Accessibility
Built for everyone.
Updated 2026-05-22. Orvica targets WCAG 2.1 AA. We’re honest about where we’re short and we fix it when you tell us.
Standards we follow
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA — color contrast, keyboard navigability, programmatic focus, screen-reader semantics.
- WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices — for tabbed surfaces, dialogs, dropdowns, and other widgets that need explicit roles.
- EN 301 549 referenced for procurement compatibility (EU public sector).
What we test
- Keyboard-only navigation — Tab / Shift+Tab through every screen.
- VoiceOver (macOS, iOS) + NVDA (Windows) spot checks on key flows.
- Color contrast verified against accent + ink pairs we use site-wide (
#18171Con#FAF9FC≥ 16:1; lavender accents ≥ 4.5:1). - Skip-to-content link on every page (rendered on first focus via
SkipToContent). prefers-reduced-motionrespected for sliding tabs, perk fades, and banner transitions.
Known gaps
We don’t pretend we’re done. Open items we’re aware of:
- Per-card emoji indicators in some Helix surfaces need text alternatives.
- Some complex tables (audit logs, Volt payouts) don’t yet expose row-level summaries to screen readers.
- The card-art preview SVGs render fine but their decorative role isn’t marked with
aria-hiddeneverywhere.
If you hit one of these or anything else, tell us — we’ll prioritize.
