Accessibility

How we build for everyone.

Aurum targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA across every page. We treat accessibility as a shipping requirement, not a follow-up. This page describes what we have done, what we have not, and how to report issues.

Conformance target

The site is built to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at Level AA. Where the European Accessibility Act (EAA), Section 508, or other regional standards apply, we aim to meet those as well. Last reviewed May 31, 2026.

What we have done

  • Semantic HTML. Every page uses a single <main> landmark, a <nav> for site navigation, a <footer> for site information, and proper heading order (h1 then h2 then h3, no skipped levels).
  • Skip to content. A keyboard-accessible skip link sits at the top of every page, hidden until focused.
  • Visible focus rings. Every interactive element shows a 2px Trading Floor Amber outline on keyboard focus. Outline never hidden by hover styles.
  • Color contrast. Body text targets a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against the slate-900 background. Large text targets 3:1. The footnote gray (#64748b) is the lightest we ship and is reserved for non-actionable copy.
  • Reduced motion. The pulse dot, fade-in entrances, and scroll-driven reveal respect the prefers-reduced-motion: reduce media query. Under that setting, animations collapse to instant or static frames.
  • Color is not the only signal. Win and loss are signaled by text labels (LONG, SHORT) and not by color alone. Errors include a text label, not just a red border.
  • Keyboard navigation. Every interactive element is reachable by Tab and operable by Enter or Space. Tab order matches visual order on every page.
  • FAQ disclosure. The FAQ uses native <details> elements so screen readers announce them as collapsible regions out of the box.
  • Aria where needed. Decorative icons (the pulse dot, the equity-curve SVG axis) are marked aria-hidden="true". The cookie consent banner uses role="dialog" and aria-labelledby so screen readers announce it correctly.
  • Resizable text. The site uses relative units (rem) on type so browser zoom up to 200% does not break the layout.
  • Tabular figures. Every numeric value uses font-variant-numeric: tabular-numsso columns of P&L do not shift width as digits change. This helps users with low vision parse the table at speed.

Known limitations

We have not yet:

  • Conducted a third-party accessibility audit. We plan to commission one before public launch.
  • Tested every page with every assistive technology combination (NVDA + Firefox, JAWS + Chrome, VoiceOver + Safari, TalkBack on Android, VoiceOver on iOS). We have tested with VoiceOver on macOS Safari only.
  • Provided a translated version. The site is English-only at launch.
  • Added text alternatives to the equity-curve chart on the stats page. The chart conveys information that is also presented in the year and quarter tables beneath it, but a dedicated text summary is a follow-up.

Report an issue

If something on this site is hard or impossible to use because of an accessibility barrier, email accessibility@aurum-markets.com with: the page URL, what you were trying to do, what blocked you, and your assistive technology and browser if relevant. We respond within 5 business days and aim to fix accepted issues within 30 days.

If we do not respond, the Qatar Financial Centre (for QFC-registered entities) or your local data-protection or accessibility regulator can take a complaint. EU users can also contact their national accessibility supervisor under Article 9 of the EAA.
