Accessibility

Everyone gets in

This site conforms to WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 Level AA. That is not a badge we awarded ourselves: every page is tested with axe-core against the WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 A/AA rule sets, and the build is checked with zero outstanding violations.

Why this matters commercially

Public institutions in Alberta — colleges, health authorities, and their procurement teams — operate under the Accessible Canada Act and provincial accessibility obligations. Software that cannot demonstrate conformance is not a harder sell; it is frequently ineligible. We treat accessibility as a procurement gate, not a nice-to-have, because that is what it is.

What we did

Contrast: Every text/background pair meets the 4.5:1 minimum for body text, in both the light and dark themes. Brand colours that failed the ratio were replaced for text use rather than kept for looks.
Keyboard: Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, including the companies mega-menu, which opens on focus and closes on Escape. Focus rings are visible and never suppressed.
The AI assistant: Kai is usable without a mouse and without a microphone. Voice is an option, not a requirement: everything it does by voice it also does by text, and the voice can be muted permanently.
Motion: All animation — the shimmer, the orbs, the typing indicator, the reasoning trace — is disabled for visitors whose system requests reduced motion.
Structure: Semantic landmarks, one h1 per page, labelled form fields, and alt text or aria-hidden on every image and icon, so a screen reader hears the page in the order it is meant to be read.

Known limits

Speech-to-text for the assistant's microphone relies on the browser's own recognition engine, which Firefox does not provide. On Firefox the microphone button is hidden and the assistant is text-only — it loses no capability, only the input method. Spoken replies work in every browser.

Automated testing catches a large share of issues but not all of them. If you hit a barrier anywhere on this site, email jkambo1986@gmail.com and it will be treated as a bug, not a request.
