team members or vendors on accessibility basics.
8. Updating the site as standards, tools, and user needs change.

We do not treat accessibility as a checkbox. We treat it as part of doing good business.

If you have trouble using any part of our website, contact us. To help us respond quickly, please include:

1. The page URL where the issue happened.
2. A short description of the problem.
3. The device, browser, or assistive technology you used, if you are comfortable sharing that.
4. The best way to contact you.

We will review your message and work to respond in a reasonable time.

If you cannot access information, complete a form, download a file, watch a video, book a call, or use a feature on our website, contact us.

We will make a reasonable effort to provide the information or service in another format.

That may include email support, a phone call, a plain-text version, an accessible document, or another practical option.

For accessibility questions, requests, or feedback, contact us. We suggest the subject line Website Accessibility Request.

Grit Blueprint works to make the website accessible, but we cannot guarantee that every page, feature, file, tool, or third-party service will always be fully accessible.

We are committed to improving access and addressing barriers when we become aware of them.

We may update this Accessibility Policy as our website, tools, services, standards, and accessibility practices change.

The “Last Updated” date shown above reflects when this policy was most recently revised.
