Accessibility
Last updated 9 November 2026
We want Foliate to work for everyone, including people who use a keyboard, a screen reader, a phone or a magnifier.
Our aim
We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. That includes readable colour contrast in both themes, visible keyboard focus, labelled form fields, and layouts that work down to a 360 pixel wide screen.
What we have checked
- Automated checks with axe on the landing page and the main app screens, in light and dark themes, with no WCAG A or AA issues reported at the last check.
- Colour pairs measured against the AA contrast ratio.
- Reduced motion: animation is switched off for people who ask their device for it.
- The draggable week on the landing page has arrow buttons and arrow keys as an alternative to dragging.
What we know is not finished
- Automated tools find only some problems. We have not yet had the app tested with a range of screen readers or by disabled users.
- The print layout for the portfolio has not been fully checked.
- Some wording from the IB could not be confirmed against its own guides, which is a content issue and not an accessibility one, but worth knowing.
