Our accessibility commitment

We follow recognized accessibility best practices to make content easier to read and interact with. Our goals are:

Make content perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for people using a wide range of assistive technologies.
Design pages with clear structure, semantic HTML, and consistent navigation.
Keep images, videos, and interactive content accessible with alt text, captions, transcripts, and keyboard support where possible.
Continuously test and improve accessibility as our site grows.

Standards and guidelines

We design and test Wellcend to confirm with:

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, where feasible.
Best practice recommendations from accessibility authorities and assistive technology vendors.
Legal requirements in major jurisdictions, including the US and EU, as applicable to our operations.

What we do to improve accessibility

We use a combination of human review and automated tools to keep Wellcend accessible:

Semantic HTML and ARIA were used where appropriate to help assistive technologies interpret content.
Logical heading structure and skip links for faster navigation.
Alt text for meaningful images and descriptive titles for media.
Keyboard operability for navigation and interactive elements.
Captioned or transcribed video where we control hosting. For third-party embeds, we provide text alternatives when available.
Contrast checks for text and UI elements matched to our brand palette.
Regular audits with automated scanners, manual checks, and assistive technology testing.

Known limitations and planned fixes

We are actively improving accessibility. Current limitations include:

Some third-party widgets and embedded content may not fully support keyboard navigation or screen readers. We are identifying replacements or adding accessible fallbacks.
Older archived images may lack ideal alt text. We are updating these as a priority.
Some PDF documents may not be fully tagged. We are progressively replacing or tagging files for screen reader compatibility.

Planned fixes and review schedule:

Quarterly accessibility audits.
Monthly prioritization and remediation of issues found.
Accessibility improvements are included in every design and content sprint.

How we test

Testing approaches we use:

Automated scans using accessibility tools to identify common issues.
Manual review by trained team members for semantic correctness and keyboard usability.
User testing with assistive technology, including screen readers, screen magnifiers, and keyboard-only navigation.
Cross-browser and cross-device checks, including mobile screen reader behavior.

Testing frequency:

Automated scans run weekly.
Manual checks are scheduled monthly and when major design changes are deployed.

Reporting an accessibility issue

If you find a barrier, please tell us. Provide as much of the following as possible:

We do our best to choose accessible providers and to add accessible alternatives. If a third-party feature is not accessible, contact us, and we will provide an alternative or recommend a different resource.
