Accessibility (ADA) Policy

AutoDetailPedia is dedicated to making our digital content usable by everyone. Our resources on car detailing, vehicle cleaning, and interior care are designed and maintained with accessibility in mind so that visitors of all abilities can learn, compare products, and follow step-by-step guidance with confidence.

As a publisher of tutorials, checklists, product insights, and before-and-after examples related to automotive care, we continually review our site’s design and code to improve access for people using assistive technologies and a wide range of devices and browsers.

Our Commitment

We aim to provide a website that is inclusive and straightforward to navigate for the broadest audience. Accessibility considerations are built into our content planning, design decisions, and development practices so users can read guides, watch how-to videos, and compare detailing products without unnecessary barriers.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) outline best practices for improving web content accessibility and define three levels of conformance: A, AA, and AAA.

AutoDetailPedia is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Partially conformant” indicates that while many accessibility features are in place, some content or components may not yet fully meet the standard. We actively track issues and work to enhance compliance over time.

Measures to Support Accessibility

AutoDetailPedia supports accessibility through the following measures:

  • Embedding accessibility in our workflow: Accessibility is considered during content creation, design, development, and ongoing maintenance of our detailing guides and product resources.
  • Quality assurance and testing: We use automated tools and manual reviews to detect barriers, including checks for keyboard navigation, color contrast, captions, and alt text for images such as before-and-after detailing photos.
  • Team awareness and training: Contributors are provided guidance on producing accessible articles, videos, and downloadable checklists.
  • Defined accountability: Designated team members monitor accessibility feedback and lead remediation efforts.
