Accessibility Statement

1. Our commitment

Buyvotescontest.com is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continuously improve user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards.

2. Conformance standards

We target conformance with the following standards:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA — W3C international standard.
• European Accessibility Act (EAA) Directive (EU) 2019/882 — in force 28 June 2025.
• US Section 508 and ADA Title III — best-effort compliance for our US customer base.
• EN 301 549 V3.2.1 — European harmonised standard.

Conformance level: Partially conformant as of 2026-05-21. Some parts of the content do not yet fully conform to WCAG 2.2 AA — see Known issues below.

3. Accessibility features we provide

• Keyboard navigation — full site navigable without a mouse. Skip-to-main-content link at the top of every page.
• Focus indicators — visible 3-pixel outline on all interactive elements (WCAG 2.4.7).
• Colour contrast — body text 4.62:1 minimum, headings 7:1+ (WCAG 1.4.3 AA, often AAA).
• Resizable text — site uses relative units (rem); zoom to 200% works without horizontal scroll.
• Touch targets — primary CTAs meet WCAG 2.5.5 AA (≥24×24 css px) and Apple/Material guidance (44×44+).
• Semantic HTML — proper heading hierarchy, ARIA landmarks (header/main/footer/nav), aria-label on icon-only buttons.
• Form labelling — every input has an associated <label for> or accessible name. Required fields marked with aria-required + visual asterisk.
• Reduced motion — animations respect prefers-reduced-motion (WCAG 2.3.3 AAA).
• RTL support — Arabic, Hebrew interfaces fully right-to-left.
• 20 languages — content available in English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese-Brazilian, Hindi, Turkish, Indonesian, Swedish, Thai, Vietnamese.
• Screen reader compatible — tested with NVDA on Firefox/Chrome and VoiceOver on macOS/iOS Safari.
• Captioned alternatives — for video tutorials we provide written transcripts. For audio content, written summaries.

4. Known issues (being fixed)

We disclose current accessibility gaps in the interest of transparency:

• Mobile menu focus trap (WCAG 2.4.3 A) — when the hamburger menu is open, keyboard focus can leak to underlying page. Escape-key close works. Full tab-loop within menu planned for next release.
• Marquee animation on contest-platform logos (WCAG 2.2.2 A) — no pause-on-hover. Mitigation: respects prefers-reduced-motion. Pause control planned.
• Some CJK font metrics — Chinese/Japanese/Korean text may shift slightly during font swap. Inter Fallback @font-face deployed for Latin scripts; CJK fallback metrics in progress.
• Form error announcements — visual errors render correctly but screen reader live-region announcement could be more verbose. Planned aria-live="polite" upgrade.

We commit to addressing each item with monthly progress reviews. Anyone may inquire about progress via the contact below.

5. Testing approach

We test accessibility using:

• Automated: axe DevTools, WAVE WebAIM, Lighthouse Accessibility audit — run on every major content release.
• Manual: keyboard-only navigation test, screen reader (NVDA + VoiceOver), 200% zoom test, high-contrast Windows mode, mobile touch-target ≥44 px verification.
• Real users: feedback channel via accessibility email — every report investigated and acknowledged within 5 business days.

6. Compatible environments

This site has been designed to work with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers: NVDA 2024+ (Windows), JAWS 2024+ (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS 14+, iOS 17+), TalkBack (Android 13+).
• Browsers: latest two stable releases of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
• Operating systems: Windows 10/11, macOS 12+, iOS 16+, Android 11+, Ubuntu 22.04+.
• Zoom magnification: ZoomText, Windows Magnifier, macOS Zoom — tested at 200% and 400%.
• Speech recognition: Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Windows Speech Recognition.

7. Non-conforming content

Despite our efforts, some content may not fully conform:

• Embedded third-party content (JivoChat live-chat widget, YouTube video embeds via youtube-nocookie.com) inherits accessibility from the third party. We monitor their compliance but cannot fix issues in their code directly.
• User-generated content in forums or comments (we do not currently have these features).
• Legacy content from before 2024 may have minor heading-order or alt-text gaps. We re-audit during content refresh cycles.
