Our Commitment
Cornelius Digital Solutions LLC ("CDS") is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to people with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive digital experience that enables all users, regardless of ability, to access our content and services effectively.
We believe that digital accessibility is not only a legal requirement but also a moral imperative that reflects our values of service, integrity, and excellence—principles rooted in our military heritage and professional practice.
Accessibility Standards
We are committed to conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), provide a comprehensive framework for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities.
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance helps ensure our website is accessible to users with a wide range of disabilities, including:
- Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)
- Hearing impairments (deafness, hard of hearing)
- Motor impairments (limited fine motor control, paralysis)
- Cognitive impairments (dyslexia, autism, ADHD)
WCAG 2.1 AA Principles
Our accessibility efforts are guided by the four fundamental principles of WCAG 2.1:
1. Perceivable
Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
- Text Alternatives: All images include descriptive alt text
- Color Contrast: Text and background colors meet minimum contrast ratios
- Resizable Text: Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality
- Multiple Ways: Information is not conveyed by color alone
2. Operable
User interface components and navigation must be operable by all users.
- Keyboard Access: All functionality is available via keyboard
- No Seizures: Content does not contain flashing elements that could cause seizures
- Timing: Users have adequate time to read and use content
- Navigation: Multiple ways are provided to locate content
3. Understandable
Information and operation of user interfaces must be understandable.
- Readable: Text content is readable and understandable
- Predictable: Web pages appear and operate in predictable ways
- Input Assistance: Users are helped to avoid and correct mistakes
4. Robust
Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by assistive technologies.
- Compatible: Content works with current and future assistive technologies
- Valid Code: HTML and CSS are coded to web standards
- Semantic Markup: Content structure is properly marked up
