Our Commitment
ResumeWalk is committed to ensuring that our website and application are accessible to people with disabilities. We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and to comply with applicable accessibility laws including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Current Status
ResumeWalk is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. "Partially conformant" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to address known gaps.
What We Have Done
- Semantic HTML5 elements used throughout the application for proper document structure.
- Color contrast ratios tested to meet or exceed the WCAG 2.1 AA minimum of 4.5:1 for normal text.
- Interactive elements (buttons, links, form fields) include visible focus indicators.
- Form inputs are associated with descriptive labels.
- Icons used decoratively are hidden from screen readers via
aria-hidden. - All images include descriptive alt text where applicable.
- The site is navigable using keyboard alone (Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space, Escape).
- Page titles are descriptive and unique per route.
Known Limitations
Despite our best efforts, some areas of the application may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Known limitations include:
- Resume preview panel: The PDF-style rendered resume preview is a visual representation optimized for printing. It may not be fully navigable by screen readers. The underlying resume data is accessible through the Advanced Editor form fields.
- AI-generated content: Content generated by our AI is not reviewed for accessibility of phrasing or structure before display.
- Drag-and-drop interactions: Some section reordering features rely on drag-and-drop, which may not be accessible to keyboard-only users. Equivalent functionality is available via the section controls.
- Complex modal dialogs: Some modal dialogs may not correctly trap focus in all browser/screen reader combinations. We are working on improvements.
- Third-party components: Some UI components sourced from third-party libraries may have accessibility gaps that are outside our direct control.
Technical Specifications
ResumeWalk relies on the following technologies for conformance:
- HTML5
- CSS (Tailwind CSS)

The application has been tested with the following combinations of browsers and assistive technologies:
- Google Chrome (latest) + NVDA on Windows
- Safari (latest) + VoiceOver on macOS
- Firefox (latest) keyboard-only navigation
