Accessibility Statement

We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the site. We are continually seeking solutions that will bring all areas up to the same level of accessibility.

Auction Cipher takes the following measures to support accessibility:

• Include accessibility as part of our development process from the start.
• Run automated accessibility checks on parts of the interface as part of our test suite, and continue to expand that coverage.
• Work toward sufficient color contrast in both dark and light modes. Some tinted position and value labels, and the printable cheat sheet’s light gray text, do not yet meet the 4.5:1 ratio.
• Provide keyboard navigation for all interactive elements, with visible focus indicators, and a skip-to-content link as the first tab stop on every page.
• Use semantic HTML and ARIA attributes where appropriate.
• Design for screen readers and other assistive technologies.
• Trap and manage focus in modals, dialogs, and pop-ups, returning focus to the trigger on close.
• Use table markup with column headers on our data tables. The Strategy grid is still being brought up to the same standard.
• Support both light and dark color modes.

Despite our best efforts, some areas of the site may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations include:

• Some dense, multi-column data tables and valuation grids may be challenging to navigate with a screen reader.
• Some tinted position and value labels, and the light gray text on the printable cheat sheet, fall short of the 4.5:1 contrast ratio.
• Animations do not yet honor the reduced-motion system setting.
• Third-party content (such as payment processing via Stripe) may not meet all accessibility standards.
• The guided product tour is available on desktop only. Every feature it covers can be reached directly on a phone, and the Help Center describes them in text.

We are actively working to address these issues.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of Auction Cipher. If you encounter accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us:

You can also reach us through our contact form. We try to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days.

Auction Cipher is designed to be compatible with the following assistive technologies:

• Screen readers (built to work with VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS; not yet formally tested with each).
• Keyboard-only navigation.
• Browser zoom up to 200%.

The site is best experienced in the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
