Accessibility Statement

WatchCollateralLoans is committed to making watchcollateralloans.com accessible to people with disabilities. This statement describes our conformance approach, known limitations, and how to report issues.

Effective date: May 2026

Conformance target

We aim to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA published by the W3C. WCAG 2.1 AA is widely accepted as the standard for digital accessibility in the United States and is the target most ADA-related guidance points to.

What we've done

Visual

• Color contrast ratios meet WCAG AA: at least 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and UI components
• Visible 2px focus indicators on all interactive elements
• Text resizes via browser zoom up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
• No information conveyed by color alone — we pair color with shape, label, or position
• Layouts respond to mobile, tablet, and desktop viewports

Keyboard

• Every interactive element is reachable and operable via keyboard
• Logical tab order
• "Skip to content" link as the first focusable element on every page
• No keyboard traps

Screen readers

• Semantic HTML (proper heading hierarchy, landmarks, lists)
• Form fields have associated labels
• Images have descriptive alt text; decorative images are marked appropriately
• ARIA labels on icon-only buttons and non-text controls

Motion

• Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion — users who set this preference see static alternatives
• No content flashes more than three times per second

Forms

• All form fields have visible labels (not just placeholder text)
• Required fields are clearly marked
• Error messages are associated with their fields and explain how to fix the issue
• Form submission errors do not lose user input

Known limitations

We are continuously improving accessibility. Current known issues we're working on:

• Some marketing imagery is dense; alternative text descriptions are concise rather than fully descriptive
• Certain blog posts (when launched) may use embedded third-party content (e.g., social media embeds) that does not fully meet WCAG AA — we are evaluating alternatives

If you encounter an accessibility issue not listed here, please tell us — see "Reporting issues" below.

Assistive technologies tested

We test against the following common combinations:

• VoiceOver on macOS / iOS
• TalkBack on Android
• NVDA on Windows
• Keyboard-only navigation (no mouse) on desktop

We aim to support current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).
