Accessibility

Last updated: 2026-06-13

CanCareer is built to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology. We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA across both the marketing site and the application.

What we’ve done

Keyboard: every interactive control is reachable and operable with the keyboard, in a logical order, with a visible focus ring.
Structure: semantic landmarks (header, nav, main, footer), a “skip to content” link, and an ordered heading hierarchy on each page.
Contrast: text and interface colours meet the AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and interface elements).
Screen readers: images and icon-only buttons carry text alternatives; data tables use real table semantics with row and column headers.
Forms: every input has a programmatically associated label, and errors are conveyed in text, not colour alone.
Motion: animations respect your “reduce motion” system setting.
Language & zoom: the page language is set, and content reflows and stays usable at 200% zoom.

Ongoing work

Accessibility is never “done.” We audit with automated tools (axe, Lighthouse) and manual keyboard and screen-reader checks as we ship. If you hit a barrier, we treat it as a bug, not a nice-to-have.

Report a barrier

If any part of CanCareer is hard to use with assistive technology, please tell us and we’ll prioritise a fix. Email hello@cancareer.com with the page and what you were trying to do. We aim to respond within 5 business days.
