Accessibility

We want spreat.com to be usable by everyone - regardless of how they read, hear, see or operate it. This statement describes where we stand.

Scope of this statement

This statement applies to the website spreat.com. As a service aimed at businesses, it does not, as we understand it, fall under the obligations of the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) - we publish this statement voluntarily, because accessibility is part of what we expect of good software.

What we aim for

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA - the benchmark the European standard EN 301 549 also applies to websites. We do not meet that standard on every point yet - we keep working on it and check new pages and components against these criteria.

Following a self-assessment, the website is partially compliant with these requirements. A formal external audit has not taken place so far.

Measures in place

  • Semantic HTML with a logical heading hierarchy and exactly one main heading per page.
  • A skip link at the top of the page leads straight to the content, past the navigation.
  • The entire website can be operated with the keyboard; the focus is visible at all times.
  • Animations respect the system setting for reduced motion - anyone who has enabled it gets the content without motion effects.
  • Form fields have visible labels; error messages are technically linked to their fields and are read out by screen readers in context.
  • Images carry alternative texts, purely decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers.
  • The layout works from 270 to 3840 pixels wide and at strong zoom levels without horizontal scrolling.
  • Audio and video content never starts by itself.
  • The language of every page is marked up technically, in the English and French versions too.

Known limitations

  • As a text colour on a light background, our brand green does not reach the AA contrast value. We use it deliberately and sparingly - never for longer texts, and important information never depends on this colour alone.
  • A few elaborate animations - the shelf animation on the homepage, for instance - are switched off when motion is reduced, and their information is then available as static content; we keep checking that the two are equivalent.
  • There are no complete transcripts yet for the audio recordings in our stories.
