Accessibility statement
We want everyone to be able to read this site and use PeerX. This page says what we have done, what we know is still wrong, and how to tell us about a problem.
The standard we aim for
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. We check our pages ourselves, including with a keyboard only. Until an independent audit confirms it, we describe PeerX as partially conformant: some parts may not fully meet the standard yet.
What is in place on this site
- A "Skip to content" link is the first thing a keyboard reaches on every page.
- Every link, button and form field shows a visible focus outline when you reach it with a keyboard, including in Windows high-contrast mode.
- Our colors are chosen so that text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its background, and icons and form field edges at least 3:1.
- Where the site shows a status, it says it in words as well as in color.
- If your device is set to reduce motion, the site's animations are switched off.
- Pages use headings, landmarks and lists, so you can move around them with a screen reader.
What we know is not right yet
- We haven't had an independent accessibility audit, and we haven't tested every combination of screen reader and browser.
- Some pages and forms may still have problems we have not found yet.
- Pages we don't run, such as Google's sign-in screen and Stripe's payment page, follow their owners' standards, not ours.
Tell us about a problem
If something on PeerX is hard or impossible for you to use, email [email protected]. Say which page you were on, what you were trying to do, and what assistive technology you use, if any. We aim to reply within five business days and to propose a fix within ten.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you can escalate your complaint to the enforcement body in your country.
