Accessibility

Wedding invitations are for everyone on the guest list. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA across this site, the builder, the dashboard and every invitation design.

What we do

• Openings you can skip. Every animated opening has a button and a keyboard alternative (Enter or Space) to the gesture, and a visible Skip link within a second and a half.
• Reduced motion. If your device asks for reduced motion, the opening becomes a short crossfade, with no parallax or auto-advancing galleries.
• No autoplay sound. Music starts only after you open the invitation, and there is a mute button on every screen.
• No flashing more than three times a second.
• Readable text. Every design and color mode is checked for at least 4.5:1 text contrast, including text over photos and in Devanagari, Hebrew, Tamil, Gurmukhi and Chinese type.
• Forms that explain themselves. Labels on every field, errors in words, grouped questions, no puzzles, and guests never type their name twice.
• Photos with descriptions. Couples are asked for a description of each photo, which defaults to the caption.
• Language. When a guest switches language, the page’s language changes too, so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
• No overlay widgets. We fix the pages themselves instead.

How we test

Automated checks (axe) run on every design and on the main pages of this site as part of our test suite, at phone and desktop sizes, and we test with keyboard only. We are adding manual screen-reader passes (VoiceOver and NVDA) for every design before it ships.

Known limits

• Couples write their own text and choose their own photos; we prompt for descriptions but cannot check what they write.
• Some designs’ full openings are still being finished; while they are, those designs use a simple fade.
• Film links open YouTube or Vimeo, whose captions are controlled by the couple’s upload.

Tell us

If anything on Honored, or on an invitation made with it, is hard to use, email accessibility@honored.page. A person will reply within 2 business days. If you are a guest and need an invitation’s details another way, we can help you reach the couple.
