Accessibility statement
Last updated
We want everyone who runs or visits an auction house website to be able to use this one, whatever device, browser or assistive technology they use.
Our commitment
GetAuctionWebsite aims to make getauctionwebsite.com usable by people with a wide range of abilities, and treats an accessibility problem as a bug to fix, not a feature request.
The standard we build to
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, built with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the WCAG 2.2 guidelines in mind. This is a target we test against, not a certification.
What we do
- Every page works with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline and a skip link to the main content.
- Text and controls are checked for colour contrast in every ground and ink the surface controls offer.
- Motion stops for visitors who ask their device for reduced motion; the review ring becomes a plain grid.
- Form fields have labels, errors are described in words, and tap targets are at least 44 pixels.
- Images carry text alternatives; decorative ones are hidden from screen readers.
- An accessibility panel in the corner of every page lets you adjust text size and other settings.
Known limitations
Some content is supplied by third parties, such as the booking calendar and the chat widget. We choose providers with accessibility in mind but cannot fully control their interfaces. If one blocks you, email us and we will help by another route.
Websites we build for clients
Every client site is built the same way and ships with its own accessibility statement. We build with the relevant rules in mind; we do not give legal advice, and a client with a specific accessibility obligation should tell us at onboarding so we build to it.
Report a problem
If anything on this site is hard to use, email with the page address and what happened. A person replies within one working day, during business hours (9:00 to 17:00 Central Time, Monday to Friday, excluding United States public holidays).
