Accessibility Statement
Our commitment to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, what we have built so far, where we still fall short, and how to tell us when something blocks you.
01Our commitment
Software that only works for some people is unfinished software. GBNOX aims to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA across this website and our products.
That target is the reference standard behind the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act, the European Accessibility Act and EN 301 549, the UK Equality Act 2010, and the Accessible Canada Act.
Conformance status: partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Most of the standard is met; the known gaps are listed below rather than hidden.
02What we have implemented
Structure and navigation
- Semantic HTML landmarks, with one
<h1>per page and headings in logical order. - A "Skip to content" link as the first focusable element on every page.
- Every page has a unique, descriptive
<title>, and breadcrumbs on the legal pages. - Full keyboard operability — no mouse-only controls, and no keyboard traps.
- A visible focus indicator on every interactive element.
Content and presentation
- Body text meets or exceeds a 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background; large text meets 3:1.
- Text resizes to 200% without loss of content or function, and the layout reflows to a 320px viewport without horizontal scrolling.
- No information is conveyed by colour alone.
- Decorative graphics — the radar visual, the background grain, the footer wordmark — are hidden from assistive technology with
aria-hidden. - Data tables use proper
<th>headers with scope, and scroll within their own container rather than breaking the page.
Motion and forms
- All animation respects the
prefers-reduced-motionsetting. If you have reduced motion enabled, transitions, the radar sweep and scroll animations are disabled. - Nothing flashes more than three times per second.
- No animation plays for longer than five seconds without a way to stop it.
- Every form field has a programmatically associated
<label>. - Errors are announced in text, describe how to fix the problem, and are not signalled by colour alone.
03Known limitations
We would rather list these than claim they do not exist.
| Limitation | Impact | Status |
|---|---|---|
| The animated radar visual has no text alternative describing its motion | Screen reader users get no equivalent for a decorative element | Accepted — it is purely decorative and conveys no information |
| Long legal pages have no "back to top of section" control within each section | Extra scrolling for keyboard and screen magnifier users | Planned — the table of contents is sticky as an interim measure |
| The site has not yet been audited by an independent third party | Our conformance claim is self-assessed | Planned before the first product reaches general availability |
| Third-party marketplace content shown inside future products may not meet AA | Content we do not author may fall short | We will surface accessible alternatives where we control the presentation |
04How we assess
- Automated checks — axe and Lighthouse — run against the site as part of our review process.
- Manual keyboard-only walkthroughs of every page and interactive component.
- Screen reader spot checks with VoiceOver and NVDA.
- Contrast verification against the WCAG formula, not by eye.
- Testing at 200% and 400% zoom, and at a 320px viewport width.
Accessibility is checked before a change ships, not audited afterwards.
05Compatibility
This website is designed to work with recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile, in combination with VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS and TalkBack.
It may not work correctly on browsers older than three years, or with assistive technology that does not support ARIA.
06Tell us when something blocks you
If any part of this site or a GBNOX product stops you doing what you came to do, we want to know — including where the barrier is not covered by any standard.
Use the contact form with the page address, what you were trying to do, and the browser and assistive technology you were using.
What we commit to
- Acknowledge your report within 3 business days.
- Give you a plan or a fix within 10 business days, or explain honestly why it will take longer.
- Provide the information in an alternative accessible format in the meantime, at no cost to you.
If you are not satisfied with our response, tell us and it will be escalated. You may also contact the relevant national enforcement body for accessibility in your country.
