Accessibility Statement

Our target

Our target is Level AA of WCAG 2.2, the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Version 2.2 is the current one, published in October 2023. Because accessibility research is part of what we offer, we hold our own site to the standard we recommend to others.

What we have done

The site was built with accessibility in mind from the start, rather than corrected afterward:

• Structure. Each page has one main heading, headings follow a logical order and landmarks identify the header, navigation, main content and footer. A skip link lets keyboard users jump to the main content.
• Keyboard access. Every link, button, form field and tool control can be reached and operated with a keyboard. Focus indicators are clearly visible on every background, including the dark sections.
• Contrast. Text colors were checked against their backgrounds to meet at least 4.5 to 1 for normal text. Form field borders and focus indicators meet at least 3 to 1.
• Targets. Buttons and standalone links are at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels, and primary buttons are at least 44 pixels tall. Links inside sentences follow the inline exception in WCAG.
• Reflow and zoom. Pages work at 320 CSS pixels wide without horizontal scrolling and support text zoom. Data tables become labeled cards on small screens.
• Forms. Every field has a visible label. Errors are listed in a summary that receives focus and are repeated next to each field.
• Motion. The site uses very little motion, and it respects the reduced motion setting in your operating system.
• No JavaScript required. All content and navigation work without JavaScript. The free tools need JavaScript for their interactive features, and each tool page provides a plain version of its content when JavaScript is unavailable.
• Images. Meaningful images have text alternatives. Decorative illustrations, such as mockups, are hidden from screen readers and labeled as illustrative for sighted visitors.

How we checked

We checked the site with automated tools, manual keyboard testing, contrast measurement, testing at several screen widths and testing with JavaScript turned off. We have not yet run sessions with disabled participants on this site. The W3C notes that involving users finds usability issues that conformance evaluation alone does not discover, so we plan to include participants in future reviews.

Known limitations

• The flat illustration of a researcher at a laptop on the home page is original decorative artwork. It contains no information and is hidden from assistive technology.
• The journey card and before-and-after mockup on the home page are decorative illustrations hidden from assistive technology. The information they illustrate is available in the text of the page.
• Files exported from the tools are plain text. They contain no headings or structure beyond line breaks, which keeps them compatible with any program.
• Some external sources linked from our guides may not meet the same standard. We cannot control their accessibility.

Feedback and alternative formats

If you meet a barrier on this site, or need any content in a different format, please email hello@uxnotivo.online. Tell us the page address, what you were trying to do and, if you are comfortable sharing it, the browser and assistive technology you use. We treat accessibility problems as bugs and aim to fix them as quickly as we can. If a fix takes time, we will provide the information you need in another way in the meantime.

Technical details

The site is built with HTML, CSS and a small amount of JavaScript. It relies on standard browser features and does not use accessibility overlay products. It is tested in current versions of major browsers on desktop and mobile.
