Accessibility Statement

We want canarytrap.com to be usable by everyone — including people who navigate with a keyboard, screen reader, magnifier, or other assistive technology.

Effective date: January 1, 2026  ·  Last updated: June 1, 2026

Our commitment

Canary Trap aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. We treat accessibility as part of design and engineering quality — not a checkbox at the end of a project.

Conformance status

This site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 AA. “Partially conformant” means that some parts of the content do not yet fully meet the standard. We track known issues and address them on a rolling basis as part of normal release work.

What we do today

  • Semantic HTML landmarks (header, main, nav, footer) on every page.
  • Keyboard-accessible navigation, menus, dialogs, and forms.
  • Visible focus indicators on all interactive controls.
  • Color contrast that meets AA for body text and UI components.
  • Alt text for meaningful images; decorative imagery is hidden from assistive tech.
  • Form fields with associated labels and clear error messaging.
  • Respect for prefers-reduced-motion on animated content.
  • Responsive layouts that work at 320px width and at 200% zoom without loss of content.

Known limitations

  • A small number of older blog posts include embedded media without captions. We are re-captioning them as we refresh the archive.
  • A few third-party iframes (e.g., embedded video players) inherit the accessibility characteristics of those providers and may not fully meet AA.

Compatibility

The site is designed to work with the current and previous major versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on desktop, iOS, and Android. We test with VoiceOver (macOS / iOS) and NVDA (Windows) on a regular cadence.

How to report an issue

If you encounter a barrier, please let us know — we treat accessibility reports the same way we treat security reports: tracked, owned, and resolved with a named engineer.

  • Email: [email protected]
  • Please include the page URL, the assistive technology and browser you were using, and a short description of what happened.
  • We aim to acknowledge within two business days and provide a resolution timeline within ten business days.

Formal complaints

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate to the relevant accessibility regulator in your jurisdiction — for example, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in Ontario or the U.S. Department of Justice ADA Information Line in the United States.
