Our commitment to digital accessibility

Last updated: 16 February 2026

Compliance status: This website is fully compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Our commitment

Realign is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

This website is operated by Ro Mascia, trading as Realign (Business Name Registration No. 779040), based in Cork, Ireland.

Standards

This website conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as required by the European Accessibility Act (EAA) through the harmonized standard EN 301 549.

Compliance status: Fully compliant. This website meets all 50 WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria (as of 16 February 2026).

WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance means the website is designed to be:

• Perceivable — Information and user interface components are presentable to users in ways they can perceive
• Operable — User interface components and navigation are operable
• Understandable — Information and operation of the user interface are understandable
• Robust — Content can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies

Accessibility measures

Realign has implemented the following measures to ensure accessibility of this website:

• Semantic HTML5 markup for proper document structure
• ARIA landmarks and labels where appropriate
• Keyboard navigation support throughout the site
• Skip links to bypass repetitive content
• Sufficient color contrast ratios (WCAG AA minimum)
• Visible focus indicators for keyboard users
• Responsive design for various screen sizes and zoom levels
• Alternative text for informative images
• Proper heading hierarchy (h1-h6)
• Touch target sizes meeting minimum requirements (44x44px)
• Support for prefers-reduced-motion for users sensitive to animation
• No time limits on reading or interaction
• No auto-playing audio or video
• Clear link text and button labels

Known limitations

As of 16 February 2026, no accessibility barriers have been identified on this website. However, some considerations apply:

• Third-party content: External links (Google Calendar, LinkedIn, Notion forms) are managed by third parties and may not meet the same accessibility standards. We have no control over the accessibility of these external services. The Notion form is used as an optional step after booking a meeting through our Google Calendar link
• PDF documents: If we publish downloadable documents in the future, we will ensure they are accessible. Alternative formats can be requested by contacting us

We continuously monitor for accessibility issues and address them promptly.

Testing and assessment

Last comprehensive audit: 16 February 2026

Assessment methodology: Comprehensive evaluation using a combination of manual review, automated testing tools, and AI-assisted analysis to ensure WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance.

Testing approach

Our accessibility testing process includes:

Manual testing:

• Keyboard-only navigation testing across all interactive elements
• Browser zoom testing up to 200% without loss of functionality
• Focus indicator visibility and keyboard trap testing
• Semantic HTML structure and heading hierarchy review
• ARIA implementation and landmark verification
• Manual code review of all HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files

Automated testing tools:

• WebAIM Contrast Checker — Color contrast ratio verification
• AudioEye — Automated accessibility scanning

AI-assisted analysis:

• Large Language Models (LLMs) — Code review for WCAG compliance patterns and best practices
• GPT-based analysis — Semantic HTML structure validation and ARIA usage verification
• Automated code scanning — Detection of common accessibility issues across all pages

Planned testing:

We plan to conduct additional testing with:

• Screen reader software (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
• WAVE Browser Extension
• axe DevTools
• Lighthouse accessibility audit

Verification results

All 50 WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria have been verified as passing, including:

• Color contrast ratios verified and documented (all exceed 4.5:1 minimum)
• All interactive elements keyboard accessible
• Proper ARIA labels and roles implemented
• Semantic HTML structure throughout the site
• Skip links and bypass blocks functional
• Focus indicators visible and clear
• No accessibility barriers identified
