Accessibility

I want Steepdash to work for everyone, on whatever device or assistive technology you’re using. This page lays out where things stand and how to tell me when they fall short.

The goal

Steepdash aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. That’s the standard most of the web treats as the bar for “usable by as many people as possible,” and it’s what I’m building toward.

What that looks like in practice

• Real structure. Pages use semantic HTML and a proper heading order, so screen readers and keyboard navigation can move through them the way they’re meant to.
• Readable contrast. Text colors are checked against their backgrounds to meet the AA contrast ratios, so copy stays legible.
• Keyboard access. You can navigate the site and use its interactive parts with a keyboard, not just a mouse or touch.
• Respecting motion preferences. If your device is set to reduce motion, the site honors that and dials back animation.
• Text alternatives. Images carry descriptive alt text, and any interactive tool gives its output as real text, not just visuals.

Where it’s still a work in progress

This is a small, growing site, and accessibility is an ongoing job rather than a box I’ve ticked once. Some pages will be further along than others, and I’d genuinely rather hear about a problem than have you quietly hit a wall.

Tell me what’s broken

If you run into something on steepdash that’s hard or impossible to use, email me at hello@steepdash.com. Let me know what page you were on and what got in your way, and I’ll do my best to fix it.
