Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed: August 2026

1. Our commitment

W89 GmbH wants this website to be usable by as many people as possible, regardless of ability, assistive technology, or device. We measure ourselves against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, conformance level AA.

We deliberately describe this as a benchmark rather than a certification: this website has not been audited by an independent accessibility body. The statements below are based on our own review.

2. What is in place

  • The entire website can be operated by keyboard alone, without a mouse.
  • A skip link at the top of each page leads directly to the main content.
  • Focused elements are visibly highlighted.
  • There are no overlays, pop-ups, or cookie notices that obscure content or interrupt operation.
  • Text and user interface contrast ratios have been calculated and meet at least level AA in both the light and the dark appearance.
  • Visitors who have enabled reduced motion in their operating system receive no animations and no moving background.
  • The site uses semantic HTML with a consistent heading structure so that screen readers convey the page structure correctly.
  • Content remains readable without horizontal scrolling at screen widths from 320 pixels and at up to 200 percent text zoom.
  • The language of each page is marked up machine-readably so that screen readers pronounce content correctly.

3. Known limitations

  • The animated background on the home page is purely decorative. It is hidden from screen readers and is replaced by a static surface when reduced motion is requested or when a device lacks the required graphics support.
  • This website has not been tested with every common screen reader and browser combination. If something is not accessible with your setup, please tell us.

4. Feedback and contact

If you encounter a barrier or need content in an alternative format, write to us at legal@w89.ch. Please describe the page concerned and, if possible, the device and assistive technology you are using.

We confirm receipt within five working days and let you know how and by when we will address the issue.

5. Legal context

W89 GmbH is a private company based in Switzerland. The Swiss Disability Discrimination Act (BehiG) primarily binds federal and cantonal bodies; it imposes no direct website requirements on private providers. We nonetheless follow the recognised international standards, because we regard accessibility as a mark of quality rather than a compliance exercise.

This statement was prepared in August 2026 and is based on a self-assessment. It is reviewed whenever the website changes materially.
