Accessibility Statement

​

Rafter C Ranch and Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGDs)
Effective Date: 1-28-26

Rafter C Ranch and Livestock Guardian Dogs (“Rafter C Ranch,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. We believe accessibility is an ongoing responsibility and are continually working to improve the usability and accessibility of our digital content.

Accessibility Standards and Legal Framework

Rafter C Ranch strives, where reasonably practicable, to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

In addition, this website is intended to align with:

  • Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in places of public accommodation, including certain online services; and

  • Applicable accessibility expectations under Texas law, including the Texas Human Resources Code and related civil rights statutes, to the extent they apply to digital content.

While no specific technical standards have been formally adopted by the U.S. Department of Justice for website accessibility, WCAG 2.1 Level AA is widely recognized as an appropriate benchmark, and we use it as a guiding framework.

Accessibility Features

Where feasible, the Rafter C Ranch website incorporates accessibility-focused practices, including:

  • Clear and consistent navigation

  • Logical heading structure to support screen readers

  • Sufficient color contrast for text and background elements

  • Alternative text for meaningful images

  • Keyboard-accessible navigation for core site functionality

  • Responsive design for use across devices and screen sizes

Limitations and Ongoing Efforts

Despite our efforts, some content may not yet fully meet accessibility standards due to:

  • Legacy or archived materials

  • Third-party platforms, plugins, or embedded content

  • Technical or operational constraints

Accessibility improvements are ongoing, and we regularly review our website to identify opportunities for enhancement.
