Accessibility statement

Door Money builds to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, level AA. That is the level most laws and public bodies point to, and it covers the things that matter most: keyboard use, screen readers, contrast, zoom, and clear forms.

• ▪Uses real HTML: headings in order, lists, buttons, links and landmarks, so screen readers and other assistive tools can move around the page.
• ▪Works from the keyboard alone, including the two image fields on a patron's profile, where dragging a file in is only a second way to choose one. Every link, button and form field can be reached with the Tab key, and the focused element shows an outline in the page's own light, in the tint of it that stays visible in whichever room the reader is in.
• ▪Comes in two rooms. A dark one, which is what a reader meets first, and a light one they can switch to from the top of any page, kept in that browser alone. In both, body text and small colored text clear the 4.5 to 1 contrast minimum, most of it at 7 to 1, and color is never the only signal.
• ▪Scales with the browser. Text and layout hold together at 200% zoom and on screens 380 pixels wide.
• ▪Labels every form field, and reports errors in words next to the field they belong to.
• ▪Hides decorative seals, stage lights and diagrams from screen readers, and gives every meaningful image a text alternative.
• ▪Holds still for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion: the stage lights stop swaying, sections stop rising into place, and smooth scrolling turns off. Nothing on the site flashes.
• ▪Gives auction closing times in words as well as a countdown, and never times out a form.

Honesty helps more than a clean bill of health. These are the gaps Door Money knows about.

• ▪Page titles use a high-contrast serif typeface in capitals, which some readers find slower to read. Everything else uses a plain sans-serif face, and every page can be read at any zoom.
• ▪The light room is new, and no reader outside Door Money has used it yet. The site has also not been tested under a forced-colors or high-contrast system setting, in either room.
• ▪The stage lights at the top of each page sway slowly unless the system asks for reduced motion. They are decoration and are hidden from assistive tools.
• ▪A patron's profile photo may be an animated GIF. Door Money cannot pause one for a reader who asks for reduced motion. A header image is never animated.
• ▪The payment form comes from Stripe. It is built to be accessible, and Door Money cannot change its internals.
• ▪The widget lives in a frame on an organizer's own site. Door Money's snippet gives the frame a title, and the rest of that page is the organizer's.
• ▪Photos and evidence an organizer adds to a record carry the description the organizer wrote. Door Money asks for one but cannot check it.
• ▪No outside auditor has reviewed the site yet. That review is planned.

Before a page ships, Door Money walks through it with a keyboard alone, at 200% zoom, at 380 pixels wide, and with a screen reader. Pages are checked again whenever they change. Problems found this way go on the list above until they are fixed.

Anyone who hits a barrier on Door Money can email hello@doormoney.co. It helps to include the page address, what went wrong, and the browser or assistive tool in use. Door Money replies within five business days with a fix or a workaround, and adds the problem to the list above if it cannot be fixed straight away.

Nothing on Door Money has to be done on the site. Anyone who cannot create a fundraiser, buy a sponsorship, make a backing or read a record because of an accessibility barrier can email hello@doormoney.co, and Door Money will do it with them by email or by phone.
