Accessibility
Newton & Carter LLC
Accessible services require evidence. We publish our standard, assessment coverage, document alternatives and a direct way to report a barrier.
Our accessibility standard
Our target is WCAG 2.2 Level AA across the website, interactive demonstrations, films and downloadable documents. We test with automated tools and manual checks, then record the results and remaining work for the specific version evaluated.
Assessment record
The November 9, 2026 review covers the rebuilt site, including its navigation, project carousels, animated illustrations, interactive demonstrations and public downloads. The assessment records automated results separately from keyboard, reflow, text spacing, media and document checks. A complete Trusted Tester evaluation and assistive-technology acceptance remain open; an automated score is not a conformance determination.
Read the November 9 accessibility assessment and test coverage
Our WCAG 2.2 AA target includes the newer requirements for reflow, text spacing, focus, pointer targets and accessible interactions. The DHS Trusted Tester process is a separate manual Section 508 test method. The current record identifies checks still requiring that process and human review.
Inspect the current authored-PDF machine-validation record. Human document and assistive-technology acceptance remain separate checks.
Credentials
Christopher Carter, Founder, holds the DHS Trusted Tester for Web on Windows credential. His training and certification records are available below, with HTML transcripts alongside the issuer PDFs. These individual credentials do not certify this website.
This is a course completion certificate for the Section 508 Awareness course. It is not the DHS Trusted Tester certification; that certification is a separate track, and the founder earned it — Trusted Tester for Web on Windows, certified November 2, 2026.
Documents and media
The capability statement is available as a web page and a tagged PDF. The portfolio field guide has an HTML version and a tagged PDF. The current portfolio walkthroughs are nine silent recordings of captured application screens. Each has native playback controls, an adjacent summary, timed visual-description steps and an English visual-description track. Human review of visual equivalence and assistive-technology usability remains open.
On November 10, 2026, the five current authored or repaired PDFs were checked again with veraPDF 1.30.4 using its PDF/UA-1 profile. All five passed that machine profile and matched the file hashes in the published validation record. The nine walkthrough tracks were checked for timing and source-label consistency. These checks do not establish human document acceptance, complete screen-reader usability or site conformance.
The November 9 assessment describes the earlier site version. Its audio-description notes concern the cinematic films and interactive reels then presented, which have been replaced on the portfolio walkthrough page. The replacement media and later interface changes require their own affected checks; the earlier results are not a current-version conformance determination.
Earlier assessment
The November 2 report evaluates an earlier website version. Its results do not describe the rebuilt site. The original PDF is retained as an archived assessment (PDF, untagged), with a complete HTML transcript of the historical report. It is not the current conformance record; the HTML transcript provides a readable alternative to the original archive.
Tell us what breaks for you
If any part of this site is hard for you to use — with a screen reader, a keyboard, magnification, or anything else — email chris@newtonandcarter.com. That inbox is read by the founder. Tell us the page and what happened, and we will treat it as a defect, not a suggestion.
About this statement
Statement updated November 10, 2026. Evaluation results apply to the version and environments recorded in the assessment. Changes to pages, components and downloads require the affected checks to be run again before a conformance claim is issued.
