Accessibility

LensCore follows WCAG 2.1 AA principles to ensure that our documentation and tools are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We're committed to providing an inclusive experience for all users.

WCAG 2.1 Compliance

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 provide a shared standard for web content accessibility. LensCore adheres to Level AA compliance, meeting the following key principles:

Perceivable

Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.

• ✓ Text alternatives for images
• ✓ Sufficient color contrast
• ✓ Resizable text
• ✓ Adaptable content

Operable

User interface components and navigation must be operable by all users.

• ✓ Keyboard accessible
• ✓ Sufficient time to read
• ✓ No seizure-inducing content
• ✓ Easy navigation

Understandable

Information and user interface operation must be understandable.

• ✓ Readable text
• ✓ Predictable behavior
• ✓ Input assistance
• ✓ Error prevention

Robust

Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by a wide variety of user agents.

• ✓ Valid HTML markup
• ✓ Proper ARIA labels
• ✓ Compatible with assistive tech
• ✓ Standards compliant

Our Accessibility Practices

Semantic HTML

We use proper HTML5 semantic elements (header, nav, main, article, section, footer) and heading hierarchy (h1-h6) to provide meaningful structure for screen readers and assistive technologies.

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements are keyboard accessible. Visible focus indicators show which element has focus. Users can navigate through the entire site using only the keyboard (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Escape).

Color Contrast

We maintain a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, meeting WCAG AA standards. Both light and dark themes are tested for sufficient contrast.

Screen Reader Support

We use ARIA labels, roles, and properties where appropriate. Skip links allow users to bypass repetitive content. Alt text describes images meaningfully.

Language Support

We provide proper language attributes (lang) for English and Indonesian content, enabling screen readers to use the correct pronunciation and voice.

Responsive Design

Our documentation is fully responsive and works on all device sizes. Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
