Accessibility Statement

At HiiCrypto, we believe that cryptocurrency education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. We are committed to providing an inclusive educational platform that serves all users effectively, including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities.

Why Accessibility Matters in Crypto

Cryptocurrency represents financial freedom and inclusion, but this promise cannot be realized if the educational resources required to participate are inaccessible. We recognize that:

• 15% of the world's population lives with some form of disability
• Digital financial literacy is crucial for economic participation in the modern world
• Assistive technology users deserve the same quality of information as all other users
• Cognitive accessibility benefits everyone, including non-native speakers and elderly users

We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards to ensure our platform is usable by the widest possible audience. Our compliance framework covers all four WCAG principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.

Supported Browsers

We test our platform across the following browser and assistive technology combinations to ensure broad compatibility:

• Chrome: Latest 2 versions (with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver)
• Firefox: Latest 2 versions (with NVDA and VoiceOver)
• Safari: Latest 2 versions (with VoiceOver on macOS and iOS)
• Edge: Latest 2 versions (with NVDA and Narrator)
• Mobile Safari: iOS 14+ (with VoiceOver)
• Chrome Mobile: Android 10+ (with TalkBack)

Assistive Technologies

Our platform is optimized for use with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen Readers: NVDA (Windows), JAWS (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), TalkBack (Android), Narrator (Windows)
• Voice Control: Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Windows Speech Recognition, macOS Voice Control
• Switch Access: Compatible with switch navigation systems and eye-tracking devices
• Screen Magnification: ZoomText, Windows Magnifier, macOS Zoom
• Browser Extensions: Dark Reader, Read Aloud, Grammarly (compatible but not required)

Visual Accessibility

• Color contrast ratios meet WCAG AA standards (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text)
• Text is resizable up to 200% without loss of functionality or horizontal scrolling
• Images include descriptive alternative text; decorative images have null alt attributes
• Information is never conveyed through color alone; patterns and labels supplement color coding
• Focus indicators are highly visible with 3:1 contrast ratio against adjacent colors
• No text images; all text is actual text allowing user customization

Motor Accessibility

• All interactive elements are fully keyboard accessible without mouse requirement
• Touch targets are minimum 44x44 pixels on mobile devices
• No time-sensitive content that could cause pressure or exclusion
• Form validation allows easy correction without data loss
• No precision gestures required; simple taps and clicks suffice
• Motion-triggered animations can be disabled via prefers-reduced-motion

Cognitive Accessibility

• Clear and consistent navigation patterns across all pages
• Simple language targeting 8th-grade reading level (Flesch-Kincaid)
• Error messages clearly identify problems and provide specific solutions
• Logical flow of content with clear headings and section divisions
• No automatic media playback; user controls all moving content
• Acronyms and technical terms defined on first use
• Step-by-step instructions for complex processes like wallet setup

Auditory Accessibility

• All audio content includes transcripts
• Video content includes synchronized captions
• Visual alternatives for audio cues and alerts
• No auto-playing audio that cannot be controlled

Screen Readers

Our platform is designed to work seamlessly with popular screen readers. We use semantic HTML5 elements (header, nav, main, article, footer), proper heading hierarchy (h1-h6), and ARIA landmarks to ensure content is properly announced and navigable.

• Landmarks: Banner, navigation, main, complementary, and contentinfo regions clearly defined
• Headings: Logical hierarchy allowing quick navigation by heading level
• Lists: Proper list markup for screen reader announcement of list size and position
• Tables: Data tables include proper headers and captions; layout tables avoided
• Forms: All inputs have associated labels; error messages linked via aria-describedby

Voice Recognition Software

Interactive elements are clearly labeled with visible text labels, enabling activation using voice commands with software like Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Windows Speech Recognition, and macOS Voice Control. All clickable elements have descriptive link text (no "click here" or "read more" without context).

Switch Navigation

Our interface supports switch navigation for users who cannot use a standard keyboard or mouse. We ensure sufficient time limits, logical focus order, and clear focus indicators to facilitate single-switch or multi-switch navigation.

Magnification Software

Content remains readable and functional when magnified up to 200% using browser zoom or magnification software like ZoomText. Layouts are responsive and reflow properly at high zoom levels without horizontal scrolling.

Accessibility is an ongoing journey. Here's our planned improvements for the coming year:

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is not a one-time project but an ongoing commitment. We regularly undertake the following activities to maintain and improve accessibility:

• Automated Testing: Weekly scans using axe-core, WAVE, and Lighthouse to catch regressions
• Manual Audits: Quarterly comprehensive manual testing by accessibility specialists
• User Testing: Bi-annual testing sessions with users who have disabilities
• Training: All content creators and developers complete accessibility training
• Standards Monitoring: We stay informed about evolving WCAG standards and best practices
• Community Feedback: Active collection and integration of user accessibility feedback

User Feedback Integration

We welcome feedback from all users, especially those with disabilities, to help us improve our accessibility. Your input directly shapes our development priorities. We commit to responding to accessibility feedback within 2 business days and implementing feasible suggestions within 30 days.
