At Weisgerber Brothers Simmental, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all visitors, including ranchers, cattle buyers, and individuals with disabilities. We continually work to improve the usability of our website and apply relevant accessibility standards to ensure an inclusive online experience.
We strive to conform our website content to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content accessible to individuals with visual, auditory, cognitive, and motor disabilities.
To ensure our purebred Simmental bull listings, health data, deposit forms, and farm information are accessible, we implement the following website design practices:
Keyboard Navigation: Navigational elements, buttons, and form fields are structured to be accessible via keyboard shortcuts and tab controls.
Text Alternatives (Alt Text): Images of bulls, heifers, farm maps, and visual content include alternative text descriptions for screen reader compatibility.
Color Contrast: High contrast text and background combinations are prioritized across all pages for improved readability.
Clear Structure & Headings: Logical HTML heading hierarchies (<h1>, <h2>, <h3>) are used to assist screen readers and visual browsing.
Responsive Layout: The website is designed to scale and reflow smoothly across desktop monitors, tablets, and mobile smartphones without loss of information.
We view accessibility as an ongoing commitment. As we regularly update our online cattle listings, EPD data, and purchasing policies, we periodically review our website code and content to identify and correct potential accessibility barriers.
