Accessibility is core to how Ethotechnics shows up.
We design systems that keep people at the center. That means building and maintaining experiences that welcome all visitors, especially those most impacted by inaccessible tools.
This statement outlines our current practices, how we evaluate accessibility, and the channels you can use to request additional support. We continuously iterate on these commitments as we learn from our community.

Accessibility is an ongoing practice. We pair audits with lived experience to guide every iteration.
Our accessibility commitments
Ethotechnics aligns with WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines and strives to exceed them when partner feedback indicates higher needs. Here is how we embed accessibility into our digital and in-person work.
Digital experience
- Semantic markup, descriptive headings, and consistent navigation patterns across the site.
- Minimum 4.5:1 color contrast for text, tested with both automated tooling and manual review.
- Keyboard navigability for all interactive components, including menus, forms, and disclosures.
Content and documentation
- Plain-language summaries and layered detail so readers can scan or dive deeper as needed.
- Alt text for imagery and transcripts or notes for audio, video, and workshop recordings.
- Clear indication of required form fields, error states, and follow-up expectations.
Collaboration and events
- Access riders for every engagement covering language justice, mobility, and sensory needs.
- Hybrid-friendly facilitation, including remote captioning, chat moderation, and recorded summaries.
- Event spaces chosen for step-free access, quiet breakout areas, and rest accommodations.
