Accessibility Statement
We want throughline.community to work for everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, or other assistive technology.
Our standard
We build toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — the widely-used benchmark for web accessibility. This is a goal we actively work toward, not a certification. If you find a place where we fall short, we want to know about it (see below).
What we've done
Concretely, on this site:
- Every color combination used for text has been checked against WCAG AA contrast requirements (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text), including on hover, focus, and interactive states.
- All images carry descriptive alt text.
- Interactive controls — buttons, carousel navigation, menu toggles — have accessible names for screen readers, not just visual icons.
- The site is fully keyboard-navigable, with visible focus indicators on links and buttons.
- The FAQ page uses native, semantic expand/collapse controls that work correctly with screen readers and keyboards by default.
- Animations and motion respect your system's "reduce motion" setting, and decorative effects (like the custom cursor) are automatically disabled on touch devices.
- Page structure uses semantic HTML and a logical heading order so the content makes sense read out of visual context.
Known limitations
This site is actively maintained and improved. We haven't yet done a full audit with users who rely on assistive technology day to day, which is the most reliable way to catch what automated and manual testing miss. If something doesn't work the way it should, please tell us — see below.
Reporting an issue
If you encounter an accessibility barrier anywhere on this site, email info@throughline.community with the page URL and a description of the issue. We'll do our best to respond quickly and fix confirmed issues promptly.
