For everyone who visits
Accessible
by design.
A memorial is meant to be visited. Grandparents, grandchildren, friends across generations — everyone who loved this person should be able to read the page, look at the photographs, and listen to the voice recordings. We treat that as a core requirement of the product, not a finishing touch.

Our commitment
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA across every page of Everli — the marketing site, the memorial templates, and the editor your family uses to build them.
What we already do
- Semantic structure. Pages use real headings, landmarks, lists, and form labels so that screen readers and assistive tech can navigate them clearly.
- Keyboard navigation. Every interactive element — links, buttons, form fields, the editor, the audio player — can be reached and operated without a mouse, with visible focus indicators.
- Color and contrast. Body text and interactive elements meet the WCAG AA contrast ratios against our ivory background. We do not rely on color alone to convey meaning.
- Motion respect. Page reveals, drift, and decorative animation honor the
prefers-reduced-motionsystem preference and stop moving for visitors who request it. - Typography. Text scales with the browser’s font-size setting. Line lengths, line-height, and font choices are chosen for readability on long-form pages.
- Media alternatives. Photographs accept descriptive alt text. Voice recordings include playback controls and we are rolling out transcripts for new uploads.
- Forms with care. Inputs are labeled, errors are described in plain language and announced to assistive technologies, and required fields are marked beyond color.
What we are still working on
- Automated transcript generation for older voice recordings uploaded before this feature was added.
- A high-contrast theme variant for visitors who prefer stronger separation between text and background.
- Continued refinement of the rich-text editor used to compose biographies and timeline entries, especially for screen-reader users.
