Accessibility Statement

YesAstrology's Accessibility Statement outlines our dedication to making astrology insights, birth charts, and spiritual tools available to everyone through WCAG-compliant design and ongoing enhancements.

On this page

YesAstrology's Accessibility Statement reflects our core dedication to ensuring that everyone can access our astrology tools, birth chart calculators, horoscopes, tarot readings, and spiritual guidance without barriers. We recognize that diverse users, including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities, seek cosmic insights and practical wisdom from our platform.

Our approach follows Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, prioritizing perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust content. This means features like high-contrast themes, resizable text, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility are built into our birth chart calculators, astrocartography maps, and reports. Whether exploring your Free Birth Chart Calculator or relationship compatibility tools, our design supports assistive technologies.

Below, we detail our standards, improvements, and how we handle feedback to continuously refine accessibility across yesastrology.com.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

At YesAstrology, accessibility forms the foundation of our platform, ensuring that spiritual seekers from all walks of life can engage with astrology without exclusion. We pledge to create an inclusive environment where users with disabilities can fully explore natal charts, horoscopes, and tarot interpretations as easily as anyone else.

This commitment stems from our belief that cosmic wisdom belongs to everyone. We integrate accessibility from the design phase, conducting regular audits and user testing with assistive tools. Key features include alt text for all astrological diagrams, skip-to-content links for screen readers, and focus indicators for keyboard users navigating our tool menus.

Our goal remains measurable: achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA conformance across all pages, including dynamic content like interactive chart calculators. Users report seamless experiences, from resizing text on mobile devices to voice-over compatibility for Vedic charts.

We also train our team on inclusive practices, fostering a culture where accessibility enhances the mystical experience for all.

Accessibility Standards

YesAstrology adheres to WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines, the globally recognized benchmark for web accessibility. These standards ensure content is perceivable through alternatives like text descriptions for astrological images, operable via keyboard-only navigation across our tools, understandable with clear language in horoscope reports, and robust for compatibility with current and future browsers.

Perceivable elements include descriptive alt text on every zodiac glyph and chart element, captions for any audio tarot readings, and sufficient color contrast ratios (at least 4.5:1) in our dark mode themes. Operable features allow full site navigation without a mouse, with ARIA labels on interactive sliders for birth time inputs.

Understandable design uses plain language in premium reports, consistent navigation, and error prevention in form submissions for chart requests. Robustness means our HTML is semantic, supporting tools like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver.

These standards apply universally, from free calculators to paid reports, verified through automated tools like WAVE and manual testing.

Key WCAG Principles in Action

Pouring over WCAG success criteria, we ensure text alternatives for non-text content, such as detailed descriptions of planetary aspects in astrocartography maps. Keyboard traps are eliminated, allowing tabbing through relationship compatibility calculators without issues.

Color is never the sole conveyor of information; for example, rising sign indicators use both hue and patterns. Resize text up to 200% without loss of functionality, vital for low-vision users reading numerology insights.

Time-based content, like live horoscopes, includes pause options and sufficient durations. Our implementation exceeds basic compliance, enhancing user trust in our spiritual guidance.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility at YesAstrology evolves through continuous monitoring and updates. We conduct bi-annual audits using tools like Lighthouse and axe, alongside feedback from users with disabilities, to identify and resolve issues promptly.

Recent enhancements include optimized lazy-loading for charts to reduce motion on screens for vestibular disorders, and improved focus management in modal pop-ups for premium report previews. We prioritize fixes based on impact, such as enhancing screen reader announcements for dynamic transits in blog posts.

Our roadmap incorporates user-requested features like customizable font sizes and dyslexia-friendly typography options. Quarterly training keeps our developers aligned with emerging standards like WCAG 2.2.

This proactive stance ensures our platform remains a welcoming space for astrological exploration amid technological changes.

Third-Party Content

YesAstrology integrates third-party services like payment processors and embeddable maps, holding them to our accessibility standards. We select WCAG-compliant providers and audit their implementations regularly.

For instance, astrology chart rendering libraries include ARIA attributes, and external fonts support high-contrast modes. If a vendor falls short, we implement workarounds, such as custom overlays for non-accessible embeds.

Users encounter transparent disclosures on pages with third-party elements, like Google Maps in astrocartography tools. Our terms require partners to maintain AA conformance, with clauses for swift remediation.

This vigilance extends our commitment, ensuring no accessibility gaps from external sources disrupt your spiritual journey.
