CannaVerdict aims to provide a usable experience across keyboard navigation, screen readers, zoom, reduced-motion preferences and mobile devices.
1. Commitment
CannaVerdict aims to make its public website usable by as many people as reasonably possible, including visitors using keyboards, screen readers, magnification, voice input, reduced-motion settings and mobile devices.
2. Accessibility target
The website is designed with the general principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines in mind, particularly perceivability, operability, understandability and robustness. This statement does not represent a formal external certification.
3. Accessibility features
- semantic page landmarks and logical heading structure;
- a skip link to bypass repeated navigation;
- keyboard-operable navigation, filters, accordions and links;
- visible keyboard focus indicators;
- responsive layouts intended to support zoom and small screens;
- alternative text for winner logos and identifying images;
- reduced-motion support where animations are used;
- labels and accessible names for interactive controls;
- high-contrast text and scalable typography;
- descriptive link labels and clear active states;
- structured legal documents with contents navigation.
4. Supported technologies
The site is designed for current versions of major browsers and commonly used assistive technologies. Older browsers, unsupported extensions or heavily customised environments may not receive the same visual or functional experience.
5. Known limitations
Third-party logos can contain embedded text, colour combinations or graphical details that CannaVerdict cannot fully control. External websites linked from winner pages are operated independently and may have different accessibility standards.
Long legal tables are presented in responsive containers and may require horizontal scrolling on small screens. Important information is also described in surrounding text where practical.
Some brand names, social-media handles or legal terminology may be difficult for certain assistive technologies to pronounce consistently.
6. Testing and maintenance
Accessibility review may include keyboard testing, responsive layout checks, code inspection, colour-contrast review, zoom testing and automated tools. Automated testing cannot identify every barrier, so manual review remains important.
New components, winner images, content and third-party services should be reviewed before publication. Accessibility regressions should be treated as defects.
7. Alternative formats and assistance
Where reasonably possible, CannaVerdict will consider requests for accessible alternatives to important public information. The available solution may depend on the nature of the content and the requested format.
8. Feedback and contact
If you encounter an accessibility barrier, contact info@cannaverdict.com. Please include the page URL, a description of the problem, the browser or assistive technology used and the type of assistance that would be helpful.
9. Response and prioritisation
Reported barriers are reviewed according to severity, frequency, technical feasibility and impact on access to core content. Critical barriers affecting navigation or access to essential information receive priority.
10. Ongoing improvement
CannaVerdict may update this statement as the website, testing methods and accessibility expectations develop.
