Accessibility Statement

Homiro is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Measures to support accessibility

Homiro takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of the Homiro website:

  • Include accessibility as part of our mission statement.
  • Integrate accessibility into our procurement practices.
  • Appoint an accessibility officer and/or ombudsperson.
  • Provide continual accessibility training for our staff.
  • Include people with disabilities in our design personas.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Homiro is mostly conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA.

Mostly conformant meaning some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Additional accessibility considerations

Although our goal is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we have also applied some Level AAA Success Criteria:

  • 1.3.6 Identify Purpose (WCAG 2.1 Level AAA)

    • HTML5 regions or ARIA landmarks are used to identify page regions.
    • ARIA is used, where appropriate, to enhance HTML semantics to better identify the purpose of interface components.
  • 1.4.6 Contrast (Enhanced) (Level AAA)

    • Text and images of text have a contrast ratio of at least 7:1.
    • Large text - at least 18 point (typically 24px) or 14 point (typically 18.66px) bold - has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1.
  • 1.4.8 Visual Presentation (Level AAA)

    • Blocks of text over one sentence in length:
      • Are no more than 80 characters wide.
      • Are NOT fully justified (aligned to both the left and the right margins).
      • Have adequate line spacing (at least 1/2 the height of the text) and paragraph spacing (1.5 times line spacing).
      • Have a specified foreground and background color. These can be applied to specific elements or to the entire page using CSS (and thus inherited by all other elements).
      • Do NOT require horizontal scrolling when the text size is doubled.
  • 1.4.9 Images of Text (No Exception) (Level AAA)

    • Text is used within an image only for decoration (image does not convey content) OR when the information cannot be presented with text alone.
  • 2.1.3 Keyboard (No Exception) (Level AAA)

    All page functionality is available using the keyboard.

  • 2.2.3 No Timing (Level AAA)

    The content and functionality have no time limits or constraints.

  • 2.2.4 Interruptions (Level AAA)

    Interruptions (alerts, page updates, etc.) can be postponed or suppressed by the user.

  • 2.3.2 Three Flashes (Level AAA)

    No page content flashes more than 3 times per second.

  • 2.3.3 Animation from Interactions (WCAG 2.1 Level AAA)

    Users can disable non-essential animation and movement that is triggered by user interaction.

  • 2.4.9 Link Purpose (Link Only) (Level AAA)

    The purpose of each link (or form image button or image map hotspot) can be determined from the link text alone. There are no links (or form image buttons) with the same text that go to different locations.

  • 2.4.10 Section Headings (Level AAA)

    Beyond providing an overall document structure, individual sections of content are designated using headings, where appropriate.
