Accessibility Statement

Our goal

We are building this website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AAA. This is our target. It is not a claim. Building to a standard is different from proving that a website fully meets it, and we have not yet had an independent accessibility audit. We will not claim full AAA conformance until a formal audit confirms it.

What we have done

• Clear page structure with correct headings, landmarks and a “Skip to main content” link.
• Full keyboard use. Every link, button and form control can be reached and used without a mouse, and the focus indicator is large and easy to see.
• Text and background colors with a contrast ratio of at least 7:1.
• Text that can be enlarged without losing content or function, and a layout that adapts to small screens.
• Display options in the page header: larger text, dark or high-contrast colors, and wider spacing.
• Forms with visible labels, instructions, clear error messages, an error summary and messages that screen readers announce.
• A searchable country and calling-code selector that works with a keyboard and a screen reader.
• Descriptive link text, plain language and short line lengths.
• No automatic motion, no flashing content and no time limits.
• Meaning that does not depend on color alone.
• Alternative text for meaningful images. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
• Explanations for abbreviations the first time they appear on a page.

We do not currently publish video or audio on this website. If we add any, we will provide captions and transcripts.

How we test

We check the website with keyboard-only navigation and with automated accessibility tools. Testing with screen readers on common browsers and an independent audit are planned. We will update this statement when they are done.

Known limits

• Some WCAG AAA criteria are hard to meet for every piece of content. We work to meet them, but there may be gaps.
• Other websites that we link to, including Longeveron’s website, are not under our control.
• The country list and telephone formatting help you enter a number, but they cannot check that a number exists.
