Crowdfunder is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. We are always working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website.
We want everyone who visits the Crowdfunder website to feel welcome and find the experience rewarding.
Website Accessibility Overview
The Crowdfunder website has been designed to meet **Level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2**, and the applicable requirements of **EN 301 549**.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
Accessibility exceptions
We know some parts of our site are not fully accessible and we are working to improve accessibility in these areas. These areas fall outside our core pages and should not affect most users.
User content
User‑published areas are sections of the website where content is created and managed by users. Examples of user‑generated content include comments and user‑supplied videos.
Crowdfunder has designed these to be accessible by providing an accessible framework, including consistent layout, styling, and accessible components. However, the user generated content is not under our direct control and may not meet these same standards if users create content that does not follow best practice such as:
* Links without sufficiently descriptive link text
* Colour combinations that do not meet the minimum contrast requirements
* Recorded video content without audio descriptions
However, these issues would be limited to specific elements on specific project pages and will not affect the vast majority of visitors.
If you do have an accessibility issue with any specific user generated content on our site, please get in touch and we will work with the user to improve accessibility where possible.
Examples of User-Generated Content:
Comments
User-uploaded videos
Although we encourage accessible practices, some user-generated content may not fully comply with accessibility standards, such as missing descriptions or inadequate contrast ratios.
Third‑party software
A very small number third‑party forms, tools, or applications integrated into the website may not fully meet **WCAG 2.2** or **EN 301 549** requirements. Where possible, we work with suppliers to improve accessibility and consider accessibility compliance as part of our procurement and contract renewal processes. If you do have an accessibility issue with such tools on our site, please get in touch and we will work with the supplier to improve accessibility where possible.
Older PDFs and other documents
A small number of older PDF and Word documents published on the website may not be correctly structured for assistive technologies and may not expose sufficient information about name, role or value. We are reviewing existing documents and, where feasible, will either remediate them or replace them with accessible alternatives.
If you have an accessibility issue with any particular document on our site, please get in touch and we will provide you with an accessible alternative.
