Scope
This statement applies to the public website at soonward.com. It does not by itself describe the accessibility status of any future customer application, pilot environment, or customer-specific deployment.
Current Status
Soonward is working toward and self-assessing against WCAG 2.2 Level AA for the public website.
Automated `axe-core` scans are part of that process, but Soonward does not treat automated results alone as proof of conformance.
How Soonward Evaluates Accessibility
- Automated testing. Soonward uses automated accessibility scans, including `axe-core`, on core public pages to catch machine-detectable issues.
- Manual review. Soonward also reviews keyboard access, visible focus states, heading structure, landmarks, link behavior, and responsive reflow because many WCAG issues cannot be reliably detected by automation alone.
- Ongoing remediation. Issues found during design, development, or review are corrected in the site code and re-tested.
What This Means in Practice
A clean automated report is helpful, but it does not guarantee that a page is fully accessible. For example, automated tools may detect whether alternative text exists but cannot reliably judge whether the text is meaningful in context.
For that reason, Soonward pairs automated scanning with manual review before calling a page ready.
Feedback
If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this website, send a note to hello@soonward.com with the page URL, the issue you experienced, and any assistive technology or browser context that would help reproduce it.
Procurement and Product Documentation
If Soonward offers software or services into a procurement process, accessibility documentation for the actual product offering should be handled separately through a product-specific review and, where needed, an Accessibility Conformance Report or similar artifact.
