Accessibility Statement

We hold ourselves to the standard we sell.

TheAccessible.Org builds tools that bring documents and websites to WCAG 2.1 AA — the DOJ Title II standard. This page is our own conformance report: what we test, how we test it, and what the latest results are. We publish it because we ask you to trust our audits, so you should be able to see ours.

Conformance summary

Standard: WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the technical standard adopted by the DOJ’s ADA Title II rule
Scope: theaccessible.org and the product sites it links to
Status: Conformant — self-assessed with automated and manual testing
Last evaluated: July 5, 2026

Latest evaluation results

We test our own pages with the same audit engine we sell: axe-core running in a real browser against every WCAG 2.1 A and AA rule, in light and dark mode, followed by manual review of everything automation can’t judge.

WCAG 2.1 AA violations

Across all automated rule checks, in both light and dark mode.

Rule groups passing

Including color contrast, ARIA usage, keyboard focus, landmarks, and form labeling.

Items verified by hand

Icon-only elements and text over gradients that automated tooling defers to human review.

Manual checks in every review

Full keyboard operation of every page — navigation, dialogs, forms, and skip links
Screen reader review of landmarks, headings, and announcements (VoiceOver)
Color contrast of text over gradients and imagery, in light and dark mode
Touch-target size of at least 44×44 px for all interactive elements
Reduced-motion rendering with prefers-reduced-motion enabled

How we meet each WCAG principle

Perceivable: All images carry alt text (or are marked decorative), color contrast meets or exceeds 4.5:1 for body text, content reflows at 400% zoom, and nothing relies on color alone.
Operable: Every feature works with a keyboard alone. Pages provide skip links, visible focus indicators, and descriptive titles. Animations respect reduced-motion preferences.
Understandable: Pages declare their language, navigation is consistent across the site, form inputs are labeled, and errors are described in text.
Robust: Semantic HTML first; ARIA only where semantics fall short. All ARIA attributes validate against their roles.

Limitations and feedback

Automated tooling can verify only part of WCAG — the rest requires human judgement, and humans miss things. If you encounter an accessibility barrier anywhere on our sites or in our tools, we want to know about it, and we will fix it.
