Built for everyone
Accessibility & Credits
This site works with a screen reader, with a keyboard alone, and with the page zoomed in. It's designed and built to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the standard behind the Americans with Disabilities Act's expectations for the web.
What that means here
- Every image, button, and link carries a descriptive label, so screen readers announce exactly what things are.
- The whole site works with a keyboard alone — a visible focus outline shows where you are, and a skip link jumps straight to the content.
- Pop-ups like the photo viewer keep keyboard focus contained and hand it back when closed.
- Animations are disabled automatically for visitors who set "reduce motion" on their device.
- Color is never the only signal, and text contrast meets the WCAG AA bar throughout.
- Videos load only when you press play — nothing moves or makes noise on its own.
Something not working?
If something here doesn't work with your screen reader, your keyboard, or whatever you browse with, that's a problem on our end. Email sales@cncmfg.com with the page and what went wrong, and we'll fix it.

Findable — SEO without the tracking
Being easy to find — the work usually called search-engine optimization, or SEO — and respecting your privacy aren't at odds. This site is built so search engines can understand it and shared links look right, while it still sets zero tracking cookies and runs no analytics.
- Every page is real, static HTML with its own title and description, so search engines read and list it accurately — no JavaScript needed to see the content.
- The site publishes structured business data — name, address, phone, hours, and founding year — in the standard format search engines read for business and map listings.
- An XML sitemap points search engines to every public page, and each page declares its canonical address so nothing competes with itself for ranking.
- The main pages kept the exact addresses they had on the old site — /about/, /our-capabilities/, /equipment/, /quality-assurance/, /gallery/, /press/, /jobs/, /contact/ — so bookmarks, printed links, and the search standing built on them land right where they always did.
- Shared links unfurl into a branded preview card — logo, what we do, and “AS9100D certified” — on iMessage, Slack, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
- It’s fast and mobile-friendly: static hosting on a global CDN, images optimized automatically, and fonts served from the site itself — the things search engines reward.
It all rides on open standards — Schema.org, Open Graph, and XML Sitemaps — so any search engine or social platform reads the site the same way, with no proprietary tie to any of them.
What about cookies?
We don't use them. This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics — plain and simple. And that costs nothing in how easily this shop turns up in a search: search engines rank a site on the content they can crawl and the structured data it publishes, not on cookies. It just means no profile of the people who visit is ever built.
