Accessibility Statement

Last updated: April 26, 2026

Operant Technologies is committed to making its products and this website accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities. This statement describes the standard we target, the steps we take to meet it, and how to report issues you encounter.

Our target standard

We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA across our marketing site (operanttechnologies.com), the customer Panel, and our products including Stage and Relay. Level AA is the standard most regulators and enterprise buyers expect, and we treat it as the floor rather than the ceiling.

What we do today

  • Use semantic HTML (headings, landmarks, lists, labels) so assistive technology can navigate predictably.
  • Provide visible focus indicators on every interactive element via a global CSS rule, not per-component overrides that drift over time.
  • Honor the user’s prefers-reduced-motion setting. Animations either don’t play or play in near-zero duration when it’s on.
  • Maintain color contrast of at least 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text and meaningful UI elements.
  • Pair every form input with an associated label, and surface errors with text, not color alone.
  • Provide a “skip to main content” link as the first focusable element on every page.
  • Set the document’s language attribute and update page titles for each route so screen readers announce context correctly.

Known limitations

Some areas are still being improved. As of the date above:

  • Several screenshot placeholders on the marketing site carry their description in an aria-label; they will be replaced with real product captures and meaningful alt text as the assets land.
  • The Stage editor is keyboard-navigable but the canvas drag-and-drop layer is not yet fully usable without a pointer. We’re tracking this as a known gap.
  • Third-party services we link to (such as Stripe’s hosted billing portal) are governed by their own accessibility standards.

We treat each gap as a defect, not a permanent state. New issues are prioritized in our normal product backlog.

How we test

  • Manual keyboard-only testing on each major user flow (login, dashboard editing, screen pairing, contact form).
  • Spot-checking with screen readers on macOS (VoiceOver) and Windows (NVDA).
  • Color contrast checks against design tokens in our shared package, so every product surface inherits the same passing palette.
  • Automated linting against accessibility rules in our CI pipeline.

Report an issue

If something isn’t working for you, we want to hear from you. Email accessibility@operanttechnologies.com with the page or product, the device and assistive technology you’re using, and a brief description of the issue. We aim to acknowledge within one business day and respond with next steps within five.
