Accessibility Statement

Last updated: June 1, 2026

Bakersfield Rental Homes is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. We continually work to improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards across all pages and features of our platform.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

Our site has been audited using the axe-core 4.9 automated testing engine and manual review across all primary pages: homepage, listings, list your property, vendor application, and community board.

Measures We Take

Bakersfield Rental Homes takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:

  • Skip-to-main-content link available on all pages
  • All pages include a descriptive <html lang="en"> attribute
  • All form inputs have explicit labels
  • Keyboard navigation supported throughout, including photo gallery and lightbox
  • Focus is trapped and managed in modal dialogs
  • All decorative images are marked aria-hidden="true"
  • All meaningful images have descriptive alt text
  • Interactive controls have accessible names via aria-label
  • Status messages announced to screen readers via aria-live
  • Color contrast meets or exceeds 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text
  • ARIA roles follow the WAI-ARIA 1.2 specification
  • Correct heading hierarchy (h1 → h2 → h3) maintained on all pages
  • Error messages associated with form fields and announced to screen readers
  • Video content in the hero is muted by default and marked decorative
  • Map iframes include descriptive title attributes
  • Structured data (JSON-LD) included for search engine and assistive technology use

Known Limitations

While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, some areas may have limitations. We are actively working to resolve these:

  • Community Board: User-generated content (posts, comments, images) may not always meet accessibility standards. We encourage users to provide meaningful descriptions for any images they upload.
  • Third-party map embeds: The Google Maps iframe used on property listing pages is provided by a third party and may have limited keyboard accessibility.

Technical Specifications

Accessibility of Bakersfield Rental Homes relies on the following technologies:

  • HTML5 semantic elements
  • CSS (Tailwind CSS)
  • JavaScript / React (Next.js)
  • WAI-ARIA roles, states, and properties

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards listed above.
