Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

At LaxAi, we want every coach, player, and parent to be able to use our app — including people who rely on assistive technology like screen readers, keyboard navigation, or screen magnification. Accessibility is something we are actively building into LaxAi, not a box we have checked. This page explains what works well today, what we are still improving, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.

Conformance status

We are working toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our standard. At this time, LaxAi is partially conformantwith WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means that while many parts of the app meet the standard, some parts do not yet fully meet it. We are actively working to close those gaps.

We have not yet completed a formal third-party accessibility audit, and we have not yet produced a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template). When we do, we will update this page.

What’s accessible today

These improvements are live in the app now:

• Skip past the menu.A “skip to content” link lets keyboard and screen-reader users jump straight to the main content of each page.
• Clear page structure. Each page has one main content area and a single main heading, with headings in a logical order so screen-reader users can navigate by structure.
• Less motion if you prefer it. If your device is set to reduce motion, LaxAi minimizes animations automatically.
• Readable colors and visible focus. We have improved color contrast on our dark theme, and interactive elements show a clear outline when focused, so you can see where you are when navigating by keyboard.
• Navigation that doesn’t rely on color alone. The current page is marked for assistive technology, and we don’t use color by itself to signal which item is active.
• Accessible pop-up dialogs in high-traffic areas. Our most-used dialogs trap keyboard focus, can be closed with the Escape key, and are announced properly to screen readers. We are upgrading the remaining dialogs to match.
• Spoken status updates.Confirmation messages and alerts (like “saved” notifications) are announced to screen readers as they appear.
• Meaningful labels on buttons. Decorative icons are hidden from screen readers, and icon-only buttons in key areas include text labels so their purpose is clear.
• Comfortable tap targets. Primary buttons and controls meet a minimum 44-pixel touch-target size, which helps on phones and tablets.
• A readable alternative for the Play Designer. The Play Designer drawing area is a visual canvas, which screen readers normally can’t interpret. We’ve added a “List view” that reads out the players, movements, and field markers in a play; the drawing area provides a text description to assistive technology; and changes you make — adding or deleting pieces, or moving between frames — are announced aloud.

Known limitations / areas we’re improving

We want to be honest about where we still fall short. We are actively working on each of these:

• Building a play without a mouse. The Play Designer canvas is not yet fully operable by keyboard alone — placing and moving pieces still requires a mouse or touch. Screen-reader users can already read any play through the List view; the ability to build one without a pointer is in progress.
• A few remaining dialogs and browser prompts. Some secondary dialogs, and a small number of standard browser prompts, have not yet been upgraded to our accessible pattern.
• Small text and final polish. Some smaller text sizes and a complete set of automated accessibility checks are still being finalized.
• No formal audit yet. As noted above, an independent third-party audit has not been completed. We are using internal testing in the meantime and welcome your real-world feedback.

If any of these limitations prevent you from doing something important, please contact us (see below) — we will do our best to help you directly while we keep improving.

Compatibility

LaxAi is designed to work with current versions of major web browsers and common screen readers. For the best experience, we recommend keeping your browser and any assistive technology up to date, since older versions may not support all of the accessibility features described here. Because LaxAi is updated regularly, you may occasionally notice differences as improvements roll out.
