Our accessibility approach
BusinessBanks.us aims to make its research usable with common browsers, keyboard navigation and assistive technology. The site uses semantic headings, visible focus states, descriptive link text, responsive layouts and a skip link that lets keyboard users move directly to the main content.
Editorial pages are designed around readable text rather than image-only explanations. Important banking information should remain available as text even when a visual element fails to load.
Navigation and document structure
Pages should use one clear H1 followed by logical section headings. Navigation labels should be consistent across the site, and links should identify their destination without requiring color alone. Tables and comparison structures should remain understandable on smaller screens and should not trap keyboard focus.
Images and visual presentation
Meaningful images should use useful alternative text. Decorative images should not create noise for screen-reader users. Text should maintain adequate contrast, and the layout should allow browser zoom without hiding essential controls or forcing horizontal reading for ordinary article content.
Known limitations
Accessibility can vary by browser, device and assistive technology. Third-party provider pages linked as sources are outside our control. Older components may also require further testing as the site evolves.
We treat a reproducible accessibility problem as a site-quality issue, not merely a cosmetic preference. Fixes should preserve the meaning and function of the affected content.
Reporting a problem
When the public contact channel is enabled, an accessibility report should include the page URL, the affected control or content, the browser or assistive technology if relevant, and a short description of what prevented access. Sensitive banking information is not required.
Ongoing review
Accessibility is checked alongside other release QA, including heading structure, broken links, mobile layout and interactive controls. A passing automated check does not prove full accessibility, so manual review remains important for navigation and reading flow.
