Our Accessibility Standard
Buck Knives, Inc. consistently strives to ensure compliance with applicable laws and guidelines that relate to web accessibility and follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in cooperation with individuals and organizations around the world. For more information, please see the WCAG 2.1 recommendations found here.
We make every effort to build webpages to meet or exceed Level “AA” WCAG 2.1 compliance. The WCAG 2.1 Level AA is recognized and acknowledged as the international standard. We work with specialists to improve, continuously and as much as practically possible, the experience for users with disabilities.
We are always learning, and our websites are constantly being updated with new content; we review our websites for WCAG compliance periodically and work to make any necessary corrections and fixes.
Below are some of the items we are implementing to ensure our web pages are as easy as possible to navigate for all users:
Our web pages are often rich with content, images, and functionality. We strive to keep the color contrasts as per WCAG recommendations wherever feasible.
Our web page layouts are structured for easy navigation for individuals using a screen reader. We use semantic HTML5 with appropriate tags to distinguish content headings, sections, listings, tables, and other formatting features so that guests can easily and consistently use the website with assistive technology.
We do our best to include a text-based alternative for all images.
Many of our web pages contain audio and video content, and wherever it is feasible we provide a text-based alternative, including captions and transcripts.
Users can use zoom-in or zoom-out functionality on most of our pages.
Most parts of our web pages can be accessed using a tab-based keyboard or keyboard emulators to navigate through the site.
Our web pages will be valid HTML. Where feasible, we will endeavor to support common user agents and assistive technologies, but be aware that not all user agents and assistive technologies parse valid HTML uniformly.
Many of our webpages use third-party-vendor-provided components; we encourage our vendors to build their widgets and components to be WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliant.
