Accessibility

A compliance tool that everyone on your team can use.

Mortevo Audit is built to WCAG 2.2 AA as a floor. This page describes what we've done, what's in progress, and how to tell us when we've missed something.

Our standard

Accessibility is treated as a product requirement, not a retrofit. Every screen ships against a Mortevo Product Constitution that mandates WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, AAA contrast where practical, and colour-plus-icon-plus-text status indicators — never colour alone.

What we do

  • Keyboard-first. Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard. Focus is always visible via a persistent :focus-visible ring.
  • Semantic HTML. Headings, landmarks, lists and tables are structured for assistive technologies. Icons that convey information are paired with visible text.
  • Reduced motion. Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion. Motion is limited to 150–250ms fades and slides.
  • Readable by default. Body text is 17px with a 1.6 line-height. The primary typeface is Open Sans, with Montserrat for headings, chosen for clear character shapes at UI sizes.
  • Contrast. Text meets AA at minimum. Status colours are tested against light and dark surfaces.
  • Plain English. Errors explain the fix. Enum values from the database are humanised before they appear in the UI.

Where we're still working

  • Screen-reader announcements on long-running server actions.
  • Complete ARIA labelling on the regulatory graph explorer.
  • High-contrast theme for users who prefer stronger separation.

Report a barrier

If any part of Mortevo Audit is inaccessible to you, email support@mortivoaudit.co.uk with a short description of what you were trying to do and the assistive technology you use. We aim to acknowledge within one working day and to include a remediation ETA in that acknowledgement.

Formal review

A full third-party accessibility audit is planned before General Availability. The report will be published on this page with any findings and their remediation status.
