CarScout Web Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 2026-05-08
Last audited: 2026-05-08
CarScout is committed to digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to ensure the platform is usable by the widest possible audience.
Standard Applied. CarScout aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities and are the internationally recognized benchmark for digital accessibility. Conformance also addresses the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act for users accessing the service in a federal context.
Known Limitations. As of the last audit (Last audited: 2026-05-08), no critical or serious WCAG 2.1 AA gaps remain on the static public surface. Dynamic deal pages and authenticated routes will be added to automated regression coverage as those surfaces mature.
Feedback & Contact. We welcome feedback on the accessibility of CarScout. If you experience barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please email accessibility@carscout.ai. We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within two business days. Please describe the barrier, the page or feature where you encountered it, and the assistive technology or browser you were using.
Technical Approach. CarScout is built with semantic HTML5, ARIA landmarks, and keyboard-navigable components based on the shadcn/ui accessible component library. We use Tailwind CSS for styling with sufficient color-contrast ratios, and we test with automated accessibility tooling and manual keyboard navigation. Server Components render full HTML to the client so screen readers receive complete page content without requiring JavaScript execution.
