Accessibility Statement
Last updated: May 29, 2026
Jen Built It (the affiliate program and our public site at jenbuiltit.com) is built and operated by Jen Built It LLC. We believe websites should work for everyone, including people who use screen readers, navigate by keyboard, rely on high-contrast modes, or otherwise depend on assistive technology. This statement explains where we stand, where we're working, and how to tell us about something we missed.
Our standard
We aim for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA conformance across the public site (jenbuiltit.com) and the affiliate portal at /affiliate. WCAG 2.1 AA is the level cited in most US, EU, and UK accessibility laws and the level courts use to evaluate website accessibility claims.
What this means in practice
- Keyboard navigation — every interactive element (links, buttons, form fields) is reachable and operable using only a keyboard. Focus is always visible.
- Color contrast — body text meets a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background. Large text and interactive controls meet at least 3:1.
- Form labels — every input has a label associated with it programmatically, so screen readers announce the right field.
- Semantic structure — headings are in order, landmarks are used (
<main>,<footer>,<nav>), and page regions are identifiable. - Alt text — meaningful images carry descriptive
altattributes; decorative images use emptyalt=""so screen readers skip them. - No timed traps — magic-link login emails do not expire mid-session, and no modal dialogs capture focus without an escape.
- Resize and zoom — the layout reflows cleanly up to 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling on mobile.
- Color is not the only signal — links are underlined, errors include text (not just red borders), and required fields are labeled.
What we use to verify it
- Automated checks with axe-core and Lighthouse, run on every public page before each deploy.
- Manual keyboard-only navigation testing on apply, login, dashboard, and account flows.
- Spot-checks with macOS VoiceOver and NVDA on Windows for key flows.
Known limitations
We try to be transparent about gaps we know exist:
- Mascot animations — some pages include playful CSS animations on the wallet mascot and other decorative elements. They respect
prefers-reduced-motionwhere supported, but if a specific animation creates a barrier for you, please tell us. - Third-party content — the affiliate dashboard links to PayPal for payouts and Stripe for customer subscriptions. Their accessibility is governed by those teams. If they present a barrier, email us and we'll provide a manual alternative.
Tell us if something is broken
If you hit a barrier — anything that prevents you from completing a task on Jen Built It — please tell us. We treat accessibility reports the same way we treat security reports: as a priority, with a real human reply.
Email: support@jenbuiltit.com Subject line: "Accessibility barrier — Jen Built It" What to include (whatever you have): the URL, the device and assistive technology you're using, what you were trying to do, and what happened.
We'll acknowledge within 2 business days and propose a fix or workaround within 10 business days.
