Accessibility Statement

How this site approaches accessibility, what it conforms to, what's known to be imperfect, and how to flag anything we missed.

Effective: 2026-05-13 · Last reviewed: 2026-05-13

Conformance target

This site aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard cited by the EU Accessibility Act, the ADA's Title III website guidance, and most US state procurement requirements.

Where the site falls short, the goal is to identify and remediate. This page documents the current state honestly rather than claiming perfection.

What we've implemented

  • Skip-to-content link on every page (keyboard-only navigation skips the global header).
  • Semantic landmarks (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>) for screen-reader navigation.
  • lang="en" declared on every page so screen readers use the correct pronunciation engine.
  • Viewport meta does not block pinch-to-zoom — low-vision users can enlarge content as needed.
  • Color tokens chosen to meet WCAG AA contrast thresholds (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and UI components).
  • Visible focus indicators on interactive elements.
  • Alt text on meaningful images; decorative images and icons marked aria-hidden="true".
  • Forms have associated <label> elements and clear error messaging.

Known limitations

Current known issues being tracked for remediation:

  • Automated audits via axe-core run on each release; manual assistive-technology testing (screen readers, voice control) is not yet part of every release.
  • Dashboard surfaces (data tables, complex forms) are reviewed less frequently than the marketing pages.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier not listed here, please tell us — see Contact below.

Assistive technology tested with

  • Keyboard-only navigation (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space).
  • 200% browser zoom.
  • System dark mode (the site uses a dark theme by default).
  • Automated WCAG checks via axe-core (any serious or critical findings fail our internal CI).

How to report an accessibility issue

Formal complaints
