Accessibility Statement for The Sage Wallet

At The Sage Wallet, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive online experience that meets the needs of all users, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use.

Our Accessibility Goals

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, an internationally recognized standard for web accessibility. These guidelines outline best practices for making web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, cognitive, motor, and speech impairments.

Accessibility Features

Keyboard Navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users can access all interactive elements, such as links, buttons, and form fields, using standard keyboard controls (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Spacebar, Arrow keys).
Screen Reader Compatibility: We have implemented semantic HTML and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to ensure compatibility with screen reader software. This allows users who are blind or visually impaired to access and understand the content on our website.
Alternative Text for Images: All images on our website have descriptive alternative text (alt text) that conveys the content and function of the image to users who cannot see it.
Color Contrast: We have carefully selected color combinations to ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, making it easier for users with low vision or color blindness to read the content on our website.
Clear and Consistent Structure: Our website has a clear and consistent structure, with headings, lists, and other semantic elements used appropriately to organize content and make it easier to understand.
Resizable Text: Users can easily increase or decrease the text size on our website using their browser settings without losing content or functionality.
Forms Accessibility: All forms on our website have properly labeled input fields and provide clear instructions and error messages to assist users in completing them successfully.
Video Captions and Transcripts: All video content on our website includes captions and/or transcripts to make it accessible to users who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Specific Accessibility Considerations

Keyboard Navigation Details

We have ensured that the focus order follows a logical path through the page content. Interactive elements such as buttons and links are easily identifiable and navigable using the Tab key. Skip links are provided to bypass repetitive navigation elements, allowing users to jump directly to the main content.

Screen Reader Optimization

We use ARIA roles, states, and properties to provide screen readers with additional information about the structure and behavior of our web pages. This includes labeling interactive elements, indicating the state of UI components, and providing context for dynamic content updates.

Color Contrast Ratios

We adhere to WCAG 2.1 Level AA color contrast requirements, ensuring a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. We regularly audit our color palettes to maintain compliance and provide an optimal reading experience for all users.

Responsive Design

Our website is built with a responsive design, which means it adapts to different screen sizes and devices. This ensures that the content is accessible and usable on desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Dynamic Content Updates

When content updates dynamically, we use ARIA live regions to notify screen reader users of the changes. This ensures that users are aware of new content being added to the page without having to manually refresh the page.

Ongoing Efforts

We are committed to continuously improving the accessibility of our website. We regularly conduct accessibility audits and user testing to identify areas for improvement and ensure that our website remains accessible over time. We also provide training to our staff on web accessibility best practices.
