Our accessibility approach
The platform is being developed with WCAG-oriented practices and a target of substantial alignment with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This statement describes an ongoing design and engineering standard rather than a claim that every page or third-party file has achieved formal certification.
What the website is designed to support
- Keyboard-accessible navigation and interactive controls.
- Semantic headings, landmarks and form labels.
- Visible focus states and practical touch targets for important controls.
- Responsive layouts that work across mobile, tablet and desktop screens.
- Readable contrast, browser zoom and scalable text.
- Alternative text for editorial images where descriptive information is available.
- Reduced-motion support for animated components such as the homepage hero slideshow.
- Operating-system high-contrast and forced-color modes where supported.
Vision for Liberia in accessible formats
The program is available as the standard interactive web experience and in simplified formats intended to reduce barriers for assistive-technology and low-vision users.
Documents, historical media and third-party content
Some older documents, archived photographs, externally hosted video, PDFs or third-party source material may not meet the same accessibility standard as the campaign's current web interface.
Where practical, the campaign will provide accessible summaries or web-based context for important documents and will improve media descriptions as the archive grows.
Forms and public participation
Contact, volunteer, newsletter and media-inquiry experiences should remain usable without relying solely on color, motion or a pointing device. If a form prevents you from submitting an inquiry, please use the alternative contact route available on the Contact page.
Automated regression testing
Production changes are checked through an automated quality gate that includes TypeScript validation, a production build and Lighthouse accessibility and SEO regression checks across the principal public routes. Automated checks supplement, rather than replace, manual keyboard and assistive-technology review.
Motion and visual effects
Animated campaign elements are designed to respect operating-system reduced-motion preferences where supported. Decorative motion should not be required to understand essential content or complete a website task.
Feedback and assistance
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, please contact the campaign and identify the page, feature or document involved. Where possible, include the device, browser or assistive technology being used so the issue can be reproduced and corrected.
Continuous review
Accessibility will be reviewed as new campaign pages, documents, video, forms and interactive features are introduced. Significant accessibility issues are treated as product defects rather than optional cosmetic improvements.
