Accessibility Statement — 38 Flags

Last updated: 2026-05-09

[pending confirmation: 38 Flags Inc.? Lew Firm DBA? Nonprofit if restructured? — confirm] is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We are continuously improving the user experience of 38flags.com to apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, the standard cited in U.S. Department of Justice ADA Title II guidance and broadly accepted as the benchmark for private-sector websites.

Conformance levels:

• WCAG 2.1 Level A: ✅ Conformant
• WCAG 2.1 Level AA: ✅ Conformant (target standard)
• WCAG 2.1 Level AAA: 🟡 Partially conformant where reasonable

Accessibility Features Implemented

The Site is built with accessibility in mind:

• Semantic HTML — proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions, ARIA

labels where appropriate

• Color contrast — text meets WCAG AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for body

text, 3:1 for large text)

• Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements are reachable via

keyboard, with visible focus indicators

• Alternative text — meaningful alt attributes on all images;

decorative images marked appropriately

• Form labels — all form fields have associated labels and clear

error messages

• Reduced motion — animations respect the

prefers-reduced-motion browser preference

• Screen reader compatibility — tested with VoiceOver (macOS/iOS)

and NVDA (Windows)

• Resizable text — content remains readable when zoomed up to 200%
• No keyboard traps — focus can always be moved with Tab/Shift+Tab

Known Limitations

While we work hard to ensure accessibility, some content may not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA conformance:

We are continuously auditing the Site for accessibility issues. As of the last review, no significant Level AA conformance gaps have been identified, but we welcome reports from users encountering barriers.

We are actively addressing these issues.
