Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed May 30, 2026

Our Commitment

Collectd is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to achieve these goals. We believe that our platform should be usable by the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Collectd is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to achieve full conformance.

Measures Taken

We take the following measures to ensure accessibility of Collectd:

  • Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements are reachable and operable via keyboard with visible focus indicators.
  • Screen reader support: We use semantic HTML, ARIA labels and descriptions, and landmark regions to support assistive technology.
  • Reduced motion: All animations and transitions respect the prefers-reduced-motion system preference.
  • Color contrast: Text and interactive elements maintain sufficient contrast ratios to meet WCAG 2.1 AA requirements.
  • Scalable text: Content remains readable and functional when zoomed up to 200%.
  • Form labels and error messages: All form inputs have associated labels, and validation errors are announced to assistive technology.
  • Dark mode: A high-contrast dark theme is available and respects system color scheme preferences.

Known Barriers

Despite our best efforts, there are some known accessibility barriers on Collectd that we are working to address:

  • Drag-and-drop reordering: The collection builder's drag-and-drop field reordering and item image reordering interfaces do not have full keyboard operation or screen reader alternatives. We recommend using the alternative ordering controls where available.
  • Historical alt text: Some older item images and gallery content may be missing alternative text descriptions. We encourage content creators to add alt text to their images.
  • Paddle checkout: Our payment processing is handled by Paddle, whose checkout overlay is a third-party component outside our direct control. We encourage Paddle to maintain accessibility standards for their interface.
