The Wealth Advisor is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including readers with disabilities. This statement describes the steps we take to meet that commitment and how you can let us know if something is not working for you.
1. Our commitment
We believe quality financial journalism should be available to every reader. We design, build and review our site with that goal in mind, and we treat accessibility as part of editorial quality rather than an optional extra.
2. Conformance status
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. WCAG defines requirements for designers and developers to make content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. The Wealth Advisor is partially conformant — we meet most of the AA criteria but some areas of the Site are still being improved.
3. Measures we take
- Semantic HTML, clear heading structure and meaningful link text on every page.
- Keyboard navigation for all interactive elements, with visible focus states.
- Sufficient color contrast for body text and interactive controls.
- Alternative text on editorial images and descriptive captions where appropriate.
- Responsive layouts that work at 200% zoom and on small screens.
- Accessibility checks during development and before major releases.
4. Known limitations
Despite our best efforts, some content on the Site may not be fully accessible. In particular:
- A small number of older articles may contain images without descriptive alternative text.
- Some embedded third-party content (charts, video, social posts) does not always meet our accessibility standards. We work with these providers but cannot guarantee every embed.
- PDF documents published before 2024 may not be fully tagged for screen readers.
We are working to remediate these issues as part of our regular editorial and engineering work.
5. Compatibility
The Site is designed to be compatible with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) and with widely used assistive technologies, including screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) and operating-system zoom and magnification tools.
6. Feedback
If you run into a barrier on our Site, or if you have suggestions for how we can improve, we want to hear from you. Contact our editorial team — we read every message and aim to respond within two business days.
