Accessibility
Effective May 30, 2026
newborn.mom is read by exhausted people on small screens at 3am, often one-handed. Building it to be usable for everyone is the same job as building it to be usable at all. This page explains what we do and how to tell us when we fall short.
The standard we aim for
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. That is a target we work toward continuously, not a one-time certification.
What we do
- Semantic HTML and a logical heading order on every page.
- Full keyboard navigation, with a visible focus outline.
- Text and interface colors checked for sufficient contrast in both light and dark themes.
- Descriptive alternative text on meaningful images.
- Labels and accessible names on every form field and control.
- Respect for the reduce-motion setting, so animation is dialed down when you ask your device for less.
- Readable line lengths and text that scales when you zoom.
- Automated accessibility checks (axe) run as part of our test suite.
Known limitations
Some embedded third-party content, such as video players or a payment checkout, is controlled by the provider and may not fully meet our standard. We choose accessible providers where we can and flag the rest. If something blocks you, tell us and we will help directly.
Reporting an issue
If any part of the site is hard to use with assistive technology, or you cannot get to information you need, email hello@newborn.mom with the page and what went wrong. We read every message and will get you the information another way while we fix the page.
