Accessibility

Our goal

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA across our website, account pages and stories. We're a small team and still growing, so we test as we build and fix problems as soon as we find them.

What we've built in

• Adjustable story text. Make the words bigger or smaller in the story reader, and your choice is remembered. Browser and phone zoom work too.
• Your choice of format. Read stories on screen, in an email, by text-message link, or as a printable page.
• Keyboard friendly. Menus, forms, buttons and dialogs can be used without a mouse, with visible focus outlines.
• Screen reader support. Images have text descriptions, form fields have labels, and errors are announced.
• Readable design. Clear fonts, strong color contrast, and layouts that work on phones, tablets and computers.
• Calm motion. We keep animation to a minimum and respect your device's "reduce motion" setting.
• Plain language. We try to write simply and avoid jargon.

Known limitations

• Printable story pages are designed for paper. If you use a screen reader, the on-screen story in the reader or your email will work best.
• Billing pages are run by our payment provider, Stripe, which maintains its own accessibility standards.
