Accessibility
Accessibility is part of whether a family can use the information at all.
Huddle treats accessible content and interaction as product quality, while keeping conformance claims tied to completed route-level testing.
Real use conditions
Good access begins with the situations families are already in.
Real use conditions
Accessible design supports people with visual, hearing, motor, cognitive and language-related needs, but it also helps anyone navigating under time pressure, fatigue, interruption or unfamiliar terminology.
The public site should preserve meaning when text is enlarged, motion is reduced, images are unavailable or a visitor uses keyboard, switch control, screen reader, voice input or touch.
Route-level acceptance
Eight checks before a page can be called accessible.
Quality requirements
Review should cover semantic headings and landmarks, keyboard order, visible focus, labels and errors, contrast, text scaling, reflow, touch targets, reduced motion, captions, meaningful alternatives and content that does not depend on colour or animation alone.
Plain language, descriptive links and stable navigation are part of accessibility. Localised pages need their own reading and layout review because a translated string can change length, hierarchy and comprehension.

Status and feedback
Do not claim conformance until testing, known issues and a feedback route are complete.
A credible statement should identify its scope, standard and version; automated and manual testing performed; environments covered; known limitations; review date; and the verified route for reporting a barrier.
Huddle does not currently claim certification, complete route-level conformance or the absence of accessibility defects. Reported barriers should be acknowledged, prioritised by impact and re-tested after correction when an operational feedback route exists.
