1. Our commitment
Stockio wants everyone, including people with disabilities and people using assistive technology, to be able to read our guides and use our tools. We are guided by the principles of British Columbia's Accessible British Columbia Act and the federal Accessible Canada Act: inclusion, adaptability, diversity, collaboration, self-determination and universal design.
2. Standard we aim for
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. This is a target we work towards continuously, not a certification.
3. What we do
- Semantic HTML with a logical heading structure, landmarks and descriptive link text.
- Full keyboard access to menus, search, dialogs and tool controls, with visible focus indicators.
- Text and interface colours chosen for sufficient contrast against their backgrounds.
- Labels for form fields and buttons, and text alternatives for meaningful images and icons.
- Layouts that reflow on small screens and remain usable when text is enlarged to 200%.
- No auto-playing media, flashing content or pop-ups.
- Articles written in plain language with clear headings, lists and summaries.
4. Known limitations
- Some interactive tools, such as colour pickers, visual generators and canvas-based previews, rely on visual output that may not be fully conveyed to screen readers. Where possible we also provide the result as text, for example the generated CSS or values.
- Code blocks and tool output may scroll horizontally to keep long lines readable.
- Third-party websites linked from our articles and directory are outside our control and may not meet the same standard.
We are working to address these limitations as we update each tool.
5. Compatibility
Stockio is designed to work with current versions of major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, and with common assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice control and browser zoom.
6. Feedback and alternative formats
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, or need content in a different format, please tell us. Email hello@stockio.com with the subject “Accessibility” and include the page address, what you were trying to do and, if you like, the browser and assistive technology you use. We aim to reply within two business days and to propose a fix or an alternative within ten business days.
7. Ongoing review
We review accessibility when we add or change pages and tools, using automated checks, keyboard-only testing and screen-reader spot checks. We will update this statement as we make improvements. See also our Terms of use.
