Accessibility Statement

01Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the international standard for web accessibility, published by the W3C. They define three levels: A, AA, and AAA.

presstronic.academy is fully conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA for all content and code that Presstronic LLC authors. “Fully conformant” means the content meets every Level A and Level AA success criterion without exceptions.

The signup form is built with a third-party WordPress plugin. We have styled and configured it, and we test it as part of our reviews. Because we don’t control its underlying code, it’s covered by a statement of partial conformance due to third-party content, as WCAG allows. Details are under Known limitations.

02Laws and standards this covers

WCAG 2.2 Level AA is the benchmark behind, or exceeds, the technical requirements of:

• EN 301 549 v3.2.1, the European standard for ICT accessibility, which the European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882) relies on;
• Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act, which incorporates WCAG 2.0 Level AA;
• the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard adopted in the US Department of Justice’s 2024 rule for public entities, and the one courts routinely apply to websites;
• the UK Equality Act 2010, which requires reasonable adjustments, and for which WCAG is the recognised measure;
• Canada’s Accessible Canada Act and Ontario’s AODA, both of which reference WCAG 2.0 Level AA or later.

Some of these laws don’t formally apply to a business of our size. For example, the European Accessibility Act exempts microenterprises that provide services. We meet the standard anyway, because a learning product that some people can’t use is a broken product.

03What we’ve done

Seeing the content

• All body text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its actual background. Large headings and interface components meet at least 3:1. We measured every text colour on the page, not just the palette.
• Text can be enlarged to 200% without loss of content, and the layout reflows to a single column at 320 CSS pixels wide without horizontal scrolling. Wide tables on the legal pages scroll within their own box.
• Increased line height, paragraph spacing, letter spacing, and word spacing (WCAG 1.4.12) don’t cause text to be cut off or overlap.
• Colour is never the only way information is shown. Every coloured status also has a text label.
• Decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology.

Moving around

• A “Skip to content” link is the first thing on every page.
• Pages use proper landmarks (banner, navigation, main, and contentinfo) and a logical heading structure.
• Every interactive element can be reached and used with a keyboard, in a sensible order, and focus is never trapped.
• Keyboard focus is always visible: a 3-pixel, high-contrast outline, offset so it is never clipped or hidden behind the sticky header (WCAG 2.4.11).
• Interactive targets are at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels, or have enough space around them (WCAG 2.5.8).
• Links describe where they go. The legal pages include a table of contents.

Motion and time

• Nothing flashes more than three times per second.
• The two small animations on the home page, a blinking cursor and a pulsing status dot, stop by themselves within five seconds (WCAG 2.2.2).
• If your device is set to reduce motion, we turn off animations and smooth scrolling entirely.
• Nothing on the site has a time limit.

Forms and controls

• Every form field has a visible, persistent label. We never rely on placeholder text alone.
• The email field uses the standard autocomplete attribute, so browsers and password managers can fill it in (WCAG 1.3.5).
• Consent checkboxes start unchecked, and nothing is submitted or changed without you taking a clear action.
• All controls are real buttons, links, or form elements, with accessible names that match their visible labels (WCAG 2.5.3).
• Changes that happen without a page reload, such as moving a card or choosing a story branch, are announced to screen readers through live regions (WCAG 4.1.3).

04Using the interactive parts

The home page has three small interactive demonstrations. None of them is needed to understand the page. Everything they show is readable where it sits.

The board (“Not a course. A job.”)

You can rearrange the cards in three ways. No single one is required:

• Drag a card with a mouse, pen, or finger;
• Tap or click a card to pick it up, then tap another card to place it in front of that one, or tap a column heading to put it at the end of that column. Tap the same card again, or press Escape, to cancel. This meets WCAG 2.5.7, Dragging Movements;
• Focus a card with Tab, then use the arrow keys. Up and down move it within its column, left and right move it to the next column.

Every move is announced to screen readers, including the card’s new column and position.

The branch choices (A, B, C)

Each option is a standard button. Choosing one shows what happens next, and screen readers announce it. You can pick again as often as you like.

“Hold to skip the briefing”

With a mouse, hovering fills the button as a preview. You don’t have to hold anything to complete it: a single click, tap, or press of Enter or Space does it. The fill also appears when the button has keyboard focus.

05Known limitations

• Signup form (third-party plugin). The form is generated by the Fluent Forms plugin. We’ve set visible labels, restyled it to meet our contrast requirements, and tested it with a keyboard and a screen reader. We can’t guarantee the plugin’s own error and success messages always behave perfectly in every screen reader, because we don’t control its code. If the form doesn’t work for you, email hello@presstronic.academy with the words “sign me up” and we’ll add you by hand, with the same consent options.
• Section shortcuts on wide screens. The list of section links on the right edge of wide screens is a shortcut, not the only way to move around. Every section can also be reached by scrolling, keyboard, or the skip link. It’s hidden on smaller screens so it never covers content.

Neither limitation blocks access to any content or function.

06Compatibility

The site is designed to work with the current and previous major versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It’s also designed to work with these assistive technologies:

• NVDA and JAWS with Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on Windows;
• VoiceOver with Safari on macOS and iOS;
• TalkBack with Chrome on Android;
• Windows high-contrast and forced-colours modes, and browser zoom up to 400%.

We have tested with: [[LIST WHAT YOU ACTUALLY TESTED, e.g. “VoiceOver on macOS 15 with Safari 18; NVDA 2024.4 with Firefox”]].

The site isn’t designed for Internet Explorer, which Microsoft no longer supports.

07Technologies relied on

Accessibility here relies on HTML, CSS, WAI-ARIA (used sparingly, and only where native HTML can’t do the job), and JavaScript.

If JavaScript is switched off, all the text is still readable and every link still works. Only the three interactive demonstrations stop responding, and they aren’t needed to understand the page.

08How we assessed this site

This statement is based on a self-evaluation carried out by Presstronic LLC in September 2026. We checked each WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA success criterion against every page, using:

• manual testing with a keyboard only, with every interactive element checked in turn;
• contrast measurement of every text node against the background actually behind it;
• reflow and zoom testing at 320 CSS pixels wide and 200% and 400% zoom;
• text-spacing overrides as specified in WCAG 1.4.12;
• testing with reduced-motion settings switched on;
• screen-reader testing as listed under Compatibility;
• automated checks with [[TOOL, e.g. axe DevTools or WAVE]]. Automated tools catch only some problems, so they were used alongside the manual tests, not instead of them.

We’ll review this statement whenever the site changes significantly, and at least once every 12 months. We plan an independent audit by an accessibility specialist before the learning product launches in 2027, and will publish the result here.

09Tell us about a problem

If anything on this site is hard to use, doesn’t work with your assistive technology, or doesn’t meet the standard described here, please tell us. You don’t need to be sure it’s a “real” accessibility issue. If it got in your way, we want to know.

It helps to tell us the page address, what you were trying to do, what happened, and what browser and assistive technology you use. Please don’t hold back if you don’t know all of that.

• We’ll reply within 5 working days.
• We aim to fix confirmed barriers within 30 days. If we can’t, we’ll tell you why and when we expect to fix it, and we’ll get you the information or service another way in the meantime.
