Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines provide a framework for making web content accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following features to support accessibility:

• Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML elements (headings, landmarks, lists, buttons) to ensure screen readers and assistive technologies can interpret page structure
• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, Escape, and arrow keys)
• ARIA Labels: Interactive elements include ARIA attributes for screen reader compatibility
• Color Contrast: We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios for text and interactive elements
• Responsive Design: The platform adapts to different screen sizes and zoom levels
• Alt Text: Images include descriptive alternative text
• Focus Indicators: Visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation
• Dark Mode: An alternative color scheme that may be more comfortable for some users

Known Limitations

While we work to ensure accessibility across the entire platform, some areas may have known limitations:

• User-uploaded images: Images uploaded by other users may not always include descriptive alt text
• Third-party content: Content embedded from third-party services may not meet our accessibility standards
• Real-time features: Live messaging and real-time notifications may have limited screen reader support in some browsers
• PDF documents: User-uploaded PDF files may not be accessible

We are actively working to address these limitations and improve accessibility across all areas of the platform.

Circlio is designed to be compatible with common assistive technologies, including:
