Accessibility
JDEVerse is committed to making our platform accessible and inclusive for everyone. We work to make it easier for people with different abilities and assistive-technology needs to discover, learn, connect and participate.

Standards & Guidelines
JDEVerse aims to follow recognised accessibility practices, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), with a target of Level AA for applicable user-facing experiences.
- WCAG 2.2 Level AA Our target for applicable user-facing experiences.
- WAI-ARIA Used where native HTML semantics need additional accessibility support.
- Keyboard Accessible Core journeys operable without a mouse.
- Screen Reader Support Semantic structure, accessible names and landmarks.
- Colour Contrast Sufficient contrast, and never colour alone.
- Responsive & Scalable Works across supported screen sizes and zoom levels.
These are the standards we work towards. JDEVerse is not currently claiming WCAG conformance or certification. Accessibility is assessed and improved continuously as the platform evolves.
