WCAG 2.1 LEVEL AA COMMITMENT

Checked Out is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology. We strive to meet or exceed the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which outline best practices for making web content more usable for people with diverse abilities.

Accessibility is integrated into both our design and development process to ensure an inclusive experience across the entire site.

1. Assistive Technologies Supported

Our website is designed to support users who rely on assistive technologies, including:

• SCREEN READERS • KEYBOARD NAVIGATION • VOICE RECOGNITION • SCREEN MAGNIFICATION • CLOSED CAPTIONING • ALTERNATIVE INPUT DEVICES

2. What We've Implemented

To improve accessibility, we have implemented and continue to maintain the following practices:

1.

SEMANTIC & STRUCTURED HTML

  • Proper heading hierarchy (H1–H6)
  • Clear, logical page structure
  • ARIA labels where appropriate
2.

KEYBOARD NAVIGATION

  • Key content navigable keyboard-only
  • Visible focus states on menus, buttons & fields
  • Logical and predictable tab order
3.

VISUAL ACCESSIBILITY

3. Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. As our website evolves, we continually review and refine our approach. Current areas of focus include:

● Improving screen reader announcements for interactive elements
● Expanding video caption and transcript coverage
● Reducing motion or animation that may trigger sensitivities
● Refining navigation consistency across pages
● Reviewing third-party embeds and integrations for compliance
Please note that some third-party tools or plugins may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. While we prioritize accessible partners, certain external technologies may be outside of our direct control.
