Accessibility Statement
ACCESS IS NOT A FEATURE.
IT IS A RIGHT.
And it is built into the blueprint.
ARCHFIEND® does not bolt accessibility onto the end.
We design for access from the first sketch — not the final audit.
Because inclusion is not branding.
It is infrastructure.
OUR COMMITMENT
ARCHFIEND® is committed to making our digital experience equally navigable, legible, and intentional for all users — regardless of physical, sensory, or cognitive ability.
We don’t just aim to “comply.”
We aim to construct a site that resists exclusion by default.
DESIGN STANDARDS
The ARCHFIEND® website is designed with:
-
Semantic HTML5 for assistive tech compatibility
-
ARIA landmarks for structured screen reader flow
-
High-contrast typographic brutalism (WCAG 2.1 AA+)
-
No forced animations or strobing visuals
-
Keyboard-navigable UX across all key flows
-
Text-based equivalents for all critical visuals and CTAs
We avoid carousels, overlays, popups, and neurotypical UX distractions.
Our design language is clean, modular, and fully navigable.
SCREEN READER COMPATIBILITY
We regularly test with:
-
VoiceOver (MacOS, iOS)
-
NVDA (Windows)
-
JAWS
-
ChromeVox
ALT text is not decorative filler — it is editorially authored to describe the image conceptually, not just visually.
FONT & TYPOGRAPHY
We use a legible, scalable typographic system with:
-
Sufficient letter-spacing
-
No visual distortion at zoom
-
Full viewport flexibility (including 200%+ scaling)
-
Dark-mode readability
ARCHFIEND® typography is not ornamental.
It is functional form.
LIMITATIONS & FEEDBACK
If you encounter any barrier — visual, technical, structural — we want to know.
Please include:
-
Description of issue
-
Device + browser used
-
Assistive tech (if any)
-
Desired improvement
We do not outsource this inbox. Every submission is reviewed by our core digital systems team.
ONGOING EVOLUTION
We view accessibility as a design ethic, not a checkbox.
This site is in continuous iteration — reviewed quarterly with both internal audits and external consultant input.
Updates are published transparently.
Compliance is not our ceiling. It is our floor.
ARCHITECTURE FOR ALL.
ARCHFIEND® is for those who see — and for those who listen.
For every interface, every ritual, every path through the brutalist maze.
Access is design.
Access is intention.
Access is not optional.
