Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Steel City Therapy aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This means that our website aims to be accessible to most users with disabilities. We are actively working to identify and address any areas where we may fall short of these standards.

We regularly test our website using both automated tools and manual testing methods to identify and resolve accessibility barriers. While we strive for full conformance, we recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process and are committed to continuous improvement.
