Accessibility

Built to be usable by everyone.

KappaForge is committed to making our website and platform accessible to people with disabilities. This statement describes our current practices, the standards we follow, and how to reach us if you encounter a barrier.

Standards

WCAG 2.1 Level AA

Our target is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA — the standard recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice for web accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Perceivable

See it, hear it, read it

Text alternatives for non-text content. Sufficient color contrast. Text resizes up to 200% without loss of function. No information conveyed by color alone.

Operable

Keyboard-first

Full keyboard navigation. Visible focus indicators on every interactive element. Skip-to-content link. No keyboard traps. Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Understandable

Clear by default

Page language declared. Form fields have visible labels. Error messages identify the issue and how to fix it. Consistent navigation across pages.

What we've done

Concrete practices on this site

Semantic HTML landmarks (<main>, <nav>, <footer>) with a skip-to-content link.
Keyboard-accessible navigation, including our Platform dropdown (arrow keys, Escape, focus return).
Dialogs with aria-modal, accessible names, and focus traps that return focus on close.
Form labels associated with their inputs. Errors linked via aria-describedby and announced via aria-live.
Visible focus outlines on every interactive element, including custom controls.
Color contrast at AA for body text, UI components, and essential graphics.
Animated graphics and scroll-driven motion (parallax, fade-in transitions) are fully suppressed for users with prefers-reduced-motion enabled. Content is shown statically instead.
Icon-only buttons have accessible names (aria-label).
Page language declared in <html lang>.
Known limitations

Where we're still improving

We are actively working on accessibility. Areas currently under review:

Screen reader narration of complex architectural SVG diagrams. Text equivalents are planned for illustrations that convey information.
Third-party content (embedded videos, external analytics) is not always under our control. We audit vendors where feasible.
The authenticated product behind the marketing site is evolving rapidly. Accessibility is built into our engineering process, but we cannot yet guarantee AA on every in-product surface.
Report a barrier

Did we miss something?

If you encountered a page or feature that was hard or impossible to use, please tell us. We'll acknowledge your message within 3 business days and include the issue in our remediation backlog.
