Standard and scope
This statement covers the public pages, navigation, forms, and first-party content published on this website. The governing technical reference is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2, Level A and Level AA success criteria.
Adoption of this standard is an operating commitment. It is not a claim that every page has completed an independent conformance audit. Any verified barrier within StackOrcs' control enters the remediation process described below.
Experience requirements
- Core content and controls must be available without a mouse.
- Pages must expose meaningful headings, landmarks, labels, names, roles, and status messages to assistive technology.
- Focus must remain visible and must not be obscured by persistent interface elements.
- Text, controls, and essential graphics must maintain readable contrast and support zoom and small-screen reflow.
- Non-essential motion must respect reduced-motion preferences, and information must not depend on colour alone.
- Forms must provide persistent labels, understandable instructions, and actionable error feedback.
Testing and release control
Accessibility review is part of component and page delivery. Checks combine automated analysis with keyboard, zoom, responsive reflow, focus-order, contrast, and screen-reader-oriented manual review of critical journeys.
Material accessibility regressions are release defects. New components must preserve semantic structure and interaction behaviour before they are reused across the site.
Compatible use
The website is designed for current versions of major standards- based browsers and common platform assistive technologies. Users should be able to navigate with a keyboard, enlarge content, change orientation, use responsive layouts, and request reduced motion without losing essential information or functionality.
Third-party services
Links and embedded destinations operated by third parties, such as LinkedIn, are governed by those providers once a visitor leaves this website. StackOrcs selects and links to external services with accessibility in mind, identifies external destinations where practical, and provides an alternative contact route when a third-party barrier prevents completion of a StackOrcs request.
Report a barrier
Report an accessibility issue through the contact page. Include the page or component, the task you were attempting, your device and browser, and any assistive technology used. Do not include sensitive personal information that is not needed to investigate the issue.
StackOrcs targets acknowledgement within three business days and an initial assessment within ten business days. Confirmed issues are prioritized by user impact, reach, and availability of an accessible alternative. On request, StackOrcs will provide the relevant information or service through a reasonable alternative format while remediation is underway.
