Accessibility
In the app
Accessibility is treated as a design discipline in Varuno rather than an afterthought:
- Controls carry semantic labels for VoiceOver, and dynamic updates use live regions.
- Reduce Motion is honoured: enabling it removes movement, never content. Ambient animation is the first thing to go.
- Tap targets meet the 44-point minimum.
- Colour is never the only signal — states are conveyed with text and shape as well.
- Numbers use tabular figures for stable, readable alignment.
Honest status: these conventions are built into the app’s components and covered by automated tests, but the app has not yet been formally audited against WCAG or Apple’s accessibility certification paths, and device-level VoiceOver passes are part of the ongoing QA cycle. If you rely on assistive technology and something in Varuno gets in your way, please tell us — that feedback directly shapes the audit backlog.
On this support site
This site targets WCAG 2.2 AA:
- Semantic landmarks, headings and skip-to-content link on every page
- Full keyboard navigability with visible focus indicators
- Labelled form fields with error summaries that move focus to the problem
- Alt text on informative images; decorative images are hidden from assistive tech
- Text resizes with your browser settings; zooming is never disabled
prefers-reduced-motionis honoured — the few interface transitions are removed, and the decorative constellation graphic is static in the first place- Contrast checked against the AA thresholds, including on the dark Varuno pages
