Accessibility Statement

Our WCAG 2.2 AA commitment for this site, what we have tested, and what is still outstanding.

Last updated

We build accessible products for clients, so this site is held to the same standard.

Conformance

uxatom.com targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We believe it currently meets that standard, with the known exceptions listed below.

What we have done

Semantic structure. One <h1> per page, headings in order, landmark regions, and lists marked up as lists. Every page starts with a skip link to the main content.

Keyboard. Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard. Menus, dialogs and the mobile navigation trap focus while open, close on Escape, and return focus to the control that opened them. Focus indicators are visible against every background we use.

Contrast. Body and interface text meets 4.5:1 against its background; large text and non-text indicators meet 3:1. A higher-contrast variant is applied automatically when the OS reports prefers-contrast: more.

Motion. All animation is decorative and is disabled entirely under prefers-reduced-motion: reduce. No content is revealed only through animation — scroll-triggered content is present and readable without it.

Forms. Every input has a persistent visible label, errors are announced via role="alert" and linked with aria-describedby, and no field relies on a placeholder as its label.

Colour. No information is conveyed by colour alone. Status indicators pair colour with a shape and a text label.

Zoom and reflow. Content reflows without horizontal scrolling to 320px width, and remains usable at 200% zoom. Wide elements such as tables and code blocks scroll within their own container rather than the page.

Themes. Both dark and light themes are tested for contrast. The theme respects your OS preference and can be overridden.

How we test

  • Automated checks in CI (axe-core) on every pull request
  • Manual keyboard-only traversal of each page before release
  • Screen reader passes with VoiceOver (Safari) and NVDA (Firefox)
  • Zoom and reflow at 320px and 200%

Known issues

  • Syntax-highlighted code blocks. Some token colours in article code samples fall slightly below 4.5:1. We are adjusting the theme; the surrounding prose is unaffected.
  • Marquee logo strip. The logo cloud animates horizontally. It pauses on hover and stops entirely under reduced motion, but it is not currently pausable via a visible control.

Both are scheduled for the next release.
