Accessibility Statement

Aufwind Group is committed to making this website and the Sumaq editor accessible to everyone. This statement explains what we've done, where we know there are gaps, and how to reach us if something doesn't work for you.

We aim to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA.

What we built with accessibility in mind

  • The entire site is keyboard navigable. Skip links, focus management, and visible focus indicators are in place on every page.
  • Navigation uses proper ARIA attributes: aria-expanded, aria-hidden, and aria-haspopup on the dropdown menu, with Escape to close and focus return to the trigger.
  • All pages use semantic HTML: landmarks (banner, main, contentinfo, navigation), heading hierarchy without skipped levels, labeled regions.
  • Forms use associated <label> elements, proper autocomplete attributes, and server-side validation with error messages.
  • Color is not used as the only means of conveying information. Dark mode and high contrast preferences are respected via prefers-color-scheme and prefers-contrast.
  • The Sumaq editor demos include skip links before each editor instance so keyboard users can bypass them.
  • All decorative SVGs use aria-hidden="true" and focusable="false".

What we tested

Manual testing was performed on March 26, 2026 using the following assistive technologies and methods:

  • Screen readers: VoiceOver on macOS and Orca on Linux. All pages were navigated in full, including forms, navigation, dropdown menus, and editor demos.
  • Keyboard navigation: Complete tab-through of every page. Focus order, focus visibility, skip links, dropdown Escape behavior, and editor bypass were verified.
  • Color vision simulation: Tested for all forms of color vision deficiency (protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, achromatopsia).
  • Contrast verification: All visible text meets WCAG AA contrast requirements.

Known limitations

  • The background pattern (chakana step motif) may reduce perceived contrast for some users, even when text contrast ratios meet WCAG requirements. The prefers-contrast: more media query adjusts borders and structural elements, but does not remove the pattern.
  • The editor demos on the landing page contain embedded rich text editors with their own keyboard model. Tabbing into the editor content area changes keyboard behavior. Skip links are provided to bypass each editor.
