Assessment approach

We assess the accessibility of michiganfootdoctors.com through a combination of automated tools (Lighthouse, axe, WAVE), manual keyboard-only testing, and periodic screen reader testing on new page templates. Pages built on our current GenerateBlocks framework are tested before publication; older legacy pages are reviewed and remediated on an ongoing schedule.

Third-party content

Some content embedded from third parties (YouTube videos, Google Maps, online booking) may not fully meet our accessibility standards. We select vendors who are publicly committed to accessibility, and we provide alternative ways to access the same information (phone number, written directions, printed intake forms) for any third-party tool.

Formal complaints

If informal feedback does not resolve your concern, you may contact our Privacy Officer at info@michiganfootdoctors.com or file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.
