Accessibility
This site is built to be used by everyone.
Not with a widget bolted on top. In the markup, where it counts.
The standard we hold
We target WCAG 2.2, level AA, the standard US courts and the Department of Justice have consistently pointed at for websites. We build to it from the start, because retrofitting accessibility costs more and works worse.
How we test it
- Automated, on every build. An axe-core scan runs against every page at WCAG 2.2 AA and fails the build on a single violation. It is not a report somebody files. It is a gate.
- Keyboard only. Every control is reachable and operable without a mouse, focus is always visible, and focus order follows the page.
- Screen reader. Real labels, real headings, and status messages that are announced rather than merely shown.
- Zoom and reflow. Readable at 200% without horizontal scrolling.
- Reduced motion. If your system asks for less animation, the site gives you less animation.
Automated tools catch roughly a third of accessibility problems. We say so plainly, because anyone who tells you a scan proves compliance is selling you something.
Why there is no accessibility widget
You will not find a floating accessibility button on this site, and that is on purpose.
- Overlay widgets do not fix the code underneath. They sit on top of it, and they frequently interfere with the screen readers and assistive technology people already use and prefer.
- In the first half of 2025, 22.6% of all US web accessibility lawsuits targeted sites that had an overlay installed. The widget is not a shield. It is a flag.
- The Federal Trade Commission brought an enforcement action against a leading overlay vendor in 2025 over deceptive compliance claims, and the National Federation of the Blind has publicly denounced them.
The same reason you hired us
A widget that claims to make a site accessible without changing the site is the same species of thing as a plugin that claims to make a practice HIPAA compliant without changing anything. We tell you not to buy that one. We are not going to buy this one.
