We build roam-code.com to be usable by everyone,
including users with disabilities. Our target is
WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance.
Approach and verification limits
Our May 2026 self-assessment covered an earlier seven-page site. It does not establish conformance of the redesigned pages or interactive code atlas. This statement describes our approach; it is not a conformance certification.
- Contrast and focus — shared color tokens, visible focus styles and selected source-level contrast checks. These do not measure every rendered combination.
- Skip-to-content link — present on every page; visible on focus
- Semantic HTML —
<nav>,<main>,<footer>landmarks used correctly; one<h1>per page - Reduced motion —
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)disables hover transforms - Map controls — the atlas has a labelled area chooser, keyboard handlers and a static fallback. Its informative image has descriptive alternative text; decorative marks are hidden from assistive technology.
- Tables — comparison/pricing tables use captions and header scopes, inside named scrollable regions. Actual screen-reader behavior needs separate testing.
Known gaps
- The visual map is not a complete text description of every connection. The area chooser and adjacent details provide another way to explore it.
- Long code examples and wide tables can require scrolling. Their usability with enlarged text and assistive technology needs continuing review.
What our source checks cover
- Selected color-pair calculations, shared typography and focus styles
- Navigation, landmarks, labels and table markup
- Map loading, retry and keyboard handlers in a controlled DOM test
Not yet tested with: real screen-reader sessions (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS) or assistive-tech users. We commit to a real screen-reader-driven audit before enabling any paid product.
EU Accessibility Act
The European Accessibility Act (EAA, Directive 2019/882) takes effect 28 June 2025 for many digital services. Marketing / information sites are largely exempt; e-commerce and SaaS delivery surfaces are not. We aim to meet the EAA scope before any paid service launches.
Report an issue
If anything on roam-code.com is hard or impossible to use with your assistive technology, email [email protected] with what you tried and what happened. We respond within 72 hours on business days and prioritise accessibility fixes ahead of feature work. See also: security policy.
The update date records a wording correction, not a fresh browser or screen-reader assessment.
