Accessibility statement

A site that tells owners about accessibility failures has to hold itself to the same standard. This statement covers suitcast.com: the target, how it is tested, what is known not to work yet, and how to report a barrier.
Last updated . 7 sections.

At a glance

  • Target: WCAG 2.1 level AA
  • Every public page tested with axe-core at six screen widths
  • Keyboard access, visible focus and a skip link on every page
  • Charts and maps have text equivalents
  • Report a barrier: support@suitcast.com

01The target

Suitcast aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG, version 2.1 at level AA on every public page of suitcast.com, in the logged-in dashboard and in the emails it sends.

This statement describes the work done on this website. It is not a claim that the site is free of barriers, and it is not legal advice about your own site.

02How the site is tested

  • Every public page is tested with axe-core, the same open-source engine the Suitcast scanner uses, against WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 A and AA rules, as part of the checks run before a release.
  • The tests run at six screen widths, from a 360px phone to a 1440px desktop, and also check for sideways scrolling, touch targets smaller than 44px, form fields that are too small to read on a phone, and skipped heading levels.
  • Text contrast is measured against the colours actually painted on screen, including over gradients.

03What works today

  • Every page can be used with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline and a Skip to content link as the first tab stop.
  • Pages have one main heading and a heading order without gaps, so a screen reader's headings list reads as an outline.
  • Charts, the state map and bar lists have text equivalents, and every table has a caption and header cells.
  • Links inside sentences are underlined, so they do not depend on colour.
  • Animation is reduced to nothing when your device asks for reduced motion.
  • The site loads no third-party scripts, so no outside widget can add a barrier.

04Known limitations

  • PDF reports are generated as tagged PDFs with an outline, but their reading order has not yet been reviewed with a screen reader.
  • Checkout and the billing portal are run by Polar, the merchant of record. Their accessibility is outside Suitcast's control; if they block you, email support and a plan can be set up another way.
  • Automated tests cannot catch everything, such as whether alternative text is meaningful. Those parts rely on manual review, which may miss issues.

05Report a barrier

If anything on suitcast.com is hard or impossible to use, email support@suitcast.com with the page address and what happened. Reports are read by the founder. If you need a report or any content in another format, ask at the same address.

06Technology the site relies on

HTML, CSS, WAI-ARIA and JavaScript. Core content, including the lawsuit data, the guides and the policies, is rendered on the server and readable without JavaScript; the scan form needs it.

07About this statement

This statement was last reviewed on the date at the top of the page, using the automated tests and manual checks described above. It is updated whenever the testing or the known limitations change.
