Our Commitment

• The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title III
• The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA
• Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973

Measures We Have Taken

To support accessibility, Ryan & Lauren LLP has implemented the following features across our website:

• Skip navigation link to allow keyboard users to bypass repeated header content
• Semantic HTML5 landmarks including <main>, <header>, <nav>, <footer>, and <section>
• ARIA roles, labels, and live regions on all interactive and dynamic content
• Descriptive alt text on all images
• Visible keyboard focus indicators on all interactive elements
• Logical heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) for screen reader navigation
• All form fields have associated <label> elements
• Colour contrast ratios meeting or exceeding 4.5:1 (WCAG AA) for all body text
• Animated content (client name marquee) includes a visible Pause/Play control
• Full prefers-reduced-motion support — all animations are disabled for users who have this OS-level setting enabled
• Fully responsive layout for mobile and tablet viewports
• No content relies solely on colour to convey meaning
• All interactive elements are reachable and operable via keyboard alone
