Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: July 3, 2026

Our Commitment

Island Pitch is a disability-led company. Accessibility isn't a feature we add to our work — it's the reason a lot of our work exists. We are DOBE certified (Disability-Owned Business Enterprise, via Disability:IN), we teach accessibility at conferences like Knowbility AccessU, and we audit other people's products for a living.

So this page holds us to our own standard: islandpitch.com aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA — and where we fall short, this page says so out loud.

What We Do

  • Semantic structure — landmarks, ordered headings, lists, and labeled controls, so screen readers can navigate by structure rather than luck.
  • Keyboard first — every interactive element reachable and operable by keyboard, with visible focus indicators.
  • Meaningful alt text on informative images; decorative images hidden from assistive technology. (Yes — including the comics. Every panel we publish ships with a written description.)
  • Color contrast targeting 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
  • Captions and transcripts for the video and audio content we produce.
  • Reduced-motion support — animations respect prefers-reduced-motion.

How We Assess

Ongoing self-assessment using a combination of automated tools, manual keyboard testing, and screen reader review — the same five-check afternoon audit we teach in our free accessibility guide. This site has not yet been independently audited; we believe transparency is more valuable than a perfect score on paper.

Known Limitations

  • Platform dependency: islandpitch.com runs on HubSpot CMS. Some platform-generated markup, forms, and tracking components are outside our direct control. We remediate what the theme layer can reach and report what it can't.
  • Legacy blog media: some older Pitch Point posts predate our current alt-text standard. A back-catalog remediation pass is on the fix list.
  • Third-party embeds: embedded content (social posts, video players, scheduling widgets) may not fully meet our standard. We choose vendors with accessibility support where alternatives exist.
  • LearnAI interactive course: the voice-guided experience is built accessibility-first, but game-like elements are still being hardened against AA criteria. Text equivalents are provided.

This list will change. That's the point of it.

Feedback

Found a barrier anywhere on our ship? Tell us — that's not a complaint, it's a course correction: accessibility@islandpitch.com. Include the page URL and, if you're comfortable sharing, your browser and assistive technology. A human reads every report.

The Fleet

Every Island Pitch product publishes its own accessibility statement: islandpitch.in · nextwave.ing · islandpitch.bot. One standard, four public scoreboards.

This statement was created in July 2026 — prompted, in the spirit of full disclosure, by our own blog post pointing out that this page didn't exist yet.
