Our Commitment to Accessibility
BlueNova Insurance Agency believes that everyone deserves access to clear information about their insurance options β regardless of ability or disability. We are committed to making our website accessible to individuals with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.
We view accessibility not as a checkbox, but as an ongoing commitment to inclusive design. Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the international standard for web accessibility.
Measures We Have Taken
To support our accessibility commitment, we have implemented the following measures:
prefers-reduced-motion media query. Users who have indicated a preference for reduced motion will see minimal animations.Known Limitations
While we strive for full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we acknowledge that some areas of our website may not yet fully meet all success criteria. Known areas where we are actively working to improve include:
- Some older PDF documents linked from our site may not be fully accessible. We are working to remediate or replace these documents.
- Third-party embedded content (such as maps and social media widgets) may not fully conform to our accessibility standards. We are evaluating alternatives for these components.
- The live chat widget is keyboard-accessible but may have limited screen reader support in some older assistive technology combinations.
We are actively addressing these limitations and expect to resolve them in upcoming updates. If you encounter an accessibility barrier on our site, please let us know immediately.
