Accessibility Statement for glcncmachining.com

This page explains the standards we build to, what we have tested, what still falls short, and how to tell us when something blocks you. Written for engineers, buyers, and anyone who needs the specs behind the pages.

Why this matters

When a site blocks you, the cost is real

Problems on a supplier site are not cosmetic. Here is what we see and what we are fixing.

01

You cannot read the drawing specs

A tolerance table set in a low-contrast gray at 11 px is unreadable for anyone with low vision. If you cannot confirm ±0.005 mm or Ra 0.8–1.6 μm before sending an RFQ, you either guess or walk away. Both waste your time.

02

The form fails on a keyboard

You tab to the file upload field and focus disappears. Without a visible focus ring and a proper label, you cannot attach a STEP file or a drawing set. The quote request dies at the last step, and the buyer never learns why.

03

Screen reader reads nothing useful

Decorative images without alt text, buttons labeled only by an icon, headings used for size rather than structure. A blind engineer hears "graphic, graphic, button" and has no path to the tolerance page or the material list.

04

Motion and zoom break the layout

At 200 percent zoom, a fixed-width spec table runs off screen. Auto-playing video with no pause control makes the page unusable for people with vestibular sensitivity. Content exists but cannot be reached.

Our approach

What we test, and how we decide what to fix

We treat the site like a part: define the tolerance, measure, correct, re-measure.

Standards we build to

WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the target, not a slogan

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines define three conformance levels: A, AA, and AAA. We target Level AA because it covers contrast, keyboard access, resize behavior, and form labeling without forcing design changes that hurt readability for everyone else.

Level AA sets a 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio for body text and 3:1 for large text and interface components. Every focusable element must show a visible focus indicator. Content must reflow to a 320 CSS pixel viewport without two-dimensional scrolling. We hold our own pages to those numbers.

  • 1
    Structure firstOne H1 per page, logical heading order, landmark regions so screen reader users can jump straight to the spec table.
  • 2
    Keyboard reachableQuote forms, material selectors, and file upload fields all work with Tab, Enter, and arrow keys alone.
  • 3
    Text that scalesPages stay usable up to 200 percent zoom and reflow at 320 CSS px width without clipping.

How we check

Automated scans plus manual keyboard and screen reader passes

Automated tools catch maybe a third of real barriers. They flag missing alt text and contrast failures, but they cannot tell you whether a heading order makes sense or whether a form error is announced to a screen reader. So we run both.

Manual testing covers keyboard-only navigation through the quote flow, screen reader output on the tolerance and material pages, and zoom testing on the spec tables. When a defect is confirmed, it goes into the fix queue with a priority, the same way we handle a dimensional deviation on the shop floor.

Why trust this page

The numbers behind how we work

Accessibility is one part of a quality system that already runs on measurement.

15Y

Operating since 2011

Fifteen years of machining work across three wholly-owned plants in Dongguan and Singapore.

±0.005

Tolerance we hold

The same measurement discipline applies to how we test and log site defects.

99.99%

Qualification rate

We track defects and close them, on parts and on pages alike.

FAQs

Questions we get about this page

Which standard does this site follow?

We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That covers contrast ratios, keyboard access, visible focus, resize behavior, and form labeling.

We do not claim full AAA conformance. AAA asks for 7:1 contrast and sign language for prerecorded audio, which we have not implemented.

What does conformance status actually mean here?

It means we have tested against the AA success criteria and most pass. Some content still falls short.

Older PDF spec sheets are not fully tagged, and third-party embeds such as maps and chat widgets sit outside our control.

How do I report a barrier?

Email or call us using the contact details on the contact page. Tell us the page URL, the browser, and the assistive technology you used.

If you can, note what you expected to happen and what happened instead. That shortens the time to reproduce it.

How fast do you respond?

We aim to reply within 12 hours, the same window we use for quotations and DFM feedback.

Complex defects that need a code change may take longer to fix, but you will get an acknowledgement and a status.

Do you provide information in another format?

Yes. If a page or a PDF is not accessible to you, ask us for the content in another format, such as plain text or a larger-print document.

For technical data, we can send tolerances, material grades, and inspection reports as text rather than a graphic.

Is this statement reviewed?

Yes. We revise it when our practices change or when we close a batch of confirmed defects.

The revision date and the scope of pages covered are kept current so you know what the statement applies to.

Does accessibility affect how I send files?

No. The upload fields in the quote form are keyboard reachable and labeled, so you can attach a STEP file or a drawing set without a mouse.

Uploads are secure and confidential, and an NDA is available on request.

Do third-party tools on the site meet the same standard?

Not always. Embedded maps, video players, and chat widgets follow their own vendors' accessibility policies.

Where a third-party tool blocks you, tell us. We can provide the same information through a channel we control.

Found a barrier? Tell us, and we will fix it

Send the page and what happened. You get a reply within 12 hours, and a quote for machining work if you need one.
