Newly Sober is committed to ensuring our platform is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. We believe everyone deserves equal access to recovery housing resources.
At Newly Sober, we recognize that accessibility is not a feature — it is a fundamental requirement. People in recovery come from every background and ability level. Our platform must serve all of them without barriers.
We design and develop with accessibility in mind from the start, targeting conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. This international standard ensures our content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for the widest possible audience.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We conduct regular audits, respond to user feedback, and continuously improve our platform. When we identify gaps, we prioritize fixes based on user impact and work to resolve them promptly.
Our platform is built with these accessibility principles at every level of design and development
All interactive elements are reachable and operable via keyboard. Tab order follows a logical reading sequence throughout every page.
Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and landmark regions ensure content is accessible to screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.
All text meets WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text). We do not rely on color alone to convey information.
Visible focus rings appear on all interactive elements when using keyboard navigation, with a consistent teal ring style across the platform.
Pages use proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions, lists, and form labels. Content structure is meaningful without visual styling.
The platform adapts to all screen sizes from 320px to 4K. Touch targets are at least 44px. Content reflows without horizontal scrolling at 400% zoom.
We are transparent about areas where our accessibility work is ongoing. The following limitations are actively being addressed:
We regularly test our platform with the following assistive technologies to ensure compatibility.
