Accessibility statement

Last updated: 4/27/2026

Our commitment

Snowballr is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continuously work to improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Snowballr is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

What we have implemented

  • Semantic HTML. Headings, lists, navigation, articles, forms, and landmarks use proper elements so screen readers can navigate.
  • Skip-to-main link for keyboard users to bypass navigation.
  • Form labels. Every input has an associated <label> with htmlFor.
  • ARIA attributes. aria-valuetext on range sliders, aria-hidden on decorative icons, role="alert" on form errors.
  • Color contrast. All text meets WCAG AA contrast ratios in both light and dark themes.
  • Keyboard navigation. All interactive elements (buttons, links, form fields, accordions) reachable and operable with keyboard alone.
  • Focus indicators. Visible focus rings on all interactive elements.
  • Responsive design. Layouts adapt from 320px mobile to wide desktop without horizontal scrolling.
  • No motion-required interactions. Animations are decorative; nothing requires drag, swipe, or precise gestures.
  • Two languages. Full Spanish translations at /es, with lang attribute set correctly.
  • Speakable schema. Voice assistants can read calculator results and FAQs.
  • Image alternatives. Decorative SVGs marked aria-hidden; informative ones include title + desc.

Known limitations

  • Charts (compound interest, debt snowball). The visual chart conveys information that is also available numerically in the year-by-year table; users relying on screen readers should expand the table for full data access.
  • Third-party content. Embedded ads (Google AdSense) are subject to Google's accessibility standards, not ours.

Assessment approach

Snowballr was assessed using a combination of:

  • Automated testing (Lighthouse, axe-core)
  • Manual keyboard navigation testing
  • Screen reader testing (VoiceOver, NVDA)
  • Color contrast analyzers

Feedback and reporting issues

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of Snowballr. If you encounter any barriers, please let us know:
