Accessibility.
Effective 2026-05-10
We build madisongeeks.com to be usable by as many people as possible — including people who use assistive technology, keyboards instead of mice, screen readers, voice control, and high-contrast modes.
Standards we target
The site is built and tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. Specifically:
- All text passes AA contrast against its background.
- Every interactive element is reachable and operable from a keyboard alone.
- Focus rings are visible on every interactive element.
- Form labels are programmatically associated with their inputs.
- Heading hierarchy is consistent — one h1 per page, in document order.
- Animations respect
prefers-reduced-motion. - Decorative images carry empty alt attributes; meaningful images carry descriptive alt text.
In the shop
The Madison shop at 6502 Odana Road is wheelchair accessible: side door entry from Potomac Lane, parking on Potomac, no steps. We are happy to bring repairs out to your car in the lot if entering the shop is difficult. Just call us when you arrive.
Reporting an issue
If anything on this site is hard to use with assistive tech, or if you encountered an accessibility barrier in the shop, please email hello@madisongeeks.com or call (608) 467-4012. We treat accessibility issues as bugs and fix them quickly.
How we test
Before each release we run automated checks (axe-core), keyboard- only navigation passes, and a screen-reader pass on the home page, repair page, and account portal. Our budget is zero new accessibility violations per release.
