1. WCAG 2.2 Level AA Conformance Statement

Esaholic strives to make its web services accessible in accordance with the UK Equality Act 2010 and the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

WCAG 2.2 defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities. esaholic.com is partially compliant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA guidelines due to the known technical limitations outlined in Section 4 below.

2. Accessibility Conformance Map & Features

We implement accessible design patterns across four primary technical categories:

Anatomy Explainer

Accessibility Feature Component Parts:

1. 1. Full Keyboard Navigation → View Definition
2. 2. Screen Reader ARIA Semantics → View Definition
3. 3. High Contrast Typography → View Definition
4. 4. Reduced Motion & Scaling → View Definition
PART 1

1. Full Keyboard Navigation

Logical tab order, skip-to-content links, and visible 3px focus rings on all interactive elements.

Technical Implementation:

WCAG 2.2 Criteria 2.1.1, 2.4.7 (Focus Visible), 2.4.13 (Focus Appearance).

Breakdown of accessibility implementations across keyboard navigation, screen readers, contrast ratios, and motion controls.
Text alternative for screen readers & search engines
  • Part 1: 1. Full Keyboard Navigation - Logical tab order, skip-to-content links, and visible 3px focus rings on all interactive elements. [Tech: WCAG 2.2 Criteria 2.1.1, 2.4.7 (Focus Visible), 2.4.13 (Focus Appearance).]
  • Part 2: 2. Screen Reader ARIA Semantics - Semantic HTML5 landmark tags (<main>, <nav>, <article>) paired with dynamic ARIA live regions. [Tech: WCAG 2.2 Criteria 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships), 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).]
  • Part 3: 3. High Contrast Typography - Text contrast ratios exceeding 4.5:1 for standard body text and 3:1 for large display headers. [Tech: WCAG 2.2 Criteria 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum), 1.4.11 (Non-text Contrast).]
  • Part 4: 4. Reduced Motion & Scaling - Full support for prefers-reduced-motion media queries and 200% text zooming without layout breakage. [Tech: WCAG 2.2 Criteria 2.3.3 (Animation from Interactions), 1.4.4 (Resize Text).]

3. Testing Methodology & Assistive Technologies Tested

The accessibility of esaholic.com is continuously evaluated through automated CI/CD accessibility audits paired with manual assistive technology testing:

  • Automated Testing: axe-core CI/CD integration, Google Lighthouse accessibility audits (maintaining a target score of 98+).
  • Manual Testing: Keyboard-only navigation audits (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, Esc keys) without a mouse.
  • Assistive Technology Tools Tested:
    • NVDA 2024 (NonVisual Desktop Access) on Windows / Firefox
    • VoiceOver on macOS (Sonoma) / Safari
    • VoiceOver on iOS 17 / Mobile Safari
    • JAWS 2024 Screen Reader on Windows / Chrome

4. Known Limitations & Ongoing Improvements

Despite our efforts to ensure full WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, some legacy or complex interactive components have known limitations:

1. Complex Interactive SVG Diagrams:

Some interactive SVG diagrams (such as dynamic pipeline flows) may require mouse hover to highlight sub-elements. We provide textual descriptions and tabular data summaries directly beneath each diagram figure for screen reader users.

2. Embedded Third-Party Code Blocks:

Code blocks rendered via build-time syntax highlighters may contain multiple nested <span> elements that are read as separate text fragments by legacy screen readers.
