Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: May 20, 2026

1. Our Commitment

MarketIntel is committed to making marketintel.co.in accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We believe that access to rigorous market research and business intelligence should not be limited by the medium through which it is delivered.

We continually work to improve the accessibility of our website in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

2. Conformance Status

Our target is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance. The website is partially conformant: most features meet Level AA criteria, and we are actively working to address known gaps (described in Section 5 below).

3. What We Have Done

Semantic Structure

• All pages use semantic HTML5 elements (<header>, <main>, <nav>, <article>, <footer>) to provide meaningful document structure to screen readers and other assistive technologies.
• Heading levels (H1–H4) are used in logical order to reflect content hierarchy. No heading levels are skipped.

Keyboard Navigation

• All interactive elements—links, buttons, and form fields—are reachable and operable via keyboard alone (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, arrow keys).
• Focus states are visually indicated on interactive elements.

Colour and Contrast

• Text meets or exceeds the WCAG AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 against its background for normal text, and 3:1 for large text (18pt+ or 14pt bold+).
• Colour is never used as the sole means of conveying information (e.g., category labels also include text).

Images and Media

• Decorative images include an empty alt="" attribute so screen readers skip them.
• Informational images include descriptive alt text that conveys the purpose and content of the image.
• We do not currently publish video or audio content. If we do in future, captions and transcripts will be provided.

Responsive Design

• The website is fully responsive and usable at viewport widths from 320px to 2560px.
• Text can be resized up to 200% using browser zoom without loss of content or functionality.
• The layout reflows appropriately for small screens without requiring horizontal scrolling.

Forms

• All form fields on the Contact page include visible labels associated via for/id attributes.
• Required fields are indicated both visually and programmatically.
• Error messages are descriptive and linked to the specific field that triggered the error.

Links

• Link text is descriptive where possible (we avoid "click here" and "read more" without context).
• External links do not open in a new tab without user knowledge.

No Flashing Content

• The website does not contain content that flashes more than three times per second.

4. Technologies We Rely On

The accessibility of marketintel.co.in relies on the following technologies being supported by the user's browser and assistive technology:

• HTML5
• CSS3
• JavaScript (ES2020+)
• WAI-ARIA 1.1 where applicable

We test primarily with:

• Screen readers: NVDA (Windows / Firefox), VoiceOver (macOS / Safari)
• Keyboard-only navigation: Chrome, Firefox, Safari
• Automated tools: axe DevTools, WAVE browser extension

5. Known Issues and Limitations

We are aware of the following accessibility gaps and are working to resolve them:

Issue	Affected Pages	Status
Some article body content rendered from Markdown may produce inconsistent heading hierarchy depending on how authors structure source content	Article pages	In progress — editorial guidelines being updated
Focus indicator visibility may be reduced on certain dark-background sections	Homepage hero, article hero	Scheduled for improvement
The cookie consent banner may not announce its appearance automatically to all screen readers	All pages (first visit)	Under review
Data tables in research articles may lack full <caption> and <scope> attributes on programmatically inserted content	Article pages	In progress

We are committed to addressing all issues at Priority 1 within three months of identification.
