Accessibility Statement
Last reviewed: 7 July 2026. This statement applies to the website at app.thewcag.com and the TheWCAG desktop application.
Our commitment
Accessibility is our product, so it has to be our practice. We build TheWCAG to help teams meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and we hold our own website and app to the same standard. We are committed to making our services usable by everyone, regardless of ability or assistive technology.
Conformance status
The WCAG defines requirements to improve accessibility for people with disabilities at three levels: A, AA, and AAA. Our target for both the website and the desktop app is WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
The website is substantially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA: it meets the standard except where noted under Known limitations below.
Measures we take
- Semantic HTML with correct landmark, heading, and list structure.
- Visible keyboard focus indicators and a fully keyboard-operable interface.
- Text and interface colors tested to meet AA contrast (4.5:1 text, 3:1 UI), in both light and dark themes.
- Respect for the operating system's reduced-motion and color-scheme preferences.
- Alternative text on meaningful images and labels on all form controls.
- Responsive layouts that reflow to 320px without loss of content or horizontal scrolling.
Compatibility
The website is designed to work with recent versions of major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and common screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS). It is not designed to support browsers more than two major versions old.
Known limitations
Despite our efforts, some limitations may remain. We are actively working on these:
- Public share pages render a user-supplied screenshot image; the accessibility of that image's content is determined by its author, not by us. The surrounding page, findings list, and controls are accessible.
- Third-party sign-in emails are delivered by our email provider and may not fully match our contrast choices.
How we assessed this
We evaluate accessibility through a combination of self-evaluation, automated checks in our build pipeline, manual keyboard and screen-reader testing, and the same contrast and color-vision tooling that TheWCAG provides. This statement was created on 7 July 2026 and is reviewed when the site materially changes.
Feedback
We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of TheWCAG. If you encounter a barrier, or need content in a different format, please tell us:
- Open an issue on our GitHub tracker (the fastest way to reach us).
- Email accessibility@thewcag.com.
We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within five business days.
