Our commitment

Accessibility Statement

Retreat Ledger™ is built to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology. We build toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA: semantic structure, keyboard navigability, sufficient color contrast, descriptive alternative text, and motion that respects reduced motion preferences.

Conformance status

Partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 level AA. "Partially conformant" means most of the site meets the standard and some parts do not yet. We would rather tell you exactly where we fall short than claim a clean bill of health.

This statement was last reviewed on 30 July 2026, following an internal audit of every public page. That audit was automated and manual code review; it has not yet been validated by assistive-technology users, which is the next step.

What we fixed in the most recent review

  • Added a skip-to-content link and a main landmark to every page.
  • Raised the focus indicator to 10.2:1 against page and card backgrounds; it previously failed the 3:1 minimum on our card surfaces.
  • Raised secondary text contrast to at least 4.8:1 everywhere. It had been 2.5:1 on cards, which failed for a large amount of the site's copy.
  • Fixed a button that rendered at 1.2:1 against its background, making it effectively invisible.
  • Form errors and confirmations are now announced to screen readers, and focus moves to the confirmation instead of being lost.
  • Content no longer depends on JavaScript to become visible.

Known limitations

We know about these and they are queued for repair:

  • The ten-dimension rating control on the review form is difficult to use at very narrow widths and communicates its selected state partly through colour. A rebuild is planned.
  • The directory filters submit as soon as you change a dropdown, which can interrupt keyboard and screen-reader users mid-selection.
  • The retreat search field on the claim page is a custom control that does not yet expose full combobox semantics.
  • Photography supplied by third parties may carry generic alternative text until an owner replaces it with their own description.

Compatibility

The site is built to work with current versions of screen readers and browsers, and does not require JavaScript to read any content. It has not yet been formally tested with JAWS, NVDA, or VoiceOver. We will say so here when it has.

Tell us what is not working

If any part of this site is difficult for you to use, we want to know so we can fix it. Write to [email protected] and include the page address and a short description of the barrier you hit. We read every message.
