Accessibility Statement
ZhaLabs wants everyone to be able to use zhalabs.com, including people who use a keyboard, a screen reader, screen magnification, voice control or reduced-motion settings.
Our standard
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. This covers WCAG 2.1 AA, the level referenced by the European standard EN 301 549, which underpins the European Accessibility Act and the EU Web Accessibility Directive.
Conformance status
zhalabs.com is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 AA. Our own tests found no failures, but we have not yet had an independent audit or tested with every assistive technology, so we don't claim full conformance.
How we test
- Automated checks with axe-core against WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 A and AA rules, in light and dark themes, on desktop and mobile, with menus and FAQ answers open.
- Keyboard-only navigation of every link, button and form field, checking for a visible focus indicator and no keyboard traps.
- Reflow at 320 CSS pixels wide (equivalent to 400% zoom) with no horizontal scrolling.
- Reduced-motion settings, which stop all non-essential animation.
What we've done
- A "Skip to main content" link and labelled navigation landmarks.
- A logical heading structure and labelled form fields with spoken status messages.
- Text contrast of at least 4.5:1 and a visible focus outline on every interactive element.
- Menus that close with the Escape key.
- Tamil and Malayalam text marked with its language so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
- Decorative icons and letterforms hidden from assistive technology.
Known limitations
- We have not yet tested with every screen reader and browser combination.
- Links to webappstudio.io open another site, which has its own accessibility approach.
