Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

We believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, regardless of ability or disability. We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, ensuring equal access to all of our content and functionality.

Conformance Standards

CalculatorGlobe 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 for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone. The guidelines are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and are the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility.

Accessibility Features

We have implemented the following accessibility features across our website:

• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements, including calculators, forms, navigation menus, and accordion panels, are fully operable using a keyboard alone. Tab, Enter, Escape, and Arrow keys function as expected.
• Screen Reader Support: We use semantic HTML, ARIA labels, ARIA roles, and live regions to ensure screen readers can accurately convey the content and state of our pages and calculators.
• Color Contrast: All text meets or exceeds WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio requirements of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, ensuring readability for users with low vision or color deficiencies.
• Focus Indicators: All focusable elements have visible focus indicators to help keyboard users identify their current position on the page.
• Skip Navigation: A "Skip to content" link is provided on every page, allowing users to bypass repetitive navigation elements.
• Form Labels: Every form input has a properly associated label element. Placeholder text is never used as a substitute for labels.
• Responsive Design: Our website adapts to different screen sizes and orientations. Content is readable and functional without horizontal scrolling at up to 400% zoom.
• Calculator Results: Calculation results are announced to screen readers using ARIA live regions, ensuring users are notified of updates without needing to navigate manually.
• Touch Targets: All interactive elements have a minimum touch target size of 48 by 48 pixels, meeting mobile accessibility guidelines.
