ConcreteCreek.com is committed to making its calculators, converters, guides, tables and educational content usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including people who use assistive technologies, keyboard navigation, screen magnification, voice input or alternative browsing settings.
Accessibility is an ongoing part of how we design, review and improve ConcreteCreek.com.
We aim to design and maintain ConcreteCreek.com with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 in mind, targeting Level AA where reasonably achievable across our website. WCAG is developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and organises accessibility around four broad principles: content should be perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.
Our goal is practical accessibility rather than simply checking technical boxes. That means working to make calculators understandable without relying only on colour, keeping form labels clear, presenting headings in a logical order, supporting keyboard interaction, providing readable text and ensuring content remains usable across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
We recognise that accessibility needs vary from person to person and that WCAG cannot address every possible user need. If part of ConcreteCreek.com is difficult for you to use, we welcome feedback so we can investigate the problem and look for a reasonable solution or alternative format.
This statement describes our accessibility goals and practices. It is not a formal third-party certification or a guarantee that every page, feature, downloadable file, external resource or third-party component currently satisfies every WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criterion.
We use recognised accessibility guidance to inform website design, content structure and ongoing improvements.
We use the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 as our primary technical accessibility reference and aim toward Level AA.
We consider Australian Human Rights Commission guidance on equal access to digital goods and services when reviewing accessibility priorities.
We try to address accessibility while pages and tools are being designed rather than relying only on fixes after publication.
We work to use meaningful headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and section labels so users can understand the hierarchy of a page. This also helps people who navigate using screen-reader heading lists or other assistive technology.
Interactive website controls are intended to be reachable and operable without requiring a mouse. We aim to preserve visible focus states so keyboard users can identify the currently active link, control or form element.
Calculator and converter fields are designed with visible labels, unit indicators and supporting instructions. Where a tool has multiple calculation modes, we aim to make the selected mode and result understandable through text rather than colour alone.
ConcreteCreek.com uses a cream, teal, gold and dark-text design system. We work to maintain readable foreground/background contrast and avoid relying on subtle colour differences as the only way to communicate important information.
Pages are designed to adapt to desktop, tablet and mobile widths. Tables may use horizontal scrolling on smaller screens when displaying all columns at once would otherwise make text unreadably small.
Informative diagrams and visual elements are intended to include meaningful text alternatives or surrounding explanations. Decorative icons are generally used to reinforce visible labels rather than carry essential information by themselves.
Concrete calculations can involve unfamiliar units, geometry and construction terminology. We try to pair formulas with practical descriptions, examples, unit labels and written explanations so users are not required to interpret equations without context.
We aim to use descriptive link text that explains the destination or purpose of the link instead of relying only on vague labels such as “click here.” External references are identified through their context and usually open the relevant official resource.
ConcreteCreek.com does not intentionally depend on flashing content or unnecessary auto-playing animation for essential information. Where smooth scrolling or similar visual effects are used, they are not intended to prevent users from reaching the underlying content.
ConcreteCreek.com includes concrete calculators, area and volume converters, cost tools and other interactive utilities. Accessibility is particularly important on these pages because a user needs to understand both the input process and the result.
Numeric fields are intended to have visible labels and units so a user can distinguish metres from millimetres, square metres from cubic metres and quantities from percentages or prices.
Where an empty field displays a visual zero placeholder, that placeholder is not intended to replace the visible field label. Typed numbers remain visible and the field can be cleared without relying on placeholder text to explain its purpose.
Calculator outputs are intended to be displayed as selectable/readable text with clearly named result categories such as volume, quantity, cost or converted unit. Users should not have to interpret a chart or colour alone to obtain the core answer.
We work to prevent hidden defaults and confusing automatic entries where practical. When a calculator requires a product-specific value, supplier price or yield, we prefer explicit user input or explanatory guidance rather than silently inventing a value.
ConcreteCreek.com contains a growing collection of calculators, long-form guides, tables, diagrams, downloadable PDFs and links to external technical resources. Some content or third-party components may present accessibility limitations.
PDFs generated by calculator tools may not provide the same accessibility, reflow or screen-reader experience as the HTML result shown on the web page. If a generated PDF is difficult to use, the on-page result should be treated as the primary accessible version.
Large technical tables can require horizontal scrolling on smaller screens. We aim to preserve table headings and logical reading order, but very wide data sets may still be more difficult to navigate with some assistive technologies.
Some construction diagrams use SVG graphics. We aim to provide descriptive labels or equivalent surrounding text, but complex spatial relationships may still be easier to understand visually than through the current text alternative.
Some features, such as client-side PDF generation, can depend on external software libraries. We do not control every accessibility characteristic of those third-party components.
ConcreteCreek.com links to supplier, manufacturer, government and technical-reference websites. We cannot control the accessibility of external sites or files once you leave ConcreteCreek.com.
Some pages may contain issues that have not yet been identified during our ongoing accessibility review. New tools and templates may also need refinement after real-world feedback.
If one of these limitations prevents you from getting information you need, please use the feedback process below. Tell us the page and the content or feature you were trying to use so we can investigate the most useful alternative.
ConcreteCreek.com is designed using modern HTML, CSS and JavaScript and is intended to work with current mainstream browsers on desktop and mobile devices. Accessibility can vary depending on the combination of browser, operating system, screen reader, magnification software, voice-control tool and user settings.
Older browsers may not support modern accessibility features consistently. Keeping your browser and assistive technology up to date can improve support for semantic HTML, focus handling, form controls and responsive layouts.
The site is designed to remain usable when browser zoom or device text size is increased, although some wide tables may need horizontal scrolling. If zoom causes a layout problem on a specific page, please report that page to us.
We aim to avoid overriding user settings unnecessarily. Browser, operating-system or assistive-technology colour and contrast modes can alter the way the site appears, and some third-party components may respond differently from the main site design.
If you cannot access information on ConcreteCreek.com in its current format, contact us and tell us what you need. Where reasonably possible, we will try to provide the essential information in another usable form, such as plain text, simplified text, an accessible HTML explanation or another practical alternative.
When requesting an alternative format, please include the page title or URL, the information you need and the format or accessibility adjustment that would help. You do not need to provide unnecessary medical or personal information to describe an accessibility problem.
We welcome accessibility feedback. If you encounter a barrier, a keyboard problem, missing label, unreadable contrast, inaccessible table, confusing calculator result, unsuitable PDF or another issue, please tell us through our contact page.
Please include the page or tool name, the web address if available, a short description of what went wrong, the device/browser or assistive technology involved if you are comfortable providing it, and what outcome would make the information usable for you.
We use accessibility feedback to prioritise fixes and template improvements. Some issues can be corrected quickly; others may require changes to shared components, third-party software or a larger group of pages.
Accessibility is not a one-time project. ConcreteCreek.com grows as new calculators, converters, guides and location pages are added, so accessibility review needs to continue with that growth.
When we identify an issue in a shared page component—such as form labelling, focus visibility, responsive tables or result presentation—we aim to correct the underlying template so future pages benefit from the same improvement.
We review headings, descriptive links, table structure, explanatory text and visual diagrams as pages are created or updated. Accessibility feedback may also prompt review of related pages using the same layout.
Automated accessibility tools can identify some technical problems, but they cannot determine every real-world barrier. Feedback from people using different browsers, devices and assistive technologies is an important part of ongoing improvement.
Accessibility standards and supporting guidance evolve. W3C currently recommends using the latest WCAG 2 version when developing or updating accessibility policies. We may revise this statement and our target as standards and website technology change.
The Australian Human Rights Commission's 2025 Guidelines on equal access to digital goods and services identify WCAG as an important digital-accessibility benchmark and recommend that organisations conform with WCAG 2.2 at a minimum Level AA while also considering relevant Level AAA criteria where appropriate.
The Commission's guidance is intended to help organisations provide equal access to digital goods and services and understand obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992. ConcreteCreek.com uses this guidance as an accessibility reference, but this statement is not legal advice and should not be interpreted as a legal opinion about compliance in a particular situation.
