We design the Alian AI site to be usable by as many people as possible. Below is an honest read of where we are.
What we aim for
We target conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Our deeper goal: a site that's pleasant to use with keyboard, screen reader, or low vision — not just one that passes audit checks.
What's working today
- Skip-to-content link at the top of every page, visible on focus.
- Keyboard navigation across nav, search (⌘K), forms, CTAs, and the chat widget.
- Semantic landmarks — every page has a main element with a stable ID, proper heading hierarchy.
- Focus-visible rings on interactive elements with a coral ring that meets contrast.
- Prefers-reduced-motion respected on the typing headline, activity ticker, and most scroll animations.
- Dark mode + light mode, both audited for contrast on text and UI states.
- Form labels on every input. Error states are announced and visible.
What's not perfect yet
- The hero's auto-cycling placeholder swap may distract some users. We have a plan to add a pause-on-focus toggle.
- The activity ticker pauses when the tab is backgrounded but doesn't yet expose a manual pause control.
- Per-page OG images aren't a11y blockers but lack textual alt equivalents in the metadata.
- We haven't run a full SR audit against the chat widget on iOS VoiceOver yet. On the roadmap.
Found something?
We take a11y reports seriously. Email accessibility@aliansoftware.net with the URL and what you ran into. We'll respond within 5 business days and tell you when (or if) we plan to ship a fix.
Tested with
- Keyboard-only navigation on Chrome, Safari, Firefox
- macOS VoiceOver (latest)
- NVDA on Windows 11
- axe-core + Lighthouse a11y audits per release
