Accessibility

Our Commitment

Annette Thomas, REALTOR® is committed to ensuring that this website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information about buying and selling real estate in Sault Ste. Marie and the surrounding area.

We are working to meet or exceed the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA.

What We're Doing

To support accessibility, this website has been designed with the following in mind:

• Readable text — sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds throughout the site
• Scalable layout — the site is fully responsive and works on screens of all sizes, including mobile devices
• Keyboard navigation — the site can be navigated using a keyboard without requiring a mouse
• Descriptive alt text — images include alternative text descriptions for users relying on screen readers
• Semantic HTML — content is structured with proper headings and landmarks to assist assistive technologies
• Visible focus indicators — interactive elements display a visible focus state when navigated by keyboard

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some content on this site — including third-party tools such as embedded maps or listing data feeds — may not fully meet accessibility standards. We are continuously working to identify and address these gaps.

Assistive Technologies

This site is designed to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including:

• Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
• Browser zoom and text resizing
• High contrast display modes
• Keyboard-only navigation
