Accessibility Statement
Last updated: August 21, 2026
Dopamine Dealer is built and operated by Jen Built It LLC. We believe a habit tracker should work for everyone, including people who use screen readers, navigate by keyboard, rely on high-contrast modes, or otherwise depend on assistive technology. This statement explains where we stand, where we're working, and how to tell us about something we missed.
Our standard
We aim for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA conformance across Dopamine Dealer (dopaminedealerhabits.com). WCAG 2.1 AA is the level cited in most US, EU, and UK accessibility laws and the level courts use to evaluate website accessibility claims.
What this means in practice
- Keyboard navigation: every interactive element (links, buttons, form fields, habit rows, the Dealer himself) is reachable and operable using only a keyboard. Focus is always visible.
- Color contrast: body text meets a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background. Large text and interactive controls meet at least 3:1.
- Form labels: every input has a label associated with it programmatically, so screen readers announce the right field.
- Semantic structure: headings are in order, landmarks are used (
<main>,<footer>,<nav>), and page regions are identifiable. - Alt text: meaningful images carry descriptive
altattributes; decorative images use emptyalt=""so screen readers skip them. - No timed traps: there are no session timeouts that boot users without warning, and no modal dialogs that capture focus without an escape.
- Resize and zoom: the layout reflows cleanly up to 200% zoom without horizontal scrolling on mobile.
- Color is not the only signal: links are underlined, errors include text (not just red borders), and required fields are labeled.
What we use to verify it
- Automated checks with axe-core and Lighthouse, run on the public pages before each deploy.
- Manual keyboard-only navigation testing on signup, login, password reset, account, and the daily habit-check flow.
- Spot-checks with macOS VoiceOver and NVDA on Windows for key flows.
Known limitations
We try to be transparent about gaps we know exist:
- Mascot and celebration animations: the Dealer idles, blinks, and reacts with CSS animations, and checking off a habit fires particle bursts and a short screen flash. The streak milestone, comeback, and contract celebrations respect
prefers-reduced-motion. The everyday check-off sparkles and the full-day celebration do not yet have a reduced-motion mode. If that is a barrier for you, tell us and it moves up the list. - Sound: the app makes no sound, so there is nothing to mute.
Tell us if something is broken
If you hit a barrier, anything that prevents you from completing a task on Dopamine Dealer, please tell us. We treat accessibility reports the same way we treat security reports: as a priority, with a real human reply.
