ACCESSIBILITY COMMITMENT
Health for Everyone, Without Barriers
We believe every woman deserves equal access to health tools and information. SHELY is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, ensuring our platform works for all users regardless of ability.
Compliance Dashboard
Our ongoing assessment against WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria, broken down by the four core principles of accessibility.
Accessibility Features
Built-in features that make SHELY accessible to users with diverse needs and abilities.
Full Keyboard Navigation
Every feature on SHELY can be accessed and operated using only a keyboard.
Screen Reader Support
SHELY is fully compatible with popular screen readers, ensuring all content is announced correctly.
High Contrast & Colour
Colour is never the sole means of conveying information. All elements meet minimum contrast ratios.
Motor Accessibility
Large touch targets, generous spacing, and alternative input methods for users with motor impairments.
Cognitive Accessibility
Clear language, consistent layouts, and helpful guidance for users with cognitive differences.
Mobile Accessibility
Fully responsive design that adapts to any screen size, orientation, and zoom level.
Assistive Technology Compatibility
We regularly test SHELY with the most popular assistive technologies to ensure compatibility.
