Accessibility

Compliance Status

At Wild Cause, we believe that the internet should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. We strive to adhere as closely as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. 

These guidelines outline how to make web content accessible to people with various disabilities, including blindness, motor impairments, visual impairments, cognitive disabilities, and more.

Our website incorporates several technologies designed to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We employ an accessibility interface that allows individuals with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s user interface (UI) and design according to their personal needs.

Additionally, we use an AI-based application that runs in the background, continually optimizing the accessibility level of the website. This application adjusts the website’s HTML and its functionality for screen-readers and keyboard navigation, enhancing accessibility for users with visual impairments and motor impairments.

Screen-reader and Keyboard Navigation

Our website supports Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes to enhance accessibility for users who utilize screen-readers. Here are key features:

  • Screen-reader Optimization: Our site undergoes a process to recognize and correctly tag each component using ARIA attributes. This includes assigning accurate form labels, providing descriptions for actionable icons (such as social media icons, search icons, cart icons), and offering validation guidance for form inputs. The site also provides roles for UI elements like buttons, menus, and dialogues.
  • Image and Multimedia Processing: The AI tool scans all images on the website to provide meaningful image descriptions via ALT tags. It also uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to extract text embedded in images, ensuring all content is accessible.
  • Navigation Aids: Users with screen-readers are prompted to activate the Screen-Reader Profile upon entering the site, ensuring an optimized browsing experience. For navigation, users can enable screen-reader adjustments at any time by pressing the Alt+1 keyboard combination.

Keyboard Navigation Optimization

The website’s HTML is enhanced with JavaScript to improve operability via keyboard. Features include:

  • Navigation through the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys.
  • Operation of dropdown menus with arrow keys and closing them with the Esc key.
  • Activation of buttons and links via the Enter key.
  • Navigation and selection in radio and checkbox elements using arrow keys, Spacebar, or Enter key.
