Accessibility Statement
Our Commitment
GrubGrade is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually work to improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, and we consider accessibility requirements under the Equality Act 2010.
What We Do
- Semantic HTML— We use meaningful, standards-compliant HTML elements to ensure content is structured correctly for assistive technologies.
- Keyboard navigation — All interactive elements are reachable and operable using a keyboard alone. A visible focus indicator is displayed on all focusable elements.
- Screen reader support — We use ARIA attributes, live regions, and descriptive labels so screen readers can convey the state and purpose of interactive controls.
- Colour contrast— Text and interactive elements are designed to meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast ratios against our dark background surfaces.
- Reduced motion— Animations and transitions are suppressed when the operating system's “reduce motion” preference is enabled.
- Skip-to-content link — A skip link is provided at the top of every page so keyboard users can bypass the navigation and jump straight to the main content.
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, some parts of GrubGrade may not be fully accessible:
- Some dynamic content (such as live score updates and loading states) may not announce immediately to screen readers.
- Third-party embedded content (such as Google Places autocomplete) may not be fully accessible, as it is controlled by external providers.
