Accessibility Statement
Commonwell is committed to making our software usable by everyone, including
people with disabilities. We design and test against the **Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA**, and we work to meet the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and applicable state accessibility
laws including the Unruh Civil Rights Act (California), the **New York State
Human Rights Law, and Colorado HB21-1110**.
Scope
This statement covers the Commonwell applications:
- the administrator app (board and management tools),
- the resident portal, and
- the vendor/contractor portal.
The public community websites that Commonwell renders also ship a built-in
accessibility toolbar (text resizing, high contrast, link highlighting, a
dyslexia-friendly font, reduced motion, and a large cursor) and their own
conformance statement.
Conformance measures
- Keyboard: every interactive control is reachable and operable with the
keyboard, with a visible focus indicator and a "Skip to main content" link.
- Structure: pages use a single main landmark, labeled navigation, and
meaningful headings so screen readers can navigate efficiently.
- Dialogs: modal dialogs trap focus, are announced as dialogs, and restore
focus on close.
- Color & contrast: text and interactive colors are checked for WCAG AA
contrast across our light and dark themes.
- Motion: animations respect the operating-system "reduce motion" setting.
- Automated testing: accessibility checks (axe-core) run in our automated
end-to-end test suite against the admin and resident apps, so regressions are
caught before release.
Ongoing work
Accessibility is an ongoing effort. Some complex surfaces (such as the drag-and-
drop page editor) continue to be improved, and we welcome feedback. A keyboard
alternative is provided wherever a pointer-only interaction exists.
Feedback
If you encounter a barrier or need content in a different format, contact your
community's board or administrator, or email us at support@commonwell.app.
We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe and will work with you to
provide the information or functionality you need.
