Accessibility statement
We fix accessibility problems on contractor sites for a living, so we hold our own site to the same standard.
What standard do you aim for?
WCAG 2.2 level AA. That covers color contrast, keyboard use, visible focus, labels, text alternatives and motion.
What have you done?
- Every text and background color pair meets AA contrast. We checked each one.
- Everything works with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline and a skip link.
- Every form field has a label. Errors are spelled out in words, so color is never the only signal.
- Diagrams have text descriptions, and every point they make is also in the text.
- There is no animation beyond hover and focus. We respect the reduced motion setting.
- The site works without JavaScript, including the menu and the audit form.
How do you test?
We run Lighthouse accessibility checks on every page type before each release, and check by keyboard. Automated tools catch only part of the problems, so we also review pages by hand.
Are there known issues?
None that we know of as of the date below. If you find one, we want to hear about it.
How do I report a problem?
Email hello@lanternmend.com with the page and what went wrong. We will reply and fix it.
