Accessibility statement

We want Lodekeep to be usable by everyone, including people who navigate with a keyboard, a screen reader, or other assistive technology. This page states the standard we hold ourselves to, what we have already done, where we still fall short, and how to reach us if something gets in your way.

Our target

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. This is a goal we work toward continuously, not a one-time certification. As we add features we check them against these guidelines before shipping.

What we have done

• Full keyboard operation: every interactive control is reachable and usable with the keyboard alone, with a visible focus ring on each one.
• A skip-to-content link at the top of every page, and semantic landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer) so assistive technology can jump around.
• Links inside body text carry a persistent underline, so they are never distinguished by color alone.
• Text and interface colors are tuned to meet the AA contrast ratio against our dark background.
• Errors and status messages are announced to screen readers as they appear (they are not silent color changes).
• Menus and dialogs move focus into themselves when opened, trap it while open, and return it to where you were when closed.
• Motion honors your prefers-reduced-motion setting, and the auto-scrolling marquee has a keyboard-operable pause control.

Known gaps

We are honest about what is not done yet:

• We have not yet completed a formal, independent accessibility audit. This statement reflects our own testing.
• Some purely decorative animations and illustrations are hidden from assistive technology rather than described; the meaningful content is always available as real text nearby.
• A few areas of the operator console are built for internal use and have had less accessibility attention than the customer-facing pages.
• Exported files (for example your JSON data export) are raw data and are not styled for accessibility.

Tell us when we fall short

If you hit an accessibility barrier anywhere in Lodekeep, please email [email protected] and tell us the page and what went wrong. We treat these reports as real bugs and will work with you to find another way to get what you need done in the meantime.
