Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: May 27, 2026 · Operated by Valaya AI Technologies

Our commitment

SimpleGrid is built so the floor can use it - the same floor that runs on tablets in dust, gloves, and short attention spans. That shapes how we approach accessibility: large tap targets, high contrast, plain language, no reliance on color alone, and short pages that load fast on a $200 Android.

We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA across the simplegrid.ai marketing site and the SimpleGrid manufacturing ERP product.

What that means in practice

Keyboard navigation - every interactive element on the marketing site is reachable with Tab + Shift+Tab, with a visible focus indicator.
Skip-to-content link - the first focusable element on each page jumps past the navigation.
Semantic landmarks - header, main, nav, footer roles on every page so screen readers can jump around.
Image alt text - every image carries descriptive alt text, or aria-hidden="true" when decorative.
Contrast - body and CTA text is color-checked against WCAG AA. Primary brand blue was darkened from #4A7BF7 to #3461E0 specifically to pass AA against white.
No color-only meaning - status badges, rating bands, and chart values are always paired with a text label.
Forms - every input has a programmatically associated label and an inline error explanation.
Reduced motion - animated decorations respect prefers-reduced-motion; the canvas animation on the homepage pauses on scroll-off-screen and tab-hidden.

Known limitations

The dark/light theme toggle on the homepage uses the system color scheme as a default and persists choice in localStorage. Some operating-system themes have non-AA contrast on auxiliary text - we're tightening this.
A small set of older blog posts predate the current style guide and may have heading levels that skip H3.
PDFs generated by the free tools at /tools/ are tagged as standard PDFs (not PDF/UA). We are working through reading-order tagging.

How to report an issue

If something on simplegrid.ai or in the SimpleGrid product is hard to use with assistive technology, please email [email protected] with:

The page URL or product screen.
What you were trying to do.
Your assistive tech (screen reader + version, keyboard only, voice control, magnifier, etc.).

We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within 2 business days and ship a fix - or a concrete workaround - within 14 business days for blocking issues.

Standards and review

This statement was last reviewed on May 27, 2026. We test new pages with axe-core and a screen-reader pass (NVDA on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS / iOS) before they go live. Quarterly we audit the whole catalog against WCAG 2.1 AA.
