Accessibility

A site that works for the people it is for.

Access is part of the work, not a finishing touch. We aim at WCAG 2.1 level AA on this site and on everything we build for a client. We are honest about where we are not there yet.

What we do

Every page is built from real headings, real lists, and real buttons and links, so screen readers can move through it. Every interactive control is reachable and usable by keyboard, with a visible focus outline. Images carry text descriptions, and decorative marks are hidden from assistive technology instead of being read aloud as noise.

Body text and labels are tested for contrast against our paper and charcoal grounds. Text can be zoomed without the layout breaking. Our animations, including the rotating word in the headline, stop for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion. Forms name their fields, explain their errors in words, and never rely on color alone.

What is not finished

Some of the denser dashboard tables are still easier to use with a mouse than with a keyboard alone. A few older journal images need better descriptions. We have tested with keyboard navigation and with VoiceOver, and we have not yet done a full audit with every major screen reader. We are working through these rather than claiming otherwise.

Tell us when something blocks you

If any part of this site keeps you from doing what you came to do, write to hello@collectivereparations.com and tell us the page and what happened. A person reads it. We will answer, and we will offer another way to get it done while we fix the cause.
