§ 01 · Manifest · Accessibility conformance
We hold this site to WCAG 2.1 AA.
The same standard we sell — and audit other people’s sites against — is the one this site meets. This page documents what that means, how we got there, what’s still in progress, and how to tell us if something on this site fails you.

§ 02 · Position · Conformance level
Conformance: WCAG 2.1, Level AA.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, is the standard used by the U.S. Department of Justice as the operating bar for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on the web. We aim for this site to meet that standard across every page and every interactive element.
The current state is documented in our most recent audit (May 2026) — all 43 pages rebuilt with the Privateer Ledger system passed the structural WCAG 2.1 AA checks. The remaining ~370 long-tail pages share the same components and are spot-checked. Re-audits are run automatically before each material rollout.
§ 03 · Manifest · What we test for
The checks we run on every release.
- Color contrast — ≥ 4.5:1 for body text, ≥ 3:1 for large text and UI components. Verified against every palette token.
- Single H1, no skipped levels — every page has exactly one H1; heading hierarchy never jumps H1 → H3.
- Image alt text — every meaningful image carries descriptive alt; decorative SVGs are
aria-hidden. - Form labels — every input has a
<label for>or programmatic equivalent. - Keyboard reachability — every interactive element (CTA, form step, sticky CTA) is tab-focusable with visible focus state.
- Skip-to-content link — present on every page.
- Document language —
<html lang="en-US">on every page. - Touch target size — primary CTAs ≥ 44×44 CSS px on mobile.
- Zoom not disabled — pages are pinch-zoomable up to 200%.
- Reduced motion — animations honor
prefers-reduced-motion: reduce.
§ 04 · Log · Known gaps
What’s still in progress.
We list the things we know are imperfect, because honesty is part of the standard. None block the AA conformance bar, but they’re on the punch list.
- Reduced-motion coverage — transitions across the Privateer Ledger system are honored, but a small number of legacy hover animations on the homepage are not yet scoped to the reduced-motion media query. On the punch list.
- Long-tail page audit cadence — the 300+ programmatic geo pages share the same components as the audited core; we audit them in batches rather than every release. If you find a specific page where something fails, please tell us — see below.
