Accessibility

1. The standard we hold

Vinrack aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 at Level AA across this website and our mobile apps. That target covers contrast, keyboard operation, focus visibility, text resizing, motion and clear labelling.

2. What that means in the product

• Keyboard first. Every interactive element is reachable and operable with a keyboard, in a sensible order, with a 2px focus ring that never relies on the browser default.
• Colour is never alone. A red flag carries a label and a written explanation, not just a red dot. A price verdict states the dollar figure, not only a colour.
• Real text. Prices, VINs, mileage and scores are selectable text at every size, never baked into an image, and the whole site reflows to 320px and to 200% zoom.
• Motion is optional. The decoding animation and the placement rings stop for anyone whose system asks to reduce motion. Nothing on the site flashes.
• Structure that reads. One h1 per page, headings in order, landmarks on every region, and a skip link to the main content.

3. Where we currently fall short

An honest list beats a conformance badge. As of this revision:

• The price-distribution chart is described by a summary label; a full data-table alternative is not built yet.
• The generated report PDF is not yet tagged for screen readers. The web version of every report is, and is the accessible route until that ships.
• Listing photography from dealer feeds arrives without alt text. We label the slot with what the photo shows rather than leaving it empty, but we cannot describe the individual image.

4. Tell us what breaks

If something on Vinrack is difficult or impossible to use, email support@vinrack.com with the page and what happened, and what assistive technology you were using if that’s relevant. We reply within two business days and treat an access defect as a bug, not a request.

If you need a report in another format, ask, and we’ll produce it for you at no charge.
