Accessibility

Our Standard

We are committed to making simplicity.finance usable by everyone, regardless of ability or assistive technology. We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance and continuously improve toward Level AAA where it does not conflict with editorial clarity.

Accessibility is not a one-time audit. We treat it as a quality bar shipped into every release.

Features

Full Keyboard Navigation

Every interactive element is reachable and operable via keyboard. Use j / k to move through episodes, Enter to open, and Esc to close modals.

Screen Reader Support

Semantic HTML throughout, ARIA labels on non-textual controls, live regions for dynamic content updates.

Light and Dark Themes

Both pass AA contrast for body text and UI components. Switch any time from Settings.

Reduced Motion

Animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion system setting; fades and slides drop to instant transitions.

Resizable Text

The interface scales correctly with browser zoom up to 200% without layout breaks or content loss.

Visible Focus Indicators

Every interactive element shows a clear focus ring for keyboard users.

No Motion-Only Signaling

State changes are conveyed by color and shape, not only by animation.

Known Limitations

We try to be honest about what is not there yet:

Some dynamically-loaded content may not be announced immediately by screen readers.
The particle animation on the marketing landing page may be distracting; it respects reduced-motion but is not fully removable.
Embedded YouTube players are subject to YouTube’s own accessibility limitations, which we cannot override.
Some long-form report tables are not yet announced as tabular content by screen readers.

Feedback

If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please tell us. We treat accessibility reports as bugs and aim to acknowledge within two business days.
