Accessibility at CursorCraft
At CursorCraft, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a user-friendly experience that adheres to accessibility standards and best practices.
Our Accessibility Goals
Our goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website and welcome feedback from users.
Keyboard Navigation
We have designed our website to be fully navigable using a keyboard. This means that users who cannot use a mouse or other pointing device can still access all content and functionality on our site.
- Use the Tab key to move forward through interactive elements.
- Use Shift + Tab to move backward.
- Use the Enter key to activate links and buttons.
- Use the Arrow keys to navigate within menus and lists.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Our website is designed to be compatible with screen reader software. We use semantic HTML to ensure that content is structured in a way that is easily understood by screen readers.
We also provide alternative text descriptions for all images, allowing screen reader users to understand the content of the images. We regularly test our website with popular screen readers, such as NVDA and VoiceOver, to ensure compatibility and identify any potential issues.
For optimal screen reader experience:
- Ensure your screen reader is up-to-date.
- Use a modern browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
- Refer to your screen reader's documentation for specific keyboard commands and settings.
Color Contrast
We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background. This makes it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read the content on our website.
We strive to maintain a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, as recommended by WCAG 2.1. Our design team uses color contrast analyzers during the development process to verify that our color choices meet these standards.
Font Sizing
Users can easily adjust the font size on our website to suit their individual needs. Most browsers allow users to increase or decrease the text size using keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl + + or Ctrl + - on Windows, Cmd + + or Cmd + - on Mac) or through browser settings.
We use relative font sizes (e.g., em, rem) to ensure that text scales proportionally when the font size is changed. This helps to maintain the layout and readability of our website, even at larger font sizes.
Images and Alternative Text
All images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text). This text provides a textual description of the image, which is useful for screen reader users and users who have images disabled in their browser settings. Our alt text is concise and accurately conveys the content and purpose of the image.
For example, instead of using alt text like "image" or "photo," we use more descriptive text, such as "CursorCraft logo featuring a stylized cursor icon."
Forms
We have designed our forms to be accessible to all users. All form fields have clear labels that are associated with the corresponding input elements. We also provide error messages that are easy to understand and that help users correct any mistakes they may have made.
We use ARIA attributes to provide additional information about form fields, such as whether a field is required or whether it has a specific input format. This helps screen reader users understand the purpose and requirements of each form field.
Assistive Technologies Testing
CursorCraft regularly tests its website and content for accessibility using a combination of automated tools and manual testing methods. We employ a dedicated accessibility specialist, Anya Petrova, who works with assistive technologies to ensure optimal performance and identify any potential issues.
We are committed to addressing any accessibility issues that are identified during testing and to making continuous improvements to our website.
Feedback
We welcome feedback from users about the accessibility of our website. If you encounter any accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us at accessibility@cursorcraft.com or call us at (415) 555-0123. Our office is located at 555 Market Street, Suite 100, San Francisco, CA 94105.
Our team, led by Dmitri Volkov, Head of User Experience, is dedicated to addressing your concerns and making our website as accessible as possible. We appreciate your help in making CursorCraft a better experience for everyone.
