Accessibility Statement

Automate America, Inc. is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to provide equal access to all users of the FEED professional marketplace.

We believe that every person deserves equal access to professional opportunities across every industry, and our platform is designed to support that mission.

2.1 Standard
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with various disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

2.2 Current Status
The FEED platform is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We conduct regular self-assessments using automated tools and manual testing to maintain and continuously improve our compliance level. Areas where we are working toward full conformance are noted in the Known Limitations section below.

2.3 ADA Compliance
The FEED platform is designed and developed in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III requirements for public accommodations operating websites and digital services.

Automate America takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of the FEED platform:

• Include accessibility as part of our mission statement
• Integrate accessibility into our development lifecycle
• Provide continual accessibility training for staff
• Assign clear accessibility targets and responsibilities
• Employ formal accessibility quality assurance methods
• Use automated testing tools in our CI/CD pipeline
• Conduct manual testing with assistive technologies

Our platform implements the following accessibility features:

• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard

Accessibility of the FEED platform relies on the following technologies to work with your browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

• Semantic HTML5 for proper document structure
• WAI-ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications) for enhanced accessibility in dynamic content

• Next.js server-side rendering for fast initial page loads

Supported Browsers:

• Google Chrome (latest 2 major versions)
• Mozilla Firefox (latest 2 major versions)
• Apple Safari (latest 2 major versions)
• Microsoft Edge (latest 2 major versions)

Supported Assistive Technologies:

• Screen readers: NVDA (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), JAWS (Windows), TalkBack (Android)
• Voice control: Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Voice Control (macOS)

• Keyboard-only navigation: Full support across all interactive elements

These technologies are relied upon for conformance with the accessibility standards used.

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the FEED platform, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions:

• Third-Party Embedded Content: Social media feeds and external job boards may have accessibility limitations outside of our direct control. We work with partners to improve accessibility where possible.
• PDF Documents: PDF documents uploaded by users may not be fully accessible. We provide text alternatives where possible and encourage users to upload accessible documents.
• Interactive Charts: Some interactive data visualizations require text alternatives for screen readers, which we provide via hidden data tables.
• Legacy Content: Older content is being progressively updated to meet current accessibility standards.
• User-Generated Content: Content uploaded by users (profiles, job descriptions) may not meet accessibility standards. We provide guidelines to encourage accessible content creation.
