Accessibility

A platform built to be used by everyone.

Beedy follows the WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines: browsing pros, booking a service and managing your account should work whatever your device or disability.

Last updated: May 12, 2026

Our commitment

Accessibility is a core product principle at Beedy. We treat it like any other quality requirement: it is built into our design system and covered by automated checks that run on every change.

When something doesn't work well with assistive technologies — or simply for someone who uses the platform differently — we treat it as a bug worth fixing fast.

Standard followed

Beedy targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance, which is the de facto standard for compliance with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 12181–12189) for places of public accommodation. We also align with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d) where a federal-procurement nexus applies.

Visual accessibility

For people who rely on a screen reader, screen magnification, custom colors, or who simply struggle with low contrast.

What we’ve shipped

  • High color contrast: All text, icons and interactive elements meet at least the WCAG AA contrast ratio (4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and graphics).

  • Alt text on every image: Each photo, illustration and decorative icon has an appropriate alt attribute (or aria-hidden when purely decorative) so screen readers convey the right context.

  • Resizable text and zoom-friendly layouts: The interface is built to stay usable up to 200% browser zoom, in desktop and mobile browsers alike.

Auditory accessibility

For deaf or hard-of-hearing users — and for anyone who prefers reading over listening.

What we’ve shipped

  • No audio-only critical info: Notifications and important alerts never rely on sound alone — there is always a visual or textual equivalent.

Motor accessibility

For users navigating with a keyboard, switch device or voice control.

What we’ve shipped

  • Full keyboard navigation: Every interactive element is reachable with Tab and operable with Enter or Space. A skip-to-content link sits at the top of every page and jumps past the header.

  • Clear focus indicators: A visible focus ring (or high-contrast outline) appears on every focused element — never relying on color alone.

  • Generous touch targets: Buttons and form fields are 44 px tall on phones, above the 24×24 px minimum set by WCAG 2.2 success criterion 2.5.8 (Target Size, Minimum).

Cognitive accessibility

Clarity helps everyone, and it matters most for people with dyslexia or an attention disorder, and for anyone acting under pressure.

What we’ve shipped

  • Plain language: Copy is written in short, direct sentences. Legal pages and help articles avoid jargon wherever the plain word does the job.

  • Consistent layout: Navigation, terminology and visual hierarchy stay consistent across the platform so muscle memory works.

  • No surprise actions: Destructive actions (delete account, cancel booking) always require a confirmation step and clearly describe the consequence.

Known limitations

We aim for full WCAG 2.2 AA conformance; a few areas are still open. We list them publicly so you know what to expect.

In-progress items

Some embedded third-party components — the Mapbox address and map widgets, and the Stripe payment form — are outside our control and are not covered by our own accessibility testing.
