Access is part of usefulness

A guide cannot help if the page gets in your way.

Worthwise aims to make its research readable and operable across common devices, screen sizes, keyboards, and assistive technologies.

What we design for

Pages use semantic landmarks, a skip link, a consistent heading structure, visible keyboard focus, labeled controls, readable contrast, and layouts that reflow on small screens. Tables sit inside horizontal scroll regions when their information cannot be simplified safely.

The mobile navigation exposes its expanded state to assistive technology. Motion is limited, and reduced-motion preferences are respected. Statuses use words and structure rather than color alone.

  • Keyboard access to navigation, forms, filters, disclosures, and links
  • Text that can enlarge without hiding core controls
  • Touch targets with comfortable spacing
  • Form errors and status messages written in plain language
  • Original graphics treated as decoration or given useful alternative text

Known limits

Automated checks can catch only part of the problem. Worthwise also needs keyboard review, mobile review, and representative assistive-technology feedback. Third-party challenges and retailer pages are outside our direct control.

Complex product tables may require horizontal movement on a phone. We keep a visible cue and preserve the reading order rather than shrinking text until it becomes unreadable.

Our response

Worthwise reviews accessibility reports as product defects, not cosmetic preferences. A verified barrier is prioritized by severity, reach, and whether it blocks access to research or a reader control. Material fixes may appear in a page or site update history.
