Our Commitment

Vitasphere is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA, and AAA). We have chosen Level AA as our target for HeroMe.

Accessibility Features

The HeroMe platform includes the following accessibility features:

Keyboard Navigation

  • All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard
  • Visible focus indicators on all focusable elements
  • Skip links to bypass navigation and jump to main content
  • Logical tab order throughout the application

Screen Reader Support

  • Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy
  • ARIA labels and descriptions for interactive elements
  • Alt text for all meaningful images
  • Live regions for dynamic content updates
  • Form labels properly associated with inputs

Visual Design

  • Sufficient color contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for text)
  • Information not conveyed by color alone
  • Resizable text up to 200% without loss of functionality
  • Consistent navigation and layout across pages

Motion and Animation

  • Respects "prefers-reduced-motion" browser setting
  • No content that flashes more than 3 times per second
  • Animations can be paused or disabled

Forms

  • Clear labels for all form fields
  • Error messages clearly identify the problem
  • Required fields clearly indicated
  • Autocomplete attributes for common fields

Assistive Technology Compatibility

HeroMe is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

  • Screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS)
  • Screen magnification software
  • Speech recognition software
  • Keyboard-only navigation

Browser Compatibility

HeroMe is designed to work with the current and previous two versions of:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Apple Safari
  • Microsoft Edge

Known Limitations

While we strive for full accessibility, some content may have limitations:

  • AI-generated images: Alt text is automatically generated and may not fully describe all visual elements
  • PDF exports: Downloaded story PDFs may have limited accessibility features

We are actively working to address these limitations.
