Our Commitment
Dweller IQ is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We believe that every user — regardless of ability — deserves equal access to the information and tools on our platform. We take this obligation seriously, not just as a legal matter, but as the right way to build a product.
We are actively working to increase the accessibility of dwelleriq.com and to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.
This statement was last updated on June 7, 2026. We review it periodically and whenever we make significant changes to the site.
Conformance Status
Partially conformant means that most of the content conforms to the accessibility standard, but some parts do not yet fully conform. We are actively working to resolve those areas — see Known Limitations below.
We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA as our conformance standard. This is the level referenced by the U.S. Department of Justice as the applicable standard for websites covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
We assess our accessibility through ongoing internal reviews against all four WCAG principles — Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. We have not yet commissioned an independent third-party audit, and we update this statement as we identify and resolve issues.
Technical Specifications
dwelleriq.com relies on the following technologies for conformance with WCAG 2.1:
- HTML5
- CSS3
- JavaScript (ECMAScript 2019+)
- WAI-ARIA 1.1
The following browsers and assistive technologies were used in our evaluation:
- Chrome (latest) with keyboard-only navigation
- Safari (latest) with VoiceOver on macOS
- Chrome with NVDA on Windows
- Safari on iOS with VoiceOver
- Chrome on Android with TalkBack
Pages were also evaluated for color contrast compliance using the WCAG 2.1 AA ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text and graphical elements.
What We've Done
The following accessibility improvements were implemented during our May 2026 audit and remediation:
All interactive elements display a visible 3px focus outline when navigated by keyboard.
All text meets or exceeds the 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal body text throughout the site.
A "Skip to main content" link is present on every page, allowing keyboard users to bypass repeated navigation.
All pages include role="main", <nav>, and <footer> landmarks so screen reader users can jump between page regions.
All toggles — nav menus, accordions, and FAQs — use aria-expanded and aria-controls to communicate open/closed state to assistive technologies.
Purely decorative images and UI elements are marked with alt="" or aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip them.
All informational images have descriptive alternative text that conveys the same information as the image.
Every form input is associated with a visible label using <label for="...">, including all login, signup, and contact form fields.
All animations and transitions are disabled for users with the "Reduce Motion" system preference enabled, via a prefers-reduced-motion media query.
Every page declares lang="en" on the <html> element so screen readers use the correct pronunciation.
Every page has a unique, descriptive <title> element so users can identify pages in browser history and tabs.
Navigation structure, order, and labeling are consistent across all 73 pages of the site.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full conformance, the following areas are under active monitoring:
We are committed to resolving any barriers we identify and will update this statement as improvements are made.
Report an Accessibility Barrier
We welcome feedback. If you encounter any accessibility barriers while using dwelleriq.com — content you cannot access, a feature that doesn't work with your assistive technology, or anything that makes the site harder to use — please let us know.
We take all reports seriously. When you contact us, please include:
- The URL or page where you encountered the barrier
- A description of the issue and what you were trying to do
- The browser and assistive technology you are using (if known)
We aim to respond to all accessibility-related inquiries within 2 business days and to remediate confirmed barriers within 30 days of verification.
Enforcement
Dweller IQ treats accessibility as an ongoing practice — not a one-time project. We are committed to improving the site and working toward WCAG 2.1 AA, conducting periodic internal reviews and intending to commission independent audits as the platform grows.
This Accessibility Statement reflects our good-faith effort to align with the accessibility standards referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and applicable state laws including the Illinois Human Rights Act.
If you believe we are not meeting these obligations, we encourage you to contact us directly first so we can address the issue. We are committed to working collaboratively to resolve any accessibility barriers.
Formal Complaints
If you are not satisfied with our response to an accessibility complaint, you have the right to file a formal complaint with the following bodies:
We strongly prefer to resolve any issues directly and encourage you to reach out to us before filing a formal complaint.
