Accessibility Statement
Our commitment
Buyer's Leverage is committed to WCAG 2.2 Level AA and ADA accessibility best practices, with Section 508 best practices applied where they map onto a SaaS product. We continuously work toward conformance and treat accessibility as a first-class product requirement — not an afterthought.
Who we support
The platform is designed to be usable by blind users, low-vision users, color-blind users, keyboard-only users, screen-reader users, users with motor impairments, users with cognitive impairments, and anyone relying on assistive technologies.
What we do today
• Semantic HTML5 landmarks (header / nav / main / footer) on every page. • Skip-to-content link in the top-left on every page — focus the tab key once from the page top. • Visible focus rings (2 px brand-teal outline) on every interactive element via the global :focus-visible rule. • Form inputs always paired with explicit labels or aria-label; error messages linked via aria-describedby. • aria-live polite regions announce calculator results, upload progress, and form-error toasts so screen-reader users hear updates as they happen. • All meaningful images carry descriptive alt text; decorative imagery uses empty alt. • Color contrast at or above 4.5:1 (normal text) and 3:1 (large text) per WCAG 1.4.3, and never relies on color alone — severity icons, text labels, and shapes back up every color cue. • Respects the system "prefers-reduced-motion" preference — auto-rotating carousels and entrance animations pause when set. • Respects Windows High Contrast Mode via the "forced-colors" media query. • Keyboard support for every interaction, including modal dismiss via Esc and accordion / dropdown control with Enter / Space / arrows. • Inspection reports offered in a Web view AND a PDF view (desktop embeds the real PDF inline; mobile mirrors the same content as a printed-page-styled layout for reliable screen-reader support). • PDF exports are generated with reportlab in tagged mode so screen readers see proper document structure, language, and reading order.
Where we still have work to do
• A small handful of legacy chart visualisations rely on color alone — we are adding redundant text labels and accessible summaries. • Some AI-generated image alt-text is reviewed quarterly rather than on every change. • Third-party embeds (Stripe checkout, Metricool widgets) follow their own accessibility roadmaps.
Testing
Our CI pipeline runs axe-core and Lighthouse accessibility audits on the marketing, account, calculator, upload, and report routes. We do not deploy pages with known critical accessibility violations.
