Accessibility Statement

Living in Littleton is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, including consumers who use screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, voice-control software, or who have low vision, hearing disabilities, motor disabilities, or cognitive disabilities. We want every visitor to be able to research Littleton homes, read our market insights, and contact Bryan Messick with substantially equivalent ease.

Our Accessibility Standard

We design and test this website against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at the Level AA conformance level as our internal operating target. WCAG 2.2 AA is a well-recognized technical standard that explains how to make web content more usable for people with disabilities. We do not claim that passing an automated scanner alone means the site is fully accessible; we also review pages manually and welcome feedback from real users.

This statement should not be read as a representation that every page meets a specific legal mandate under the Americans with Disabilities Act. It describes the standard we work toward and the practices we follow.

What We Do

• Use semantic HTML with a logical heading hierarchy (one H1 per page, followed by structured H2 and H3 headings).
• Provide a visible "Skip to main content" link for keyboard users.
• Ensure all interactive elements — links, buttons, forms, menus, and accordions — can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone.
• Label every form field clearly and provide accessible error messages when required information is missing or invalid.
• Maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background so content is readable for users with low vision.
• Write descriptive alt text for meaningful images and use empty alt attributes for purely decorative images so screen readers can skip them.
• Use descriptive link text (for example, "Read the Littleton market report") rather than generic phrases like "click here."
• Avoid content that flashes more than three times per second.
• Design pages that reflow without horizontal scrolling at 200% and 400% browser zoom.
• Identify the page language programmatically so assistive technology can pronounce content correctly.

Third-Party Tools and Embedded Content

Our website includes third-party tools such as IDX property search widgets, mortgage calculators, map embeds, and video players. While we select vendors who prioritize accessibility, we do not control every aspect of third-party content. If you encounter an accessibility barrier with a third-party tool, please let us know — we will work with the vendor to address it and, where possible, provide an alternative way for you to access the same information.

Our AI Question Assistant

The "Ask Bryan" AI Question Assistant on this site is an automated tool that matches your question against Bryan Messick's published real estate Q&A. It clearly identifies itself as AI, not as a human or as a licensed professional. It provides general information only and routes personalized questions to Bryan Messick for a human response. The assistant's answers, confidence indicator, and disclosure are all designed to be readable by assistive technology.

Report an Accessibility Barrier or Request Assistance

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our website — whether you use a screen reader, keyboard, voice software, or simply need information in a different format — please contact us. Tell us which page or feature you had trouble with, what technology you are using, and how we can help. We welcome your feedback, we take accessibility reports seriously, and we will make reasonable efforts to address the issue promptly and to provide the information you need in an accessible format.

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process, not a one-time checklist. We review our pages as we publish new content, and we periodically audit existing pages for barriers. When we learn about an issue from a user, we prioritize fixing it. If you find something we missed, please tell us — that feedback directly improves the site for everyone.
