Guidelines to inform design
We have designed our website with WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines in mind.
How we conform to standards
Our website content partially conforms to WCAG 2.1, and we are actively working toward full conformance.
Our website was assessed on November 22, 2023 for compliance to the WCAG 2.1 through a manual accessibility audit performed by NakagawaCo using the following technologies:
Accessibility issues we are addressing
The following is a list of known accessibility issues that we are actively researching and plan to address:
Contrast Errors
In some portions of the videos that play on the home page and landing pages, navigation readability does not pass contrast conformance.
Missing Subtitles
Not all of the videos in the Video Library and Meditation Tools sections currently have captions or transcripts available.
Keyboard Navigation
Users are not able to access and operate all user interface elements on the site using only a keyboard.
Actions we are taking
- Ongoing self-evaluation
- Partnering with a development team with accessibility experience
- Providing direct feedback options for users to report accessibility barriers
