Accessibility Statement

Version 0.1 — pre-launch draft. Subject to formal audit before production deployment.

Our commitment

Soulverse is committed to making this website accessible to all visitors — including those using assistive technologies, keyboard-only navigation, or access via settings such as increased contrast and reduced motion.

This site is in development. Accessibility is a core requirement, not an afterthought. Where the current implementation does not yet meet full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, that is a known gap we are actively working to close.

Implemented features

  • ✓Skip to main content link — visible on keyboard focus
  • ✓Semantic HTML5 structure with landmark regions (nav, main, footer, section)
  • ✓Descriptive alt text for all images (logo uses descriptive alt)
  • ✓Focus-visible styles on all interactive elements
  • ✓ARIA labels and current-page indicators on navigation
  • ✓Keyboard-navigable hamburger menu with aria-expanded state
  • ✓Colour contrast: text on backgrounds meets WCAG AA minimum ratios
  • ✓Indigo (#2C2EBC) used for emphasis only — not as the sole indicator of meaning
  • ✓Reduced motion: all animations and transitions disabled via prefers-reduced-motion
  • ✓Print stylesheet for clean document output
  • ✓Language attribute on html element (lang="en")
  • ✓Descriptive link text — no "click here" or "read more" without context

Known gaps (pre-launch)

  • ○Formal WCAG 2.1 AA audit not yet conducted — required before production launch
  • ○Logo image: falls back to text wordmark if image unavailable — alt text present
  • ○No captions or transcripts yet — no video content currently on the site
  • ○Touch target sizes not yet formally measured against 44×44px minimum
  • ○Screen reader testing on NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver required before launch
