Accessibility

Built to be usable, not just to look right.

What we have done for accessibility on bioregen.me, what we have not done, and how to tell us about a barrier.

This statement covers bioregen.me, including the shop, the research library, the guides, product pages, the cart, the checkout, and the account area. Two things sit outside our control and are named plainly further down: the card number field at checkout, which our payment processor draws inside its own frame, and the separate store at store.bioregen.me, which runs on third-party software. If you hit a barrier in either one, tell us anyway. We will pass it to the vendor and tell you what they say.

Our commitment

BioRegen exists to give researchers clear, well-organized information about the materials we supply. We want people who use a keyboard, a screen reader, voice control, magnification, or any other assistive technology to browse the research library, read a compound's research notes, and get through an order without fighting the page. We would rather write down what is actually true about this site, including the parts that are not good enough yet, than publish a badge.

What we have done

These are specific changes made to the pages themselves, not settings on a widget:

  • Skip to main content. The first thing a keyboard reaches is a link that jumps past the whole header and navigation and lands on the page content. It stays hidden until it is focused. This is on the storefront, every product page, the research library, the guides, the cart, the checkout, the account area, and the campaign landing pages. The one page without it is the affiliate dashboard, which is a single sign-in panel with no navigation to skip past.
  • Visible focus. Whatever the keyboard is currently on gets a clear white outline, set once for the whole site. Getting this right meant deleting every rule in our own stylesheets that had been switching the browser's focus ring off, including on the checkout and account forms.
  • Form labels. Every field we build ourselves on the checkout, account, and calculator forms has a label tied to that specific field, so assistive technology announces what the box is for, and so tapping the label moves you into it. The one field we do not build is the card number, which is covered below.
  • Named controls. The account and cart buttons in the header are icons. They now carry real text names for assistive technology, and the cart announces how many items are in it. The mobile menu button is a real button that works with Tab and Enter or Space, and it reports whether the menu is open or closed.
  • Motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, we switch off the scroll-triggered animations, the moving effects on the home page, and smooth scrolling.
  • Images. Every image on these pages carries alt text. There is no video and no audio anywhere on this site, so there is nothing here that needs captions or a transcript.
  • Reading without JavaScript. The catalog, product pages, research library, guides, and FAQ are fully readable with JavaScript switched off, because the navigation, footer, and product listings are written into the page rather than drawn in afterwards. The cart, checkout, and account area do genuinely need JavaScript, and they say so on the page instead of failing silently.
  • Language. Every page declares its language, so a screen reader reads it with the right pronunciation.

Where we stand today

We are working towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. We are not claiming that we meet it. We have not commissioned an independent accessibility audit, we hold no certification, and nobody should read this page as a conformance claim. We are also not running an accessibility overlay, toolbar, or widget. Those do not fix a page, and where the underlying page is broken they tend to hide it.

What produced the list above was a review of this site's own stylesheets and page templates, followed by fixing what that review found. That is a real method and it catches real defects, and it is also not the same thing as testing the site with the assistive technology you actually use. The gaps below are the honest consequence of that.

What we have not done, and what we know is still wrong.
  • We have not run an automated accessibility scan or a screen reader pass across the whole site. The research library alone runs to well over a hundred pages, and they have not been checked one by one.
  • The card number field at checkout is drawn by Stripe inside its own frame. We cannot change its markup or its labels. If it does not work with your assistive technology, please still tell us, because we can raise it with Stripe and we can tell you what we hear back.
  • store.bioregen.me is a separate store running third-party software. It is not covered by this statement and it has not been reviewed.
  • We have not checked every color combination on the site against the contrast thresholds, so some smaller or dimmer text may fall short.
  • Email is the only way to reach us. There is no contact form, no phone number, and no published mailing address.

If a page is hard to use

If you use assistive technology and something on bioregen.me does not work the way it should, we want to hear about it, including the small things. It helps if you can tell us what you were trying to do, the address of the page, and the browser, device, and assistive technology you were using, because that is usually what lets us reproduce the problem instead of guessing at it.

If we can fix it, we will. If it sits with Stripe or with the software behind the separate store, we will tell you that rather than leave you waiting on something that is not ours to change.

Contact us

Email support@bioregen.me and describe the issue as above. It is the same address as the one in the footer of every page on this site. BioRegen does not publish a phone number or a mailing address.
