Accessibility statement

This site is for everyone.

What we’ve built, what we’re still working on, and how to tell us if something blocks you.

Sunlight Finance aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at Level AA. We treat accessibility as a baseline editorial standard, not a feature — financial information matters most to people who are too often shut out of it.

What we’ve done

  • Semantic HTML throughout (proper headings, landmark roles, list elements, button vs. link distinctions).
  • Skip-to-content link at the top of every page for keyboard and screen-reader users.
  • Full keyboard navigation. No interaction requires a mouse.
  • Visible focus states on all interactive elements.
  • Color contrast of at least 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, against the lightest and darkest backgrounds.
  • Alt text on every meaningful image. Decorative images are marked aria-hidden.
  • Form labels associated with their inputs via for/id.
  • Animations respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query and can be disabled at the OS level.
  • Page structure works with JavaScript disabled — the site still renders, links still work, content remains visible.

Known limitations

Honestly:

  • The interactive loan calculator uses slider controls. Keyboard input works (arrow keys), but the experience is less smooth than text-input alternatives. We’re evaluating a paired text-input mode.
  • Some hover effects (3D card tilt, magnetic buttons) are purely decorative and have no keyboard equivalent — they simply don’t fire for keyboard users, which is the correct accessible default but means keyboard users see slightly less polish.
  • Complex comparison tables read sensibly with a screen reader but are easier on a wide screen. A future update will add an alternate single-column view for narrow viewports and assistive tech.

Found a barrier?

If something on this site keeps you from reading or using a tool, please tell us. Email [email protected] with the page URL and what you’re trying to do. We treat accessibility reports the same as factual corrections: verify, fix, and reply within 5 business days.

Standards we follow

  • WCAG 2.2 Level AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (W3C).
  • Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act, for any reader from a U.S. federal agency.
  • ADA Title III standards for public-accommodation websites in the United States.
