Accessibility Statement
Best Rated Business Loans is committed to making bestratedbusinessloans.com usable by as many visitors as possible, including people who use assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnification, voice input, or keyboard only navigation. We view accessibility as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one time project, and we continue to refine the site as we learn more.
Standards We Reference
We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, commonly known as WCAG, at level AA as our internal benchmark when designing and reviewing pages. These guidelines cover areas such as color contrast, text resizing, keyboard operability, and clear labeling of interactive elements like forms and buttons.
Steps We Have Taken
- Semantic structure: pages use proper heading levels, landmark regions, and descriptive link text so screen reader users can navigate content in a logical order.
- Color and contrast: text and background colors are chosen to meet strong contrast ratios, and information is never conveyed through color alone.
- Keyboard access: interactive elements, including the loan product calculator and comparison filters, are built to be reachable and operable using a keyboard alone.
- Responsive text: layouts adjust when a visitor increases browser text size or zoom level, so content remains readable without horizontal scrolling.
- Descriptive alt text: images that convey meaningful information include alternative text describing their purpose, while purely decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology.
- Form labeling: form fields used for rate requests and contact submissions include clear, associated labels rather than placeholder text alone.
Known Limitations
Some third party elements embedded on our site, such as fonts or lender application widgets hosted by outside providers, are outside our direct control and may not fully match our own accessibility standards. Where we identify a limitation like this, we work with the relevant provider or look for an alternative solution.
