Accessibility statement
SEED Inclusivity exists to back founders building for people with disabilities. The least our own website can do is work for everyone. Accessibility here is a requirement, not a feature.
Our conformance target
This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. That covers, among other things: sufficient color contrast, full keyboard operability, visible focus indicators, descriptive alternative text on images, properly labelled forms, and respect for reduced-motion preferences.
What we do
- Every page is built on semantic HTML with landmarks, a skip link, and a logical heading order.
- Color combinations are checked against WCAG contrast ratios at the design-token level, so failing pairs can't ship by accident.
- Automated accessibility tests (axe and HTML CodeSniffer, WCAG 2 AA standard) run on every page before each deployment — a failing check blocks the release.
- We test manually with keyboard-only navigation and the VoiceOver screen reader.
- Animations and transitions are disabled for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
- Photographs carry descriptive alternative text written in person-first language.
Known limitations
- The virtual gallery is an immersive, visually rich experience that may not work well with every assistive technology. Everything it contains is also available in accessible form on this site — see the gallery page for the accessible route.
- Some older PDF documents may not be fully tagged. The booklet includes a full audio narration as an alternative.
Tell us what's not working
If anything on this site doesn't work for you — or you need any content in another format — email seedinclusivity@seedstars.com. We treat accessibility feedback as bug reports: they get fixed, not filed.
