Accessibility
We want everyone to be able to use Paraaf: with a mouse, a keyboard or a screen reader, on a large or a small screen. Here is what we do for that.
Updated on 10 October 2026.
Our yardstick
We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA, stricter than the standard behind the European Accessibility Act (EN 301 549, WCAG 2.1 AA). We test with the keyboard, at 320 pixels wide, at 200% zoom and with automated checks in the light and the dark theme.
What we do
Every page has a clear structure with headings and recognisable regions, a link to jump straight to the content, a visible focus for keyboard users, forms with labels and clear error messages, enough colour contrast in the light and the dark theme, and respect for your device’s ‘reduce motion’ setting. A verdict is always given in words as well, never as colour alone.
Reading comfort
With the button showing a small figure at the top of every page you pick a profile in one tap (low vision, colour blind, reading is hard, hard of hearing, keep it calm) or choose what helps yourself: larger text, more or high contrast, colour correction, a big cursor, more spacing, a readable font, underlined links, a reading guide, read aloud with your device’s own voice, captions without sound and less motion. Your choice stays on your device and goes nowhere. The button replaces nothing: the website also works without it, together with your own device’s settings.
What isn’t perfect yet
This site embeds no maps, videos or other content from others. A website scan is a long list; every finding has its own heading, so you can jump through it with a screen reader. If something doesn’t work for you, we’ll gladly help another way: by email.
