Our Commitment
Premium design is design that works for everyone. Tesária is committed to ensuring that tesaria.tech and the materials we publish are accessible to people of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies. Accessibility is treated as a core requirement of every page we ship, not an afterthought, and is reviewed alongside aesthetics, performance, and brand consistency.
Conformance Status
This website is designed and built to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium on 5 October 2023. WCAG 2.2 is the most current version of the standard and is referenced by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), the European Accessibility Act (EAA), the Accessible Canada Act, and the United States Section 508 regulations.
We declare partial conformance, which means that some content may not yet fully conform to all Level AA success criteria; known limitations are listed below, together with alternatives.
Compatibility
The website is designed to be compatible with the latest two versions of the major desktop and mobile browsers:
- Google Chrome on Windows, macOS, Android, and ChromeOS
- Mozilla Firefox on Windows and macOS
- Apple Safari on macOS and iOS
- Microsoft Edge on Windows
It supports keyboard-only navigation and the following assistive technologies:
- NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) on Windows
- JAWS on Windows
- VoiceOver on macOS and iOS
- TalkBack on Android
The site is not designed for browsers older than three release cycles, and we cannot guarantee a fully accessible experience in those environments.
Accessibility Features
Specific features that support an accessible experience include:
- A "Skip to main content" link as the first focusable element on every page.
- Semantic HTML5 landmarks (
header,nav,main,article,footer) so assistive technologies can announce page structure. - ARIA labels and roles on interactive components, including the primary navigation, sub-menus, modals, and form controls.
- Visible
:focus-visiblestyles on all interactive elements for clear keyboard focus indication. - Respect for the
prefers-reduced-motionmedia query, so animations are reduced or removed for visitors who request less motion. - Sufficient colour contrast between text and background, meeting or exceeding WCAG 2.2 AA contrast thresholds.
- Descriptive alternative text on meaningful images and decorative imagery marked accordingly.
- Forms and modal dialogs that are keyboard-operable, label-associated, and announce validation errors clearly.
- No auto-playing audio, and no flashing content above WCAG seizure-safety thresholds.
- Responsive layouts that reflow at 200% zoom and at 320 CSS pixels of width, without loss of content or functionality.
Known Limitations and Alternatives
Despite our best efforts, some areas of the site may not yet be fully accessible. We are working to address the following:
- Embedded showcase reels. Some case study pages embed interactive showcase reels built with a third-party React framework. The framework provides keyboard support, but its focus order and labelling are not fully under our control. As an alternative, we will provide written transcripts, descriptive summaries, or static image sequences on request.
- Third-party content. Linked PDF case studies, social media embeds, and partner microsites are not always under our direct control and may not meet WCAG 2.2 AA. We work with our partners to improve these where possible.
If you encounter content that is not accessible to you, please contact us at coo@tesaria.tech and we will provide the information in an alternative format within five business days.
Testing Methodology
Accessibility is evaluated continuously throughout our design and development process using a combination of automated and manual methods:
- Automated testing with axe-core during development to surface common issues such as missing labels, insufficient contrast, and invalid ARIA usage.
- Manual keyboard testing on every interactive component, ensuring that all functionality is reachable and operable without a mouse.
- Screen reader testing with NVDA on Windows and VoiceOver on macOS and iOS for primary user flows.
- Visual review at multiple zoom levels and viewport sizes, including 200% zoom and 320 CSS pixels of width.
- Periodic full-site audits to verify ongoing conformance and to address any regressions.
