Accessibility Statement

At the Can Corporation of America (CCA), we are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We believe information should be easy to access and use for everyone.

To that end, we have taken steps to design and develop our website in line with best practices for accessibility and universal design. Our goal is to meet the guidelines and requirements laid out in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Our Accessibility Practices

We aim to make our website accessible through both design and development choices, as well as through regular audits and improvements based on user feedback.

Design Choices

When initially building our website, we incorporated standards for accessibility at every step. This includes:

• Using proper HTML semantics and ARIA roles to convey meaning and relationships on the page
• Ensuring text colors and contrast ratios meet minimum requirements for readability
• Allowing pages to reflow content for mobile and resized screens
• Creating focus styles to highlight interactive elements as they are navigated via keyboard
• Providing text equivalents for non-text content such as images, icons, and multimedia

Development Testing

In addition to design considerations, we test for accessibility issues throughout development using industry standard tools, including:

• The WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool to identify errors or missing attributes
• The aXe browser extension to check for compliance with WCAG criteria
• Keyboard navigation testing to ensure all content can be accessed without a mouse
• Screen reader testing to verify content is accessible to blind users
• Color contrast checking to confirm ratios meet requirements

Ongoing Audits and Updates

We regularly audit our website using assistive technologies such as screen readers to identify any new issues that may have emerged. We also monitor user feedback and work quickly to resolve any reported problems.

When changes or redesigns of our website occur, accessibility is always a key consideration. We follow development best practices and test new releases thoroughly to maintain compliance.

Conformance Status

We are committed to meeting the WCAG 2.1 AA level of conformance and addressing any known issues in a timely manner. However, despite our best efforts, no website can be 100% free of accessibility defects. We welcome user feedback to help us continue improving the experience.
