Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

VibeVersity is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Standard

We target WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance as defined by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2. This standard meets or exceeds the requirements of:

ADA Title II (28 CFR 35.200 — WCAG 2.1 AA)
ADA Title III (web accessibility)
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act
New York S3114A / AB 8453 (WCAG 2.2)
European Accessibility Act (EN 301 549)

Measures We Take

Automated accessibility testing in our CI/CD pipeline using axe-core (WCAG 2.2 AA ruleset) — every code change is tested before deployment
ESLint accessibility rules enforced at code-write time (eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y)
Lighthouse CI accessibility score must exceed 95% or the deployment is blocked
Daily automated scans of our production site
Quarterly manual testing with screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA)
Semantic HTML, ARIA landmarks, keyboard navigation, and focus management built into our component architecture
Respect for prefers-reduced-motion and prefers-color-scheme user preferences

Known Limitations

While we strive for full WCAG 2.2 AA conformance, the following areas have known limitations:

Third-party authentication (Clerk): Sign-in and sign-up forms are rendered by Clerk. We monitor their accessibility and have reported issues to their team, but some elements are outside our direct control.
User-generated content: Content submitted by users (e.g., forum posts, exercise submissions) may not meet our accessibility standards. We provide accessible authoring tools and guidance.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of VibeVersity. If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us:
