GotAlt's accessibility statement

Dated 11 August 2026. This is our own site, checked against the same standard we ask you to check yours against.

Our commitment

We build accessibility tools, so our own site failing basic checks would be a bad look and a worse product decision. We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA across gotalt.com. We test the site ourselves, using our own scanner and deep audit alongside manual keyboard and screen reader passes, and we fix what we find as quickly as we reasonably can.

Conformance status

gotalt.com is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partially conformant means some parts of the content don't yet fully meet the standard — the known issues are listed below. We are not going to tell you this site has zero known issues. An accessibility vendor claiming perfect conformance is a claim we wouldn't believe from a competitor, so we're not going to make it about ourselves.

Known issues

These are the issues we currently know about and haven't yet fixed:

  • Wide results tables on small screens. The scan results table can be wider than very small screens can display without horizontal scrolling. The table scrolls rather than overflowing the page, but that scroll interaction isn't ideal on a phone.
  • The colour picker relies on the browser. The colour input in our contrast checker uses the browser's native <input type="color"> control rather than a custom-built one. That control's own keyboard operation and screen reader labelling vary by browser and operating system, and that variation is outside our control.
  • Long audit results are announced as one update, not item by item. When a deep audit finishes and the results section populates, screen reader users get a single status announcement that results have loaded, rather than each individual finding being announced as it appears. For long result sets this means more manual navigation to review everything.

Why we publish this list instead of claiming perfection

Because a list you can check is more useful, and more honest, than a claim you have to take on trust — and because that's exactly what we tell our own users to expect from every site they run through GotAlt.

How we test

We run gotalt.com through our own free scan and deep audit, the same checks a visitor would get. That covers the 16 rule-based checks — missing alt text, placeholder alt text, page language, page title, link and button accessible names, form labels, heading structure, iframe titles, zoom, tab order, duplicate IDs, aria-hidden misuse, timed refresh and autoplaying media — plus the AI-verified alt text and image checks. On top of that, we do manual passes with a keyboard only (no mouse) and with a screen reader, because our own tooling can't detect everything either. See our methodology page for the full list of what our checks can and can't see.

What we do when we find something

We fix it, or we add it to the known issues list above until we do. We don't have a support team or a ticketing system behind this — it's built by one person — so fixes go out as time allows rather than on a fixed schedule. Anything reported to us gets a reply within two working days even if the fix itself takes longer.

Feedback

If you hit an accessibility barrier anywhere on gotalt.com, tell us: hello@gotalt.com. Include the page URL and, if you can, what assistive technology or browser you were using — it makes the problem much faster to reproduce. We aim to respond within two working days.

This statement isn't legal advice, and conformance with WCAG isn't the same thing as compliance with any specific law. Our EAA guide and ADA Title II guide cover what the relevant laws actually require.
