Accessibility Statement

Last updated: June 29, 2026

A site about access that isn't itself accessible is a contradiction. We hold AccessNomad to the same standard we hold venues to: the experience has to work for the people who actually need it.

Conformance target

AccessNomad targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA across the entire site, and Level AAA on critical paths (verifying a venue, reading a listing, submitting a correction).

What we do

  • Status is always conveyed by three signals together: colour, icon shape, and text label — never colour alone.
  • Skip-to-content links, semantic landmarks, and visible focus states on every interactive element.
  • Minimum 44×44px touch targets on buttons, links, and form controls.
  • Text contrast meets or exceeds 4.5:1 for body copy and 3:1 for large text and UI components.
  • Forms have labels, error messages tied to their fields, and keyboard-accessible controls.
  • Animation respects prefers-reduced-motion; the rotating headline holds a single phrase when reduced motion is set.
  • The site is fully keyboard-navigable and tested with VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS.

Known limitations we're working on

  • The mini-map on listing pages is decorative; we provide a "Get directions" link and the address as text. We're adding a non-visual route summary.
  • Some historic Field Report editions predate our current alt-text standard; we're back-filling.
  • Captions on user-submitted photos are added by contributors and may be missing on older submissions — we're prompting on submission and back-filling.

Report a barrier

If something on AccessNomad doesn't work for you, we want to know — and we treat it as a defect, not feedback. Email access@accessnomad.com with the page, the device or assistive technology, and what happened. We respond within two business days.
