Accessibility Statement

Last updated: May 2025

ParryStack is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Our target standard is WCAG 2.2 Level AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, issued by the W3C).

Our Approach

We work to ensure ParryStack meets the following accessibility principles:

• Perceivable: All non-text content (icons, game covers, images) includes descriptive alt text or aria-label attributes. We do not rely on colour alone to convey information — score badges use colour plus text labels.
• Operable: All interactive elements (navigation, buttons, forms, FAQ accordions) are fully keyboard-navigable. Focus indicators are clearly visible. Skip-to-content links are provided.
• Understandable: Pages use clear, consistent navigation. Form fields have visible labels and error messages. Language is set correctly in the HTML element.
• Robust: HTML is semantic and valid. ARIA roles, states, and properties are used where appropriate. The site is tested with screen readers (NVDA and VoiceOver).

Specific Measures Taken

• Colour contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text
• All interactive elements reachable and operable via keyboard
• ARIA landmark roles on all major page regions (header, nav, main, footer)
• Breadcrumb navigation with aria-label="Breadcrumb"
• FAQ accordions with aria-expanded state management
• Guide progress steps with aria-label on checkboxes
• Cookie consent banner with role="dialog" and aria-label
• Form fields with associated labels and aria-describedby where needed
• Score badges use both colour and numeric text to convey meaning
• Mobile navigation with aria-label and aria-expanded on the hamburger button
• Page titles are descriptive and unique per page
• Images include appropriate alt text or are marked aria-hidden if decorative

Known Limitations

• Game cover art placeholders on the current site version use emoji text rather than actual images — we are working to replace these with real game artwork with proper alt text
• Some third-party embeds (comments, ads) may not meet our accessibility standard — we are reviewing alternatives
• Video embeds from YouTube inherit YouTube's accessibility, which is outside our direct control

• Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (latest two major versions)
