Accessibility
Mikalyzed LLC wants everyone to be able to use Mikalyzed Marketplace, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard, voice control, larger text, or reduced motion. This page says what standard we build to, what we test, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.
The standard we build to
We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. That is the standard most often used to measure websites and apps under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
What we do
- Every page works with a keyboard alone, and shows clearly where the focus is.
- Text and controls meet contrast requirements against their backgrounds.
- Images carry text descriptions. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- Forms have labels and say what went wrong in plain words.
- Motion is off for anyone who has reduced motion turned on, and the background animation on the home page has a pause button.
- Nothing flashes more than three times in a second over a large area.
- Pages reflow on a phone without sideways scrolling, and text can be enlarged.
How we test
- An automated audit of every page against WCAG 2.2 A and AA, on desktop and phone sizes.
- Keyboard-only walkthroughs of navigation, forms and dialogs.
- Frame-by-frame measurement of any animation that flickers.
Automated tools do not catch everything. We add testing with screen readers and with people who rely on assistive technology as the product grows.
Known limits
- Members will upload their own photos. We ask for descriptions, but we cannot guarantee every member adds one.
- Some scenes on the home page are generated concept images. Each one has a text description.
Tell us about a barrier
If something is hard or impossible for you to use, email support@mikalyzedmarketplace.com. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and the device or assistive technology you use. We answer within five business days, and we can give you the information or complete the task another way while we fix it.
