Accessibility statement
WorldEconomy.news aims to make its reporting, data and research usable by people with disabilities.
Design commitments
- semantic headings and landmarks;
- keyboard-accessible navigation and controls;
- visible focus;
- sufficient contrast;
- responsive text and tables;
- descriptive links;
- labels and error messages for forms;
- captions/transcripts where media are used;
- no information conveyed by colour alone.
Data and charts
Every chart should have:
- a concise text summary;
- meaningful alt text;
- an accessible data table;
- visible units, period and source;
- a downloadable format where rights allow.
Known challenges
Large comparative tables and historical timelines require careful mobile and screen-reader design. They should not launch as canvas-only or hover-only visualizations.
Feedback
**REPLACE BEFORE LAUNCH:** provide an accessibility contact and response target. Accessibility reports are logged and prioritized based on severity and reach.
Standard
The implementation should target WCAG 2.2 AA and be tested with automated tools plus keyboard and screen-reader checks. This statement must be updated with the actual conformance status rather than claiming full compliance without an audit.
