Our Commitment

Zenith Economics 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 to make our website usable by the widest possible audience.

Conformance Status

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

Our website is substantially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. "Substantially conformant" means that some parts of the content may not fully conform to the accessibility standard, but we have addressed all known issues from our most recent audit.

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

  • Skip-to-main-content link on every page for keyboard users
  • Semantic HTML5 structure with proper landmarks (header, nav, main, footer, sections)
  • Descriptive alternative text for all meaningful images
  • Logical heading hierarchy (one H1 per page, sequential H2-H3)
  • Visible keyboard focus indicators meeting WCAG 2.2 Focus Appearance (2.4.13)
  • Form fields with explicit, persistent text labels plus aria-required and aria-describedby for required fields
  • Inline form validation with polite aria-live status announcements
  • Color contrast that meets or exceeds WCAG AA requirements
  • Responsive layouts that work at 200% browser zoom
  • Mobile navigation with ARIA state announcements and Escape-key dismissal
  • Reduced-motion support for users who prefer minimal animation

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some content on this site may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations include:

  • Linked PDF reports hosted on third-party sites (e.g., client websites, government agencies) may not meet WCAG accessibility standards. We do not control the formatting of these external documents.
  • Third-party form processing. Our contact form is processed by FormSubmit.co. We have configured our form fields with proper labels, but the post-submission confirmation experience is governed by the third-party service.

If you encounter content you cannot access, please contact us using the information below and we will provide an alternative format upon request.
