Accessibility Policy
Lifetime Enclosures is committed to making our website accessible to everyone by following internationally recognized standards and U.S. regulations, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We design to WCAG 2.1 Level AA today and are preparing for WCAG 3.0 as it matures. Our site also aligns with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act to ensure comparable access across federal digital content. We conduct regular automated and manual audits—leveraging tools like axe-core and the A11Y Project checklist—and welcome your feedback to continuously improve.
Our Commitment
Lifetime Enclosures is dedicated to inclusive design and will continually work to remove barriers so that our digital services are usable by people with disabilities.
