Commons Commons A Reservation System

Accessibility

Accessibility Statement

Commons is a reservation system for education, so accessibility isn't an afterthought here. It's part of the product's reason to exist.

Last reviewed: July 19, 2026

Our commitment

We design and build this site so it works well with keyboards, screen readers, and assistive technologies, and so it's readable across a range of vision, motor, and cognitive needs. Commons serves education organizations, where access for every student and staff member is the baseline, and we hold our own site to that standard.

Standard we follow

We target the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. Where it's relevant for education customers, we also reference Section 508 in the United States.

Conformance status

This site substantially conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. "Substantially conforms" means most of the site meets the standard, with some known issues we're actively working to fix (see Known limitations).

What we do

Specific things we build into the site:

Keyboard support

  • "Skip to main content" link.
  • All interactive elements are reachable by keyboard.
  • Visible focus indicators on links, buttons, and form fields.
  • The cookie banner can be closed with Esc and returns focus where you were.

Visual design

  • Color contrast targeted at WCAG AA in light and dark themes.
  • Light/dark mode toggle that respects system preferences.
  • Text reflows on small screens; layouts work down to 320px wide.
  • Windows High Contrast (forced colors) support.

Semantic structure

  • Headings are nested in document order.
  • Landmarks (header, main, footer, nav) are used consistently.
  • Form fields have labels; status messages use ARIA live regions.
  • Images use descriptive alt text or are marked decorative.

Motion & media

  • Decorative animations respect prefers-reduced-motion.
  • No auto-playing audio or video.
  • No content flashes more than three times per second.

Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some areas of the site may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Known issues include:

  • The illustrative "board" mockups on the home page are decorative simplifications and don't carry the full detail of the product they depict.
  • Third-party content (such as fonts or the form processing service) may not always meet our standard.

If you run into something that isn't listed here, please tell us. See Feedback & contact.

Compatibility

We design and test on current versions of common browsers and assistive technologies, including:

  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge (current major versions).
  • VoiceOver on macOS and iOS.
  • NVDA on Windows.
  • Keyboard-only navigation, with and without a screen reader.

This site may not behave as expected on browsers more than two major versions old, or on assistive technologies no longer supported by their vendor.

How we assess

We currently rely on internal review, including:

  • Manual keyboard and screen reader checks during development.
  • Automated tooling (such as axe-core / browser dev-tool audits) on key pages.
  • Color contrast review of the design tokens used across the site.

Self-assessment doesn't replace user feedback. Feedback from real visitors is one of our most useful inputs.

Feedback & contact

If something on this site is hard to use, or you can't access information you need, please let us know. When you can, include the page URL, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology and browser you were using. That helps us reproduce and fix it faster.

Email howdy@redizoo.com with the subject line "Accessibility feedback." We aim to acknowledge requests within 5 business days.
