Accessibility statement

Punt aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. We believe financial education should be available to everyone, regardless of how they access the web. This statement was last reviewed in April 2026.

• Colour contrast ratios of at least 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text throughout the app.
• All interactive elements — buttons, links, form controls — are keyboard accessible and have visible focus indicators.
• Semantic HTML5 elements used throughout (main, nav, article, section, header, footer).
• WAI-ARIA labels on non-obvious controls (e.g. progress bars, icon-only buttons, chart regions).
• No content flashes more than three times per second.
• All meaningful images have descriptive alt text; decorative images have empty alt="".
• Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
• Lessons are navigable with keyboard alone; focus is managed between steps.

Punt is built with Next.js 16 (React), TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. We use CSS custom properties for theming — colour meaning is never conveyed by colour alone. A dark mode is available via system preference or the in-app settings panel.

We test with keyboard navigation, browser zoom at 200%, and macOS VoiceOver. We aim to test with NVDA on Windows periodically.

• SVG charts (ETF calculator, buy-vs-rent visualiser) currently lack a text-based data table alternative. We plan to add summary tables in a future update.
• Third-party links (Revenue.ie, RTB, MABS, etc.) are outside our control and may not meet the same accessibility standards.
• Complex sliders on calculator tools are operable by keyboard but do not announce live values to all screen readers in every browser combination. Number inputs are provided as alternatives where possible.
