Accessibility Statement · Last reviewed July 9, 2026

1. Our commitment

ActiveWater Labs wants every visitor — including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, or reduced-motion settings — to be able to read about our company and reach us without friction. Accessibility is part of how this site is built, not a layer added afterward.

2. Conformance target

We aim for conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. This site is young and hand-built, and we treat the target as a living engineering requirement: new pages are checked against it before publishing, and reported issues are triaged like product bugs.

3. Measures we've taken

  • Semantic structure — landmarks (header, nav, main, footer), one h1 per page, and a logical heading hierarchy;
  • Keyboard support — every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator and a "skip to content" link on every page;
  • Color contrast — body text and interface elements are designed to meet or exceed AA contrast ratios on both the dark and light sections;
  • Reduced motion — all scroll-reveal and hover animations are disabled when your system requests prefers-reduced-motion;
  • Descriptive links and labels — navigation landmarks are labeled, decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology, and informative diagrams carry text alternatives;
  • Resilient rendering — the site is static HTML and remains fully readable if JavaScript fails or is disabled;
  • Zoom & reflow — layouts reflow without horizontal scrolling at 200% zoom and on small screens.

4. Known limitations

  • Some inline SVG diagrams convey their content through a single summary description rather than element-by-element detail; the surrounding text always carries the full information.
  • Third-party sites we link to (mineraldose.com, Kickstarter, social platforms) have their own accessibility practices that we don't control.

If you hit something not listed here, it's a bug — please tell us.

5. Compatibility

The site is tested with current versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, on desktop and mobile, and is built with standards-based HTML and CSS so it degrades gracefully in older browsers. It does not require JavaScript, cookies, or any plugin to read.

6. Feedback & contact

If any part of this site is difficult for you to use, email hello@activewaterlabs.com with the subject "Accessibility". Please mention the page, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology involved if any. We aim to respond within two business days and to fix confirmed issues promptly.
