Accessibility Statement

Last updated: April 26, 2026

RAS Financial is committed to ensuring our website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards.

Our Commitment

We believe everyone deserves equal access to information and services. Our accessibility efforts include:

  • Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML landmarks (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>) to support screen readers and assistive technologies
  • Keyboard accessibility: All interactive elements — navigation, buttons, forms, and accordions — are fully operable via keyboard
  • Visible focus indicators: Keyboard focus is clearly visible throughout the site
  • Color contrast: We maintain a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for body text and 3:1 for large text
  • Alternative text: All meaningful images include descriptive alt text; decorative images are marked appropriately
  • Form labels: All form fields have associated labels and are clearly identified
  • Reduced motion: Animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query
  • Skip navigation: A "Skip to main content" link is the first focusable element on every page
  • Touch targets: Interactive elements are at least 44×44px for comfortable touch use on mobile
  • Responsive design: The site works across a range of device sizes and zoom levels up to 200%
  • Color theme toggle: Light and dark modes are available to accommodate different visual needs

Known Limitations

We are continuously working to improve accessibility. Known areas we are working to enhance:

  • Third-party embedded content (such as the Calendly scheduling widget) is subject to Calendly's own accessibility standards, which are outside our direct control
  • PDF documents shared through our secure client portal may not be fully accessible in all configurations — please contact us for accessible alternatives
