Accessibility Statement

Ariexo aims to make visual discovery more usable and welcoming for people with different abilities. We are continuing to learn where the website creates barriers and how to address them.

Our commitment

We aim to improve accessibility for people with visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, and other accessibility needs. This statement describes practices visible in the current website code and known limitations from a limited source review. It is not a certification or a claim that every part of the service is accessible.

Current practices and improvement goals

Some practices are present in parts of the website, but they have not been verified consistently across every page or assistive technology:

Structure and navigation: reviewed pages use document language declarations, and many use headings, navigation landmarks, and labelled form controls. Structure and heading order vary across the site and have not been fully audited.
Keyboard and focus: some interactive controls include visible keyboard-focus styling. Consistent keyboard operation and focus visibility across all menus, dialogs, feeds, and account flows still need testing.
Text, colour, and zoom: the site uses responsive layouts and readable text styles in many areas. Contrast, text resizing, browser zoom, and reflow have not been measured throughout the website.
Forms and feedback: some forms have associated labels and status or error messaging. Accessible validation, instructions, and announcement of dynamic updates are not consistent or comprehensively verified.
Motion: reduced-motion handling exists on some pages. It has not been confirmed across every animation or transition.
Screen readers and assistive technology: compatibility has not been comprehensively tested with screen readers, speech input, switch devices, or other assistive technology.
Core journeys: accessible completion of sign-in, photo upload, discovery feeds, profiles, and reporting has not been verified end to end.

Images and visual content

Meaningful descriptions can help people who cannot see an image understand its relevant content. The current photo-upload flow lets creators provide a title and a general description, but it does not provide a dedicated alternative-text field or a verified way to associate that description as image alternative text. Existing images may have decorative, generic, or incomplete text alternatives. Improving creator-provided image descriptions and accessible image discovery is an ongoing goal.

Known limitations

A comprehensive accessibility assessment has not yet been completed. In the source areas reviewed, keyboard-focus styles and reduced-motion support are present only on some pages, image uploads lack a dedicated alternative-text field, and consistent accessible validation and status feedback has not been established across the core journeys. This is a limited list of verified observations, not an exhaustive inventory of barriers.

Standards and ongoing work

Ariexo uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as an improvement target. We have not completed an evaluation that would support a claim of WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformity. We intend to improve the experience over time and to use accessibility feedback to help prioritize changes.
