Accessibility
A site anyone can use to search, read and reach me.
Whether you browse with a keyboard, a screen reader, zoom, voice control or a phone in one hand, the listings, the building records and the market numbers on this site should work for you.

The standard
This page says what the site aims for, how it is checked, where it still falls short, and how to tell me when something gets in your way.
The target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, the current standard published by the W3C. The site does not fully meet it yet. The gaps I know about are listed further down, and they are worked on in the order people are most likely to run into them.
How the site is built
- KeyboardMenus, filters, tabs, galleries and forms are built from real buttons, links and form fields, with a visible focus ring. A "Skip to content" link is the first stop on every page, and open menus and dialogs close with Escape.
- MotionHero videos and the home slider have a pause button, and pausing holds for the rest of your visit. If your device asks for reduced motion, videos do not autoplay and animations are turned off. Videos also stay off on Save-Data and slow connections.
- ReadingText is set to meet the AA contrast ratio, links inside sentences are underlined, and pages reflow on a phone without sideways scrolling. Numbers use one typeface with even figures so columns line up.
- StructureEach page has one main heading, labelled navigation and breadcrumb landmarks, labels on form fields and on icon-only buttons, and chart marks that carry their value as text for screen readers.
- ImagesPhotos that carry information have descriptions; decorative ones are hidden from screen readers. Images made with an AI tool are labelled "Illustration" so they are never mistaken for a real property.
- NumbersMarket figures state how many sales or leases they are based on and the date of the data, so the context is in the text and not only in a chart.
How it is checked
Changes are checked before they are published. An automated test runs the open-source axe-core accessibility engine on about 30 representative pages (home, services, search, listings, condo buildings and neighborhoods, rentals, articles, market data and tools) at a desktop width and a phone width, and also checks headings, page width on a phone, layout shift, broken images and console errors on every one of them.
Automated tools catch only part of what matters to a person using assistive technology. That is why reports from visitors are the most useful check of all.
Where it falls short today
- MapsThe maps on search, CondoHub, PreDevHub and the neighborhood pages are easiest with a mouse or touch. Every building and listing on a map is also in the list next to it, which works fully with a keyboard and a screen reader.
- Drawing an area"Draw an area" on the CondoHub and PreDevHub maps needs a drag. You get the same results without dragging from the neighborhood filters, the search box and the list view.
- Listing photosPhotos of homes for sale come from the Miami MLS without descriptions. They are labelled by photo number, and the facts about each home are written out on the listing page.
- Older one-off pagesA few pages built for single listings before the current design have not been reviewed against this standard yet.
- Other sitesWhatsApp, the MLS, map tiles and the public records linked from building pages are run by others, and their accessibility is outside my control.
Tell me what got in your way
If any part of the site is hard to use, tell me the page and what you were trying to do. I will get you the information another way (a call, a text, an email with the details written out) and work on fixing the page.
