Accessibility statement

Conformance status

The implementation targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Automated checks reduce risk but do not replace testing with assistive technologies and disabled users. A public launch should include NVDA/Chrome, VoiceOver/Safari and keyboard-only acceptance tests.

Feedback

Report an accessibility barrier to ads@advertisehere.co.za. Include the affected page, browser, assistive technology and the problem encountered so it can be reproduced and fixed.

Known limitations

Publication mastheads are third-party images; each has a text alternative naming the title, but logos themselves may not meet contrast requirements because they are shown exactly as supplied by publishers. Links to official publication websites and evidence sources open external sites whose accessibility is outside our control, and are labelled as opening in a new tab. Rates, deadlines and availability are confirmed by email after a quote request rather than shown in tables.

Testing

Every release is checked with automated axe-core scans on mobile, tablet and desktop layouts, keyboard-only journeys (skip link, directory filters, quote dialog) and touch-target measurement. Manual screen-reader testing (NVDA with Chrome, VoiceOver with Safari) is recommended before each major launch.
