Accessibility
Built to work without getting in the way
This site is designed to be usable with a keyboard, with a screen reader, with JavaScript disabled and with motion turned off. Where we fall short, we would like to hear about it.

What we have done
- Every link works without JavaScript. The main menu is a CSS-only drawer, dropdown groups are native
<details>elements, and the floating quote button is an ordinary link to the quote page that JavaScript upgrades into a dialog. - Forms submit without JavaScript. Every lead form posts natively to a server endpoint and redirects to a confirmation page. JavaScript only adds an inline success message.
- Semantic structure. One
<h1>per page, ordered heading levels, real landmarks, breadcrumb navigation and a skip-to-content link. - Keyboard operation. Visible focus outlines throughout, the quote dialog traps focus while open and returns it to the button on close, and Escape closes both the dialog and the menu.
- Reduced motion. All animation, scroll reveal and counters respect
prefers-reduced-motion. With motion reduced, content appears immediately rather than on scroll. - Contrast and text. Body text is set at 17px with a 1.6 line height, colour combinations target WCAG AA, and text resizes with browser zoom without horizontal scrolling.
- Tables scroll, pages do not. Wide data tables scroll inside their own container so the page body never scrolls sideways on a phone.
Known limitations
- The three calculators in the Tool Shed require JavaScript. Each carries a
<noscript>block explaining how to do the calculation by hand, and the underlying logic is published in full on the relevant guide pages. - Some data tables are dense by necessity. Where a table encodes something important, the same information is written out in prose nearby.
- We have not had this site audited by a third party. Our conformance target is WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and this statement describes intent and effort rather than certified compliance.
Telling us about a problem
Email info@gaylordboxestx.com with the page address and what went wrong. We do not operate a telephone line, so if a written channel is a barrier for you, tell us what would work instead and we will arrange it.
Accessibility problems reported to us are treated as bugs, not feature requests. We fix them.
