Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

We want StartupOwl to be usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. Accessibility is not an afterthought for us. It is something we actively work on as the site grows.

Standards we follow

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. These guidelines are the widely accepted benchmark for web accessibility and cover a broad range of recommendations for making content more usable for people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.

We are not claiming full conformance today. We are working toward it, and we take it seriously.

What we do

Here are some of the specific things we have built into the site:

• Semantic HTML elements (headings, landmarks, lists, navigation) so assistive technologies can understand the page structure.
• A logical heading hierarchy on every page.
• Keyboard navigation support throughout the site, including visible focus indicators.
• Alt text on images so screen readers can describe visual content.
• Sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds.
• Responsive design that works across screen sizes and zoom levels.

Ongoing improvements

We periodically review our pages and templates to identify and fix accessibility issues. As we add new features and content, we test them against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria before publishing.
