Accessibility Statement
Accessibility is the reason this organization exists, so it isn't something we bolt on at the end. This statement explains where we stand, how we test, and what to do if something on this site gets in your way.
Conformance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. This site aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and our own testing currently finds no known Level A or Level AA failures on the public pages.
This is a self-assessment, not a third-party certification. No organization "certifies" a website as WCAG compliant in any legally binding way, so we describe our status honestly rather than displaying a certification seal. An independent audit is planned before onboarding opens.
How we test
- Automated audits with axe-core against WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2 A and AA rule sets on every public page.
- Keyboard-only walkthroughs: tab order, visible focus, skip link, no keyboard traps.
- Structural review: one
h1per page, ordered headings, semantic landmarks, labelled form fields. - Contrast checks against our design tokens, targeting AA (4.5:1 body text) at minimum.
- Responsive and zoom checks to 200% without loss of content or function.
Accessibility features on this site
- A "Skip to content" link as the first focusable element on the homepage.
- Text alternatives on meaningful images; decorative icons hidden from screen readers.
- Every form field has a visible, programmatically associated label.
- Status messages (like the waitlist confirmation) are announced via live regions.
- Interactive controls meet or exceed the 44×44 px target size guidance on touch devices.
- Full keyboard operability with visible focus indicators throughout.
- Layout and colors are never the sole means of conveying information.
Known limitations
- Some small supporting text (eyebrow labels, fine print) meets AA contrast but not the stricter AAA threshold. We are gradually raising these.
- Social media links in the footer are placeholders while the site is in demo mode.
- The administrative console is an internal tool and has not yet been through the same full review as the public site.
Feedback and reporting a barrier
If you hit something that doesn't work for you, tell us — we treat accessibility reports as bugs, not suggestions. Email info@inclusionforward.com with the page address and what happened. We aim to respond within five business days.
