Accessibility Statement

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more accessible to users with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Portfolio Tracker is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partial conformance means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to address all known issues.

Technical Specifications

Portfolio Tracker relies on the following technologies for conformance with WCAG 2.1:

• HTML5
• CSS3
• WAI-ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications)
• JavaScript (React / Next.js)

The site has been tested with keyboard-only navigation, macOS VoiceOver, NVDA on Windows, and automated accessibility checkers.

Measures Taken to Support Accessibility

• Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements are reachable and operable via keyboard. A visible skip-navigation link is provided at the top of every page.
• Screen reader support: ARIA roles, labels, and live regions are used throughout to announce dynamic content updates such as price changes, form errors, and loading states.
• Colour contrast: Text colours are chosen to meet or exceed the WCAG 2.1 AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text. Both dark and light themes are maintained to this standard.
• Focus indicators: All focusable elements display a visible gold-coloured outline on keyboard focus. We do not suppress the browser’s default focus ring unless we provide a custom, equally visible replacement.
• Semantic HTML: Pages use proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions (main, nav, footer), and semantic elements throughout.
• Form accessibility: All form inputs have visible labels associated via htmlFor/id pairs. Required fields are indicated, and validation errors are announced to screen readers via role="alert".
• Reduced motion: Decorative animations (pulsing dots, skeleton loaders, slide transitions) are disabled when the user has enabled the "Reduce Motion" preference in their operating system.
• Accessibility toolbar: A persistent toolbar (gold button, bottom-right corner of every page) lets users enable large text, high contrast, stop animations, increased text spacing, a dyslexia-friendly typeface, link highlighting, extra line height, and grayscale mode. Preferences are saved locally and restored on the next visit.
• Images & icons: Decorative SVG icons carry aria-hidden="true". Any icon that conveys meaning is accompanied by an accessible label or descriptive text.
• Responsive design: The site is fully usable at browser text sizes up to 200% and on viewports from 320 px wide. Touch targets are sized to at least 44×44 px.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas are still being improved:

• Live price data: Prices update every 30 seconds. The live-update region is announced to screen readers, but users who prefer to avoid frequent interruptions may wish to pause auto-refresh via the "Auto-Update" toggle in the portfolio view.

Enforcement Procedure

If you are not satisfied with our response to your accessibility feedback, you may contact the relevant national or regional equality or accessibility enforcement body in your jurisdiction. In Israel, matters relating to web accessibility for persons with disabilities may be directed to the Commission for Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities (שיוויון זכויות לאנשים עם מוגבלות) within the Ministry of Justice.
