Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on September 21, 2026.

We at Sawtooth Digital Foensics are working to make our site sawtoothdigitalforensics.com accessible to people with disabilities. We want this site to be usable by everyone, including visitors who use assistive technology such as screen readers, switch devices, or keyboard-only navigation. Accessibility is also simply consistent with how we practice our work: precision and attention to detail matter to us in a digital forensics and security practice, and that extends to the site itself.

This statement describes our current conformance target, what we've done to meet it, what we know still needs work, and how to reach us if something on the site doesn't work for you.

What Web Accessibility Is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

We target the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the most widely recognized accessibility standard. This site is not independently certified against that standard — the statement below reflects a self-conducted technical review, most recently completed September 2026, and represents our good-faith effort rather than a formal certification.

Accessibility Measures We Have Taken

Site-wide color palette and text sizing were built and verified to meet WCAG contrast requirements — including panel and hero-section text, which was checked against its actual rendered background rather than assumed.
All form fields on our intake and contact forms have an accessible label, so visitors using a screen reader hear what each field is asking for.
Every page includes a working "Skip to Main Content" link for keyboard users.
Pages declare their language (English) so assistive technology reads and pronounces content correctly.
All interactive elements — buttons, links, form fields — are reachable and operable by keyboard.
All content images convey their content through descriptive alt text; decorative icons and elements are appropriately marked so assistive technology skips them rather than announcing them redundantly alongside their adjacent text labels. This includes the header logo, corrected after a July 2026 review, and the full site-wide alt-text sweep completed in a September 2026 accessibility audit.
Every page has a single, correctly-placed H1 heading, and heading levels follow through H2 → H3 → H4 without skipping levels — so screen-reader users can navigate by heading structure and understand the page's outline. Reviewed and corrected site-wide in September 2026.
Form field accessible names are single, non-redundant, and match the visible label — so a screen reader announces each field once, not twice.
The site is built to be usable at mobile and tablet widths, with touch targets sized for comfortable use.
Motion on the site is limited to brief, one-time transitions and respects your device's "reduce motion" setting.

Declaration of Partial Compliance and Known Limitations

A self-review completed July 2026 found five specific issues; four have since been corrected (see Measures We've Taken, above). We're actively working on the remainder:

Keyboard focus indicator. When navigating by keyboard alone, it is not currently always visible which element is focused. We're adding a visible focus outline site-wide as our next accessibility improvement.
Full assistive-technology testing. Our reviews to date have used programmatic checks and manual inspection rather than end-to-end testing with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack) or switch-device navigation. A follow-up review using real assistive technology is planned.

We review this site periodically. As these items are resolved we'll update this page and its Last Reviewed date; if a future review finds additional gaps, we'll list them here specifically along with our plan to address them, rather than removing the page or leaving it silent. Digital accessibility is not a one-time task, and no self-review substitutes for testing with real assistive technology across every device and browser combination — we treat this as ongoing work, not a box to check once.

Some site functionality (for example, our contact and intake forms) is provided through our website platform, Wix. We've verified this content against the same standard, but a small number of platform-level elements are outside our direct control to modify.
