Accessibility statement

Commitment

Rankquant targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. We treat accessibility as a non-negotiable baseline, not an add-on. Every article and methodology page is written to be usable via keyboard navigation and screen reader first.

Accessibility features

Skip-to-content link on every page (appears on keyboard focus).
Semantic HTML throughout — proper heading hierarchy, main / article / section landmarks.
Tables use th with scope attributes; figures use figcaption.
Color contrast meets WCAG AA for body text and interactive elements.
Text can be resized to 200% without horizontal scrolling or content loss.
Content reflows for narrow viewports down to 320px width.
Focus indicators are visible on all interactive elements.
No content relies on hover-only interactions.
Images have descriptive alt text (when we add images; currently text-first design).
Form inputs (none at launch) will have explicit labels.
speakable JSON-LD markup on direct-answer blocks for voice-assistant compatibility.

Known issues

Complex statistical formulas in the methodology are presented as preformatted text rather than MathML. We're evaluating MathML vs LaTeX-via-KaTeX for future iterations; the current presentation is screen-reader-usable but not optimized for math-specific assistive tech.
Reduced-motion preferences are respected via media queries, but some third-party-hosted videos we may embed in the future may not honor prefers-reduced-motion.

Reporting accessibility issues

If you find an accessibility barrier on any Rankquant page, please report it: [email protected]. Include the page URL, the issue, and (if you can) the assistive technology you're using. We commit to responding within 5 business days and resolving or providing a timeline for resolution.

Assessment approach

We self-evaluate against WCAG 2.1 AA using automated tools (axe-core, Lighthouse) and manual keyboard and screen-reader testing. Third-party audits are planned once coverage builds out beyond Phase 0.
