ACCESSIBILITY
Clarity should be available to everyone.
Axiom aims to create digital experiences that are understandable, navigable, and usable across devices, input methods, and accessibility needs.
Accessibility is treated as part of the website’s engineering quality, not as an optional visual preference.
01
Accessibility is part of the system.
Axiom Website V0.1 is designed with accessibility considerations including:
- readable typography
- sufficient color contrast
- keyboard navigation
- visible focus states
- meaningful page structure
- descriptive link and control labels
- appropriately sized touch targets
- responsive layouts
- reduced-motion support
- content that does not depend on hover interaction
- diagrams that remain understandable on smaller screens
These standards should be validated during implementation and quality assurance.
02
How this website is tested today
As of this version:
- Axiom targets WCAG 2.2 AA.
- Every page is scanned with automated accessibility testing on desktop and mobile as part of the build.
- Keyboard navigation, visible focus states, heading structure, reduced-motion behavior, touch target sizes, and color contrast have been engineered into the current pages and checked during each build phase.
- Automated testing does not replace testing with real assistive technology. Testing with screen readers and other assistive technologies has not yet been completed, and no third-party accessibility audit has been performed.
This statement does not claim full conformance or certification. It describes the work that has been done and the work that remains.
03
Motion should never block understanding.
Animation and interaction are used only where they help explain flow, state, or hierarchy.
The site should respect reduced-motion preferences and should remain understandable and usable without decorative animation.
Meaning before motion.
04
Mobile is designed intentionally.
Axiom does not treat mobile as a smaller desktop layout.
Important content, proof, navigation, forms, diagrams, and calls to action should remain readable and usable on smaller screens without requiring precision tapping or unnecessary horizontal scrolling.
Compress presentation, not substance.
05
The assessment should be easy to complete.
The assessment experience is designed around clear labels, logical sequencing, visible progress, understandable error messages, and controls that work across keyboard, touch, and supported assistive technologies.
Important information should not depend on color alone.
Entered information should not be lost unnecessarily when correcting errors or moving between steps.
06
Tell us if something is getting in the way.
If you encounter an accessibility barrier on the Axiom website, we want to know.
A dedicated accessibility contact address will be published here once it is established.
When you contact us, please include, where possible:
- the page you were using
- what you were trying to accomplish
- what prevented you from completing the task
We will use that information to investigate and improve the experience.
Accessibility is an ongoing engineering responsibility.
