We sell accessibility work, so our own site has to hold the bar. This page says what that bar is, how we meet it, and what to do if we've missed something.
Our standard
lfw.com targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA — the same standard behind Section 508 — and it is checked continuously, not once: the same automated accessibility engine we run against client sites (axe-core, the industry-standard ruleset) audits this site's pages as part of our daily monitoring. Findings are triaged and fixed as part of normal operations.
How this site is built for access
- No CAPTCHAs, ever. Our forms are protected server-side, so there is no puzzle to see, hear, or race a timer on.
- Keyboard first. Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator. Dialogs trap focus and close on Escape.
- Touch targets of at least 44px in navigation, menus, and forms.
- Real text, real labels. Semantic headings and landmarks, labels that stay visible (placeholders are hints, never labels), and errors announced next to the field they concern.
- Contrast-checked type on both the paper and ink surfaces.
- Motion respects you. Animations are subtle and disabled entirely when your system asks for reduced motion.
- No third-party scripts — no consent walls, overlay widgets, or "accessibility toolbars," which we consider part of the problem, not the solution.
Known limitations
Some article demos are interactive tools; where a demo cannot be made fully accessible on a given assistive technology, the surrounding article always carries the same information in plain text. If you find a page where that promise fails, we want to know.
Tell us
If anything on this site doesn't work with your screen reader, keyboard, switch device, or anything else — email [email protected] with the page and what happened. A person reads it, and fixes ship in days, not quarters. We treat these reports the way we treat client work, because they are the same work.
