Phasal Science is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

  • Sufficient color contrast ratios between text and backgrounds
  • Decorative elements marked with aria-hidden to reduce screen reader noise
  • Responsive design that supports browser zoom up to 400%
  • Respect for prefers-reduced-motion — all animations are disabled when this user preference is set
  • Light and dark theme support with prefers-color-scheme awareness
  • Touch-friendly targets sized for mobile accessibility
