Key point

We aim to align the Site with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA where reasonably achievable. This is a goal, not a claim that every page or third-party component currently conforms.

Our Accessibility Commitment

We work toward clear heading structure, keyboard access, visible focus states, readable contrast, descriptive links, text alternatives for meaningful images, responsive layouts, and reduced-motion support.

Accessibility Standard

WCAG is an internationally recognized technical standard for web accessibility. The Site’s target is WCAG 2.2 Level AA, while recognizing that accessibility is an ongoing process involving content, design, code, testing, and third-party tools.

Measures We Aim to Maintain

Measures We Aim to Maintain
Keyboard-operable navigation
Visible focus indicators
Labels for controls and menus
Alternative text for informative images
Responsive text and layouts
Reduced-motion accommodation
Plain language where possible

Known and Possible Limitations

Third-party embeds, advertising, archived files, externally hosted documents, complex forms, and older content may not fully meet the same accessibility standard. We work to identify practical alternatives when a barrier is reported.

Report an Accessibility Barrier

Email accessibility@thelawbasics.com and include the page URL, the barrier encountered, the browser or assistive technology used if comfortable sharing it, and the format or accommodation that would help.

Our Response

We will review legitimate reports and make reasonable efforts to provide the information in an accessible format or correct a confirmed barrier. Resolution time depends on complexity and whether the barrier is controlled by a third party.

Ongoing Review

Accessibility should be checked when templates, navigation, plugins, embedded tools, color systems, or content formats change.
