Accessibility

This site is built blind-first. Here is what we check, what we know still falls short, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.

Our commitment

Accessibility is not a feature of The Blind Bridge; it is the site. We build for the people who actually use it — blind and low-vision readers, most of you on a screen reader — and we hold ourselves to a simple rule: if we claim it, we have checked it.

What we build to

Our target is WCAG 2.2 AA. Target means exactly that: it is the standard we build and check against, not a claim that every page has passed a formal audit.

• Semantic HTML with a real heading structure, so you can move page to page by headings.
• Every form labeled, every link's purpose readable out of context, and no captcha on any form, ever.
• A high-contrast dark design, with content never carried by color alone.
• Guides and page templates are checked with VoiceOver before they ship, and new templates are checked for keyboard use and visible focus.
• The site is built to work with both VoiceOver and TalkBack.

Known limitations — the honest list

• TalkBack: the site is built for TalkBack as well as VoiceOver, but it has not yet been tested end-to-end by a real TalkBack user. That is a gap we know about, not a claim we are making.
• Daily product pages: our daily pages are produced with automation and checked in batches, rather than one by one before they ship. If a heading or a label slips through, we want to hear about it.
• Other people's pages: some pages we link to — stores, manufacturers, the email service behind our newsletter — are outside our control and vary in accessibility. Where we have verified a barrier on a seller's own site, our product pages say so, so you can decide before you go.
• Product photos: photos are being added for low-vision readers with full written descriptions. While that project rolls out, some product pages are text-only — and nothing decision-critical ever lives only in an image.

Report a barrier

Found something on this site that doesn't work with your technology? Tell us what page, what you were using, and what happened — and every report is read, and barrier fixes jump the queue.

Two ways to reach us:

• Use the contact form and choose the Accessibility barrier option.
• Or email us directly at theblindbridge@gmail.com — because if the form itself is the barrier, you should not have to fight it to tell us.

Review

This statement is reviewed at least quarterly, and whenever the site's templates, navigation, or forms change in a major way.
