ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

UPDATED — JULY 20, 2026 · AUGUST 11, 2026 · OCTOBER 19, 2026

Jonathan Hernandez is committed to making liveinre.com (the "Site") usable by everyone, including people who use assistive technology such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, or keyboard-only navigation.

Standard We're Targeting

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — the standard most commonly referenced by U.S. accessibility law and guidance.

What We've Done — July 20, 2026

  • Visible keyboard focus indicators on every link, button, and form field
  • Text contrast checked and corrected against WCAG's 4.5:1 minimum for body and label text
  • Motion, scroll inertia, and the animated cursor are disabled when your device's "reduce motion" setting is on
  • Decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers so they don't add noise; meaningful images and icons carry text alternatives
  • Semantic HTML landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) and a logical heading order throughout
  • Enlarged touch targets on mobile navigation

What We've Done — August 11, 2026

The neighbourhood sections of both market pages were rebuilt. The following changes were made at the same time; everything listed above remains in place.

  • The neighbourhood browser is operable from the keyboard — arrow keys move between areas, Enter or Space opens the selected one, and each card is a real button that reports its open or closed state to screen readers
  • Every neighbourhood description, market figure and list is present in the page itself rather than being generated on interaction, so the content is available without JavaScript and does not depend on the carousel
  • Animated text now always resolves to the real words. An earlier version could leave a heading stranded as random characters if the animation was interrupted — for example when the page was left in a background tab
  • Animated figures always display their true value. A previous version could stop partway and leave a price reading as zero
  • The "reduce motion" setting now also turns off the carousel's panel animation, the counting figures, and the wordmark reveal
  • The market-selection homepage carries a heading for screen readers describing the page, since its content is otherwise conveyed visually
  • Licence and brokerage details appear in the footer of every market page rather than only on some

What We've Done — October 19, 2026

Changes made since the last update; everything listed above remains in place.

  • Both markets now have a full Spanish version. Each page declares its language, so screen readers read Spanish pages with Spanish pronunciation, and the English / Español switch link is marked with the language it leads to
  • Every page has exactly one main heading that describes that page. Four foreclosure pages previously showed a broken heading and have been fixed
  • Every page's text, links and contact details are present in the page itself, so the Site can be read with JavaScript turned off
  • Text contrast and the size of touch targets were rechecked and corrected after the market pages were rebuilt
  • Broken in-page links on the Spanish pages, which pointed to a contact section that did not exist, now go to the right place
  • The brokerage logos in the footer carry text alternatives naming each firm, and the large JH monogram beside them stays hidden from screen readers because it is decorative

Ongoing Work

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time fix. We periodically review the Site as it changes and welcome feedback on anything that isn't working well for you.
