Accessibility statements

Safespace Research is committed to making our website and app usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technologies. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA.

Website Accessibility Statement

How this site was built

This website was designed and built with the support of Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding assistant, including an iterative accessibility review, automated testing with axe-core, and a manual review. The automated checks report zero violations in both the light and dark themes.

What we've done

• Semantic HTML5 landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer) and a “Skip to content” link for keyboard users.
• A logical heading structure that screen-reader users can navigate.
• Full keyboard operability. Every interactive element is reachable and operable from the keyboard, with a clearly visible focus indicator. The app preview and the four-pillar blueprint also update on keyboard focus, not only on click.
• Focus follows the keyboard. Tab moves through the interactive controls, and the card or control you land on is gently scrolled into view, with the four-pillar content revealing in a logical reading order, so the focus is always visible and in context.
• Colour contrast that meets WCAG AA, verified in both light and dark themes.
• A light theme and a dark theme, plus a dyslexia-friendly reading mode (the OpenDyslexic typeface with increased letter, word and line spacing).
• Respect for the operating-system “reduce motion” preference. Animations and smooth scrolling are switched off when requested.
• Text alternatives for images and descriptive labels for icon-only buttons and the sign-up field.
• An on-screen, keyboard-operable joystick on the interactive knowledge graph, so it can be panned, zoomed and reset without a mouse.
• Support for browser zoom up to 400% and text reflow without loss of content.

Conformance status

This site aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 level AA. It is an evolving product, and some third-party or embedded content may not yet be fully accessible.

App Accessibility Statement

How the app was built

Accessibility for the app has so far been addressed through manual design work: our team thought about accessibility throughout the design process.

What we've done

• Colour contrast. We chose a colour palette with a good contrast ratio.
• A light theme and a dark theme, and a night shift mode that automatically switches between the light theme during the day and the dark theme at night.
• A left-hand / right-hand mode.
• One-finger tap navigation, with visible buttons and tap alternatives wherever the app can also be navigated with a horizontal swipe.
• A dyslexia-friendly reading mode for the AI chat (Write page), switching the font to OpenDyslexic. This is currently limited to the Write page, since it's where longer stretches of text appear; extending it app-wide raised layout and spacing issues elsewhere in the app.

Conformance status

The app aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 level AA, adapted to mobile accessibility guidelines. Full accessibility testing is planned but has not been performed as of 18 August 2026: this includes testing with VoiceOver screen readers and Voice Control, and a re-check of colour contrast on the newest version.

Feedback

If you encounter any accessibility barrier on the website or in the app, please tell us at info@safespaceresearch.com. We take such reports seriously and will do our best to put things right.
