Our Commitment

Selfdy is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

Selfdy aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

Technical Specifications

Selfdy relies on the following technologies for conformance:

  • HTML5
  • CSS (including CSS variables for theming)
  • JavaScript (React / Next.js)
  • WAI-ARIA where appropriate

Measures We Have Taken

  • All pages include a skip navigation link to allow keyboard users to bypass the header
  • All images include descriptive alt text
  • The site uses semantic HTML landmarks (header, main, nav, footer, article)
  • Color contrast meets WCAG 2.1 AA minimums (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text)
  • All interactive elements are keyboard accessible
  • The site language is declared (lang="en")
  • Pages have descriptive, unique titles
  • Data tables use proper header markup
  • Focus indicators are visible on all interactive elements

Known Limitations

We are aware of the following areas where we are actively working to improve accessibility:

  • Some older article content may not have perfect heading hierarchy — we are reviewing and correcting these on a rolling basis
  • The state laws campus policy tables are data-heavy and may be difficult to navigate on screen readers on mobile devices — we are exploring improved table navigation patterns

  • Screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), and TalkBack (Android)
