Salt & Scale aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA across all pages of saltandscale.consulting. WCAG 2.2 defines how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more usable for everyone.
What this means
- Pages are designed to work with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and 200% zoom.
- Color contrast meets or exceeds 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text and UI components.
- All interactive targets are at least 24×24 CSS pixels with adequate spacing (WCAG 2.2 §2.5.8).
- Focus indicators remain visible at all times during keyboard navigation; focused elements are never fully hidden behind sticky UI (WCAG 2.2 §2.4.11).
- Forms support browser autofill and never require previously entered information to be re-typed within a session (WCAG 2.2 §3.3.7).
- Help (the contact link) is available in the same relative location across all pages (WCAG 2.2 §3.2.6).
- This site has no authentication, drag interactions, or cognitive tests. WCAG 2.2 §3.3.8 and §2.5.7 are not applicable.
Technical approach
This site is built with Astro 5 and outputs static HTML by default. JavaScript is used only
where necessary for interactive elements (navigation menu, contact form). No JavaScript is required to read any
content. Pages are structured with semantic HTML5 landmarks (header, main,
nav, footer), logical heading hierarchies, and ARIA attributes where native semantics
are insufficient.
Accessibility is verified using Lighthouse, axe-core, keyboard-only walkthroughs, and screen-reader smoke tests (VoiceOver on macOS, NVDA on Windows).
Known limitations
None at this time.
This statement will be updated as the site expands. Dates of any newly discovered issues and their remediation status will be tracked here.
Remediation timeline
When an accessibility issue is identified (whether through internal audit, user feedback, or automated tooling), we aim to:
- Critical barriers (blocks access to a page or feature): resolved within 2 business days.
- Significant issues (degrades usability for assistive technology users): resolved within 5 business days.
- Minor issues: addressed in the next scheduled maintenance cycle.
