Accessibility
Seasoned Expat should be usable by everyone — including people who navigate with a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification, or other assistive technology. We treat accessibility as part of the product, not an afterthought.
The standard we hold ourselves to
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, and we adopt several AAA practices where they’re practical. In plain terms, that means we work to make sure:
- Every page has a logical heading structure, clear landmarks, and a “skip to content” link.
- All functionality works with a keyboard alone — menus, filters, the search, and forms included — with a visible focus indicator everywhere you land.
- Text meets a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its background (large text and interface elements at least 3:1).
- Images that carry meaning have text alternatives; purely decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- Charts and data visualizations are paired with the same information as text or a table.
- Moving content — like the recalls & approvals ticker — pauses on hover and on keyboard focus, and stops entirely when your device requests reduced motion.
- Dynamic updates (search results, filters, form messages) are announced to screen readers.
- The page can be zoomed and reflowed without loss of content or function.
Ongoing work
Accessibility is never “done.” We test with keyboard navigation, screen readers, and automated tooling, and we fix issues as we find them. New features are reviewed against the same standard before they ship. If something here falls short of the goals above, we consider that a bug.
Found a barrier? Tell us.
If you hit anything on Seasoned Expat that’s hard to use or impossible to reach with your technology, we want to know — and we’ll treat it as a priority. Email evan@evanking.net or use our contact page, and please include the page address and a short description of what got in your way. We’ll get back to you and work to put it right.
