♿ Accessibility Statement

AccessCheck is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

We believe that everyone should have equal access to information and functionality, regardless of their abilities or the technologies they use to access the web.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

AccessCheck is designed to be partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Current Conformance Level: WCAG 2.1 Level AA (Partial)

Target Conformance Level: WCAG 2.1 Level AA (Full) by Q1 2026

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard

• Screen Reader Support: Proper ARIA labels and semantic HTML

• Color Contrast: Meets WCAG AA standards (minimum 4.5:1 ratio)

• Responsive Design: Works on various screen sizes and devices

• Focus Indicators: Visible focus states on all interactive elements

• Alternative Text: Images include descriptive alt text

• Form Labels: All form fields have associated labels

• Skip Links: Quick navigation to main content areas

• Error Identification: Clear error messages and validation

• Consistent Navigation: Predictable and consistent UI patterns

We are aware of the following accessibility issues and are working to resolve them:

• Some third-party components (Stripe Pricing Table, Clerk authentication) may not be fully accessible

• Complex data tables may require additional screen reader support

• Some animations may cause motion sensitivity for certain users

• PDF export functionality may not preserve all accessibility features

We are actively working to address these issues and improve our accessibility compliance.

AccessCheck is designed to work with the following assistive technologies:

Screen Readers:

• NVDA (Windows)

• JAWS (Windows)

• VoiceOver (macOS, iOS)

• TalkBack (Android)

Other Technologies:

• Voice recognition software

• Screen magnification software

• Alternative input devices (switch access, eye tracking)

• Browser text-to-speech extensions

Some content on AccessCheck is provided by third-party services:

• Clerk (Authentication): We use Clerk for user authentication. Their accessibility statement: https://clerk.com/accessibility

• Stripe (Payments): We use Stripe for payment processing. Their accessibility statement: https://stripe.com/legal/accessibility

While we strive to work with accessible third-party providers, we cannot guarantee their full compliance with accessibility standards.

We regularly test AccessCheck for accessibility using:

Automated Testing:

• Axe-core accessibility engine (same tool we provide to users)

• Lighthouse accessibility audits

• WAVE browser extension

Manual Testing:

• Keyboard-only navigation testing

• Screen reader testing (NVDA, VoiceOver)

• Color contrast validation

• Zoom and text resize testing

User Testing:
