Accessibility statement

Last updated .

Web Friendly Help LLC is committed to making ResumeHarbor accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities. ResumeHarbor is an accessible, AI-assisted resume and cover letter builder. This statement describes the accessibility of the site and how to reach us if you encounter a barrier. It reflects a self-assessment conducted during active development; the site has not yet undergone an independent third-party accessibility audit.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements to improve accessibility for people with disabilities, across three levels: A, AA, and AAA. Our target is WCAG version 2.2, Level AA.

ResumeHarbor is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA, based on our own internal self-evaluation. "Partially conformant" means most of the site meets the target while some content does not yet fully conform, and that this assessment is self-reported rather than verified by an independent auditor. We are actively working toward full conformance and a formal audit.

Measures we have taken

  • Semantic HTML with a clear landmark structure (header, primary navigation, main content, and footer navigation), one H1 per page, and a logical heading hierarchy.
  • Full keyboard operability, with a visible two-color focus indicator that stays visible on light and dark backgrounds and over colored buttons.
  • Screen reader support designed against NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver reading patterns, with labeled fields, in-context instructions, and focusable error summaries.
  • A polite live region for status messages and a separate assertive region for errors, plus a route announcer that announces page changes and moves focus when you navigate within the app.
  • A skip link to the main content, touch targets of at least 44 by 44 pixels, and full support for the reduced-motion preference.
  • Light and dark color schemes with contrast verified against WCAG 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum) and 1.4.11 (Non-text Contrast).
  • Native form controls rather than custom widgets, descriptive link text, and content presented as lists where a data table is not needed.
  • Destructive actions such as account deletion use a type-to-confirm step with clear instructions, in line with WCAG 3.3.4 (Error Prevention).
  • A keyboard shortcut, Alt+Shift+B, to move focus to the file upload control, announced via aria-keyshortcuts and shown as a visible hint.

Technical specifications and compatibility

Accessibility of ResumeHarbor relies on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (including WAI-ARIA roles, states, and properties) working with your browser and assistive technologies. The site is designed to work with current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari together with common screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. It may not behave as intended in very old browsers that do not support these technologies.

Known limitations

Despite our efforts, some areas are not yet fully accessible or are still in progress:

  • A visual design pass is under way, so some styling may change.
  • PDF export is not yet available. DOCX export is provided, and the file contains real, selectable text rather than an image.
  • The demonstration video is a placeholder; a full text transcript is provided in its place.
  • The site has not yet had a formal independent accessibility audit, so the conformance status above is based on internal self-assessment.

If you find a limitation not listed here, please tell us using the feedback details below.

Assessment approach

Web Friendly Help LLC assessed accessibility by self-evaluation, carried out internally by an accessibility specialist during development. We have planned automated checks (axe-core in our continuous integration pipeline) and manual testing passes with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver as the product matures.
