Accessibility

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA across the public site, the dashboard, and the state-filing guides. This is an aspiration we work toward, not a guarantee that every surface meets it today.

What we do

  • Semantic HTML (real headings, lists, landmarks) so screen readers can navigate.
  • Keyboard-reachable interactive elements with visible focus rings.
  • Color contrast targets WCAG AA on body text. Where colour carries meaning (e.g. status pills) we pair it with text.
  • Plain-language compliance copy — no jargon where a shorter word works.

Known limitations

Some PDF forms we link out to (state-agency originals) are scanned images and are not screen-reader-accessible at the source. Where we can offer a fillable replacement, we do; where we can’t, we link to the agency original and flag the limitation in the state guide.
