Accessibility Statement

JHBRIDGE Translation Services is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards.

Effective Date: May 2026

1. Commitment to Accessibility

JHBRIDGE Translation Services is committed to making our website and services accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive experience that allows all users to access information, request services, upload documents, manage accounts, and communicate with our team effectively.

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing effort. While we work to meet or exceed applicable accessibility standards, we acknowledge that some areas may require further improvement. We welcome feedback and are dedicated to addressing accessibility barriers as they are identified.

2. Accessibility Standards and Guidelines

JHBRIDGE aims to conform to Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, which are internationally recognized standards for web accessibility. These guidelines help ensure that our website and platform are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with diverse abilities.

We also consider best practices from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and other applicable accessibility laws and standards relevant to our service areas in Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Texas, California, and nationwide.

3. Current Accessibility Features

Our website and services include the following accessibility features to support users with disabilities:

Semantic HTML Structure: We use proper HTML markup and semantic elements to ensure content is logically organized and can be interpreted correctly by assistive technologies such as screen readers.

Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements, including navigation menus, forms, buttons, file upload controls, and links, are designed to be accessible via keyboard without requiring a mouse. Users can navigate the site using Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, and Arrow keys.

Screen Reader Compatibility: We strive to ensure compatibility with popular screen reading software such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. We use descriptive labels, ARIA attributes, and alternative text for images and icons to provide context for users who rely on assistive technology.

Color Contrast and Typography: Text and interactive elements are designed with sufficient color contrast ratios to meet WCAG AA standards. Font sizes and line spacing are chosen to enhance readability for users with low vision or reading difficulties.

Responsive and Flexible Design: Our website is designed to work across a variety of devices, screen sizes, and orientations, including desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Content reflows and adapts to support users who zoom in or adjust text sizes.

Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators are provided for all interactive elements, making it easier for keyboard users to see which element is currently active.

Alternative Text for Images: Informative images include descriptive alternative text. Decorative images are marked appropriately so they do not interfere with screen reader navigation.

Form Accessibility: Form fields include clear labels, instructions, and error messages. Required fields are indicated, and validation messages are provided in a manner accessible to all users.

Reduced Motion Support: We respect user preferences for reduced motion and limit or disable animations and transitions for users who have enabled this setting in their operating system or browser.

4. Keyboard Navigation Support

We prioritize keyboard accessibility throughout our platform. Users should be able to perform essential actions using only a keyboard, including:

Navigating the website and accessing all pages and sections; accessing and interacting with navigation menus; filling out and submitting forms, including document upload and service request forms; activating buttons and links; managing account settings and preferences; and accessing help, support, and contact information.

If you encounter any difficulties navigating the site with a keyboard, please contact us so we can address the issue.

5. Screen Reader and Assistive Technology Compatibility

JHBRIDGE strives to ensure that our website and platform are compatible with assistive technologies, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech recognition software, and alternative input devices. We test our platform with common assistive technologies and work to resolve compatibility issues as they arise.

If you experience issues using assistive technology on our website, please let us know so we can investigate and improve the experience.

6. Responsive and Mobile Accessibility

Our website is built using responsive design principles to ensure accessibility across devices and screen sizes. Content adjusts to fit smaller screens, and touch targets are sized appropriately for mobile users. We test our platform on a variety of devices and browsers to ensure a consistent and accessible experience.

7. Ongoing Accessibility Improvements

Accessibility is not a one-time effort. JHBRIDGE is committed to continuously evaluating and improving the accessibility of our website and services. We conduct regular accessibility audits, implement updates based on user feedback, train our team on accessibility best practices, and monitor emerging accessibility standards and technologies.

As we add new features, update existing functionality, or redesign sections of our platform, we prioritize accessibility in the development process.

8. Third-Party Content and Services

Some features or content on our website may be provided by third-party vendors or integrations, such as payment processors, analytics tools, or embedded media. While we strive to work with vendors who prioritize accessibility, JHBRIDGE does not have direct control over the accessibility of third-party services. If you encounter accessibility barriers related to third-party content, please contact us and we will work with the vendor to address the issue where possible.

9. Accessibility Feedback and Assistance

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our website and services. If you encounter accessibility barriers, have difficulty accessing content or features, need assistance with a specific task, or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us. We are committed to working with you to provide the information or services you need in an accessible format.

When reporting an accessibility issue, please provide as much detail as possible, including the page or feature you were trying to access, the assistive technology you were using (if applicable), a description of the issue or barrier, and your contact information so we can follow up with you.

We will make reasonable efforts to respond to accessibility inquiries within 5 business days and work toward resolving identified issues in a timely manner.

10. Alternative Formats and Accommodations

If you require information or documents in an alternative format (such as large print, plain text, accessible PDF, or audio format), please contact us and we will work to accommodate your request. For interpretation services, we can provide accommodations for clients with disabilities, including communication support, accessible meeting formats, or additional time as needed.

11. Limitations and Known Issues

While we strive to maintain a fully accessible website, some content or features may not yet fully meet accessibility standards. We are actively working to identify and address these issues. Some uploaded user-generated documents or legacy content may not be fully accessible. We encourage clients to provide accessible source materials where possible and can work with clients to improve the accessibility of translated documents.

12. Accessibility Training and Awareness

JHBRIDGE is committed to fostering an accessibility-conscious culture. Our team receives training on accessibility best practices, inclusive design, and how to support clients with disabilities. We encourage ongoing education and awareness to ensure that accessibility remains a priority across all aspects of our business.

13. Legal and Regulatory Compliance

JHBRIDGE is committed to complying with applicable accessibility laws and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and state accessibility requirements in our service areas. We recognize our legal and ethical responsibility to provide equal access to our services for all users.
