Accessibility Statement

Retrocause is committed to making retrocause.com accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Equal access to information is foundational — we treat accessibility as a discipline, not a checkbox.

Our Conformance Target

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA published by the World Wide Web Consortium. WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard referenced by most U.S. federal agencies, many state governments, and most accessibility laws internationally — including the European Accessibility Act.

What We've Done

Specific measures we've taken to make retrocause.com meet WCAG 2.1 AA:

  • Color contrast. All text and interactive elements meet or exceed the 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio for body text and 3:1 for large text.
  • Keyboard navigation. Every interactive element — links, buttons, form fields, the mobile menu — is reachable and operable using only a keyboard.
  • Visible focus indicators. A clearly visible outline appears on any element that receives keyboard focus.
  • Skip to main content. A skip link at the top of every page lets keyboard and screen reader users bypass the navigation.
  • Form labels. All form fields have programmatically associated labels so screen readers announce them correctly.
  • Autocomplete hints. Form fields include autocomplete attributes to assist users with motor or cognitive disabilities.
  • ARIA landmarks. The page structure uses semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks (navigation, main, footer) to help assistive technology users orient themselves.
  • Alt text. All meaningful images have descriptive alt text. Decorative images are marked as such and hidden from assistive tech.
  • Reduced motion.Users who enable the “reduce motion” system preference will see animations replaced with instant transitions.
  • Language declaration. Every page declares its language so screen readers pronounce content correctly.
  • Heading hierarchy. Pages use a logical heading structure (H1 → H2 → H3) to support navigation via headings.

Known Limitations

We aim for full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, but some areas may not be fully accessible. We are aware of the following limitations:

  • Embedded video player.Our testimonial video is delivered through Wistia, a third-party service. Wistia's player supports captions and keyboard controls, but we do not control the player directly. If a specific accessibility issue prevents you from using the video, please let us know so we can provide an alternative.
  • LinkedIn profile icons. SVG icons that link to personal LinkedIn profiles are labeled for screen readers, but experience may vary by screen reader and browser combination.

If you encounter a barrier we haven't listed, please tell us — we want to fix it.

Feedback and Contact

If you experience a barrier to accessibility on retrocause.com, please let us know. Your feedback helps us improve.

  • Email: hello@retrocause.com
  • Subject line:“Accessibility feedback — [brief description]”
  • Response time: We aim to respond within three business days.

If we are unable to resolve your issue through direct communication, you may have additional avenues for formal complaint under laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or, for residents of the European Union, the European Accessibility Act.

Assessment Approach

Our accessibility was assessed through:

  • Automated testing with Lighthouse and axe-core
  • Manual keyboard-only testing
  • Semantic HTML review
  • Color contrast verification against WCAG AA thresholds

We plan to reassess accessibility whenever we make substantial changes to the Site, and at minimum annually.
