Accessibility Statement

What this statement covers

This statement covers three areas that together form supodo's public presence. First, the supodo.com website itself. Second, the sign-in pages at auth.supodo.com — where you sign in to use supodo manager or the supodo wiki. Third, the pages at mail.supodo.com that you open from our newsletter emails: confirming a subscription, unsubscribing, and viewing a newsletter in the browser. You subscribe to the newsletter on supodo.com; mail.supodo.com carries no signup form of its own and no public archive. The three are at different stages, so each point below says which one it refers to. The apps themselves each have their own statement: supodo manager, the supodo app and supodo.link each carry their own accessibility statement, because each is at a different stage.

Conformance status

The three areas named below are **partially conformant** with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means most requirements are met, but some are not. The outstanding items are listed below.

What already works

• A skip link at the top of the page jumps straight to the main content. The page is divided into landmarks (header, navigation, main content, footer).
• Everything can be operated with a keyboard. Menus close with the Escape key. The fixed header does not hide the element that has keyboard focus.
• If your system is set to “reduce motion”, the site drops its animations and smooth scrolling.
• Forms have visible labels, required fields are announced by screen readers, and error messages appear as text and receive focus.
• Every page has its own page title. Links that open in a new tab announce that they do.
• mail.supodo.com: The pages you open from our newsletter emails were measured automatically and walked with a keyboard on 15 August 2026. Every defect found has been fixed — among them a missing main heading, a missing main-content landmark and a missing language declaration, several footer links that were too faint and not recognisable as links, and checkboxes with no keyboard focus outline. Some of these corrections only reach mail.supodo.com with the next update of that service.

Non-accessible content

We know about the following points. Each one names the area it applies to. Colour contrast on supodo.com was this site's biggest weakness for a long time; since 14 August 2026 all but one case has been fixed. The contrast ratios are calculated with the WCAG formula.

• supodo.com: On the privacy policy, the line giving the document's date is too faint — about 3.8:1 against the required 4.5:1. Affects WCAG 1.4.3.
• supodo.com: When a page that does not exist is opened, the resulting error page carries no technical language declaration, so a screen reader may read it with the wrong pronunciation. Affects WCAG 3.1.1 (Level A). The cause is in the Next.js framework, which renders error pages inside its own internal shell; we are waiting for the fix there.
• supodo.com: The checkboxes in our forms — consent on the contact form, the newsletter and the reporting form — are 16 × 16 pixels; 24 × 24 is required unless an exception applies. The text beside them is clickable too, so the usable area is larger than the box itself. Whether that is enough we have not yet measured in a browser. Affects WCAG 2.5.8.
• auth.supodo.com: the sign-in pages were measured automatically for the first time on 10 August 2026, and the live pages themselves for the first time on 15 August 2026. All 117 page states of the sign-in design and all seven live sign-in pages come back clean. Three defects found along the way were fixed straight away: the box holding the terms of use could not be scrolled with a keyboard, the asterisk marking a required field did not have enough contrast, and the one-time-code fields could not be filled in by the operating system or a password manager (WCAG 3.3.8). The second one was found by calculating the contrast by hand: automated testing does not judge single symbols such as an asterisk. On the live site the measurement reaches the pages you see before you sign in; pages you only reach after entering a password are measured in the design, not on the live site.

Not yet tested

These points cannot be judged by a source review alone. We have not yet tested them with real assistive technology, so we cannot make any promises about them:

• Whether supodo.com can be used at 400% zoom, or 320 pixels wide, without scrolling sideways.
• Whether the keyboard focus indicator is clearly visible on the green background.
• Whether the alternative texts on images really describe what is shown.
• Whether text can be enlarged without content being cut off, and whether foreign-language words are pronounced correctly.
• supodo.com: How long the spam check in our forms takes on older, slower devices. It runs a calculation on the visitor's own device, and we have not yet measured how heavy that calculation is there.
• mail.supodo.com: Whether the confirmation and unsubscribe pages work well with a screen reader. The automated measurement and the keyboard walk are done; the screen-reader pass is still outstanding.

How we tested

This statement is based on an internal self-assessment. For supodo.com: first assessed on 11 June 2026 by source review and by calculating contrast ratios with the WCAG formula; measured automatically on 8 August 2026 with axe-core 4.12 across the WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2 Level A and AA rule set, with no rules switched off and no parts of the page excluded; last checked on 14 and 15 August 2026 against the delivered pages and stylesheet, where the contrast ratios were recalculated by hand rather than measured automatically again. For auth.supodo.com: source review on 18 June 2026; automated measurement with axe-core 4.12 across the same rule set, last run on 15 August 2026 over 117 page states of the sign-in design and — since 15 August 2026, after every release — over the seven live sign-in pages themselves, with no rules switched off and no parts of the page excluded. Contrast ratios that automated testing does not judge we calculate by hand. For mail.supodo.com: source review on 14 August 2026; automated measurement on 15 August 2026 with axe-core over nine delivered pages, covering the Level A and AA rules plus four rules the tool classes only as good practice, together with a full keyboard walk of the subscribe and unsubscribe path. No screen-reader testing and no external audit have taken place for any of the three areas.

What we are doing next

Next up are the two outstanding points on supodo.com: the faint date line in the privacy policy and the size of the checkboxes. The decision on the orange and purple tones that earlier versions of this statement referred to was taken on 14 and 15 August 2026: purple has already been changed, orange becomes a decorative colour only, and filled areas carrying a label move to the darker orange. We still have to apply that change; the areas concerned already meet the requirement today, because their labels are dark. Assistive-technology testing follows after that — for supodo.com and for the newsletter pages alike. We will update this page as soon as the status changes.
