Accessibility Statement

1Our commitment

QuickLeads is a data product. If the data cannot be read, the product does not exist for you, so accessibility is not a compliance exercise here. It is the same work as making the record legible in the first place.

We are committed to ensuring that our website and portal are accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities, and to continuing that work as the product changes.

2The standard we measure against

We target the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, and we build against WCAG 2.2 Level AA where its newer criteria apply, notably target size, focus appearance and dragging alternatives.

Conformance status: partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means most of the site meets the standard, but some content does not yet fully conform. The specific gaps are listed in section 4 rather than left unstated, because a statement that claims full conformance without naming its exceptions is no use to the person who hits one.

3What we have done

Across quickleadsllc.org and the QuickLeads portal:

• Contrast. Every text and interface colour in our design system has been measured against its background, not estimated: body and interface text meets the 4.5:1 minimum, and large text, borders and graphics meet 3:1. Our brand green carries text only where it clears 4.5:1, and the pale end of the green ramp only ever carries text on the deep-green panels, never on the light page.
• Skip to content. A skip link is the first thing on every page, so keyboard and screen reader users can jump straight past the navigation instead of tabbing through it on every page.
• Colour is never the only signal. Filing type chips (NOD, NTS, LP) and status indicators carry a text label as well as a colour, so they read the same in greyscale or with colour vision deficiency.
• Keyboard operation. Every interactive control is reachable and operable by keyboard, in a logical order, with a visible focus ring. Menus and dialogs trap and restore focus and close on Escape.
• Structure and semantics. One h1 per page, headings in order, real landmarks, real buttons and links, form fields with associated labels, and errors announced rather than shown only in red.
• Text alternatives. Meaningful images carry alt text; decorative imagery is hidden from assistive technology instead of being described.
• Consistent navigation. The header, footer and section order stay in the same place on every page, and link text describes its destination without depending on surrounding context.
• Motion. Scroll and entrance animations are brief, non-essential and never convey information on their own. All animation is disabled for visitors whose system requests reduced motion, and no content flashes.
• Zoom and reflow. Pages reflow to 320 CSS pixels and stay usable at 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling, except where a wide data table scrolls inside its own region. Those regions are keyboard focusable and labelled, so their content is reachable without a mouse.
• Target size. Links in dense navigation and footer columns carry extra vertical padding so the clickable area clears the 24 by 24 pixel minimum.
• Documents and exports. Filing data is available as a spreadsheet export and as email, so the same record can be read outside the interface entirely.

4Known limitations

These are the areas we know are not yet fully conformant. We are working on each, and for each there is a way to get the same information today:

• The map view. The interactive map is built on a third-party mapping library, and its pins are not fully operable by keyboard or announced by screen readers. Every filing shown on the map is also present in the list and table views, which are accessible, and in the spreadsheet export.
• The spreadsheet-style editor. The dense grid used for bulk editing relies on pointer interaction and grid keyboard patterns that are not complete. It is an internal tool and is not part of the subscriber experience.
• Recorded filing documents. The PDFs we attach are scans produced by county recorders. They are images of paper, they are not machine-readable, and we cannot alter the county record itself. The filing details extracted from each document (parties, amounts, dates, property) are available as accessible text in the portal. If you need a document read, contact us and we will provide its contents in an accessible format at no charge.
• Third-party components. Stripe checkout and Google sign-in are hosted by those companies and governed by their own accessibility statements.

5How we assess

We evaluate accessibility by self-assessment. Contrast ratios are computed directly from our design tokens rather than eyeballed, and keyboard operation, focus order, landmark structure and reduced-motion behaviour are checked by hand. New interface work is reviewed against these criteria before it ships, and this statement is reviewed at least annually and whenever we make a significant change to the site or the portal.

Two honest caveats. We have not commissioned a third-party audit, and our screen reader coverage is not systematic: we test with one reader, not the full matrix of readers and browsers real users have. When either changes, this section will say so. Until then, treat section 4 as the list we know about rather than the list that exists.

6Tell us about a barrier

If any part of QuickLeads is not usable for you, tell us. Describe the page or feature, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology and browser you were using if you know them.

7Formal complaints

If our response does not resolve the issue, you may contact the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, or, in California, the Civil Rights Department. Nothing in this statement limits any right you have under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, or the Unruh Civil Rights Act.
