Accessibility

Our commitment

Burbank Ammo & Guns wants every customer to be able to use this website — to check hours, browse consignment listings, ask a question and start a transfer — regardless of disability. Accessibility is treated as part of building the site, not as something added at the end.

Conformance status

This website conforms to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. Conformance means the site has been measured against the guideline’s success criteria and meets them.

The mark in the footer of every page links here. See W3C's explanation of a WCAG 2.1 level AA conformance claim for what that level covers.

This is a self-assessment. WCAG conformance is always declared by the site owner — the W3C does not certify or verify claims, and no organisation issues an official “ADA compliant” certificate for a website. What we can tell you is exactly how the claim was tested, which is below.

How it was tested

Testing was carried out in August 2026 against every public page, in four passes:

• Automated scanning. axe-core, run against all pages at twelve viewport widths from 320px to 1600px, including with dialogs open, the mobile menu open and every FAQ answer expanded. Automated tools only cover part of the guidelines, so they were the starting point rather than the evidence.
• Manual criteria. Keyboard operation of every control, tab order, focus visibility, the accessibility tree that screen readers read from, text resizing and text-spacing overrides, status message announcements, page structure and language.
• Colour measurement. Contrast was measured on the rendered pixels rather than on the stylesheet, so text sitting over photographs was checked against the actual image behind each character, at every layout width.
• Independent review. A separate reviewer was then asked to disprove the claim rather than confirm it. It found four genuine failures — low-contrast labels over the hero photograph, form field borders below the required 3:1, a focus indicator that was invisible on the photo upload control, and a promotions dialog whose entire content was an image of text. All four were fixed and re-tested.

These checks now run as an automated suite before any change is published, so the claim stays true as the site changes rather than describing one moment in time.

What this means in practice

• Every page can be operated entirely by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator on every control and a skip link to jump past the navigation.
• Dialogs and the mobile menu keep keyboard focus inside them, close with Escape, and return focus to whatever opened them.
• Text and controls meet AA contrast, including over photographs. Text can be resized to 200% and the layout reflows to a 320px viewport without horizontal scrolling or loss of content.
• Animation is restrained by default and removed entirely if your system is set to reduce motion.
• Every page still works, and all content remains readable, if JavaScript does not load.
• Forms have real labels, mark required fields visibly as well as programmatically, identify errors and move focus to the field that needs attention. Drag-and-drop photo upload has a full keyboard alternative.

Known limitations

We would rather tell you what has not been covered than imply everything has:

• Physical screen reader testing. The site was audited through the browser accessibility tree, which is what NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver read from, but it has not yet been driven end to end with those programs by a person who uses one daily. That testing is planned.
• Third-party content. Google reviews and Instagram posts are supplied by those services. We control how they are presented and labelled; we do not control the wording that arrives.
• Promotional artwork. Promotional flyers are supplied as images. The offer is also written out as text on the page and in the dialog, so nothing is available only inside an image — but the artwork itself is not readable by a screen reader.
• Consignment listing photographs are supplied by the store and by the owners of consigned items. Alt text is generated to describe what each photograph shows and whether it is a reference image rather than the item itself.

Compatibility

The site is built to work with current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile, with the screen reader and magnification tools built into those platforms. It does not depend on any accessibility overlay or plugin — those are not used on this site.

Tell us if something does not work

If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, please tell us. We treat it as a fault to be fixed, and you do not need to explain why or describe your disability.

Please include the page address and a short description of what happened. We aim to respond within five business days, and to fix confirmed barriers as a priority.
