Accessibility Statement
We want cynaxus.com to work for everyone, regardless of ability or the technology they use to browse. Accessibility is a design requirement here, not an afterthought. This page describes the standard we target, the concrete steps we take to meet it, how we test, the limitations we know about, and how to reach us if something gets in your way.
Cynaxus is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the experience for every user and applying the relevant accessibility standards to the design, development, and content of this site.
Our commitment
We believe the web should be usable by everyone. Many of the people and organizations we serve operate under accessibility obligations of their own, and we hold ourselves to the same expectations. We treat accessibility as part of building the site well — woven into our design and development process rather than bolted on at the end.
The standard we target
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. WCAG is the internationally recognized benchmark for digital accessibility and is the standard most widely referenced by accessibility law and best practice, including Section 508 and the principles behind the Americans with Disabilities Act. We use its four principles — that content be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust — as the basis for our design and development decisions.
What we do
Accessibility is built into how this site is constructed.
- Semantic, structured HTML — headings, landmarks, and lists are used in logical order so assistive technology can navigate the page meaningfully.
- Keyboard operability — interactive elements are reachable and usable with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator that shows where you are on the page.
- Readable color contrast — text and interface colors are chosen to meet WCAG AA contrast ratios for legibility.
- Descriptive text alternatives — meaningful images carry alternative text, and purely decorative images are marked so they don't clutter assistive output.
- Responsive, resizable layout — content reflows and remains usable when text is enlarged, when the page is zoomed, and on small screens.
- Clear, descriptive links and labels — link and button text describes its destination or action rather than relying on "click here," and form fields have associated labels.
- Respect for user preferences — the site honors reduced-motion settings and does not rely on color alone to convey meaning.
How we test
We assess accessibility throughout development rather than only at launch. Our process combines automated checks with manual review — including keyboard-only navigation, testing with screen readers, verifying color contrast, and checking that content remains usable when zoomed and reflowed. As we add or update content, we re-check it against the same standard and fix issues we find.
Known limitations
Despite our best efforts, some content may not yet be fully accessible. Limitations can arise from third-party embeds, externally hosted documents, or components outside our direct control, and occasionally from newly published content before it has been fully reviewed. Where we identify a barrier, we prioritize correcting it, and we treat accessibility defects the same way we treat functional bugs.
Ongoing effort
Accessibility is not a one-time project. We review this site and this statement on a regular basis, monitor for new issues, and update both as standards evolve and as we make improvements. Feedback from people who use assistive technology is one of the most valuable inputs we have, and we welcome it.

If you need information from this site in a different format — or if a particular page is difficult to use with your assistive technology — contact us and we will work with you to provide the content you need in an accessible form, such as plain text, a tagged document, or a direct conversation.
