Accessibility.

Vault is built to be usable by everyone. Where it falls short, we want to know — and fix it.

Placeholder · Audit Pending This page is a structural draft. The "what works" and "known limitations" sections should be re-confirmed against an actual WCAG 2.2 AA audit (manual + automated) before being held out as official. The conformance level claimed should match the most recent audit's findings.

01Our commitment

Vault Management LLC is committed to making vaultmgt.com accessible to the broadest possible audience — people using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, voice control, screen magnifiers, switch access, low-bandwidth connections, and any combination of the above. We design for it from the start; we don't bolt it on at launch.

If you encounter a barrier on this site, that's a defect we want to fix. The fastest way to get it fixed is to tell us — details below.

02Standard & conformance

vaultmgt.com targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance. We test against this standard during initial design, before each major release, and quarterly thereafter.

Standard
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, published by the W3C.
Target level
AA — the level recommended for most public websites and required by many regulations (US ADA, EU EAA, UK PSBAR, Section 508).
Last review
January 2026 — manual testing and automated scan.
Tools used
VoiceOver (macOS / iOS), NVDA (Windows), keyboard-only navigation, color contrast analyzer, axe DevTools, Lighthouse.

03What works well

Specific design decisions made to support assistive technology:

  • Semantic HTML throughout — landmarks (header, nav, main, footer), heading hierarchy, lists where lists belong.
  • All interactive elements reachable by keyboard with visible focus indicators.
  • Form fields labeled, validation surfaced through native browser messages, error states announced to screen readers.
  • Touch targets at least 44 × 44 px on mobile, exceeding WCAG 2.2 AA (24 × 24).
  • Color contrast meets or exceeds AA for body copy, mono labels, and interactive text.
  • Animation honors prefers-reduced-motion — the cinematic intro, the constellation, the per-character headline reveal, and all transitions are disabled or simplified for users who request it.
  • The custom cursor is hidden on touch devices and on keyboards; the default OS cursor remains the primary pointer.
  • The site renders and functions without JavaScript at a basic level — content is in the HTML, navigation works, forms submit.

04Known limitations

We're transparent about what's not perfect:

  • Cinematic intro on the homepage. The Three.js vault-door sequence is decorative. It is automatically skipped on touch devices and for users with reduced-motion preferences. A keyboard-accessible "skip intro" mechanism is on the roadmap.
  • Auto-playing video reels. The hero phone reel and talent-room cards autoplay muted. They pause on hover/focus and respect reduced-motion. Native browser controls remain accessible to screen readers.
  • Custom cursor labels. Context-aware labels (e.g. "WATCH," "APPLY") are visual only. The underlying interactive elements have proper accessible names via aria-label or text content; the labels are decorative reinforcement.
  • Constellation backdrop. Decorative canvas with no semantic meaning. Marked aria-hidden and disabled under reduced-motion.

If something here is preventing you from using the site, we don't accept it as "known" — we accept it as a thing to fix. Tell us.

05Compatibility

vaultmgt.com is tested with the following combinations. It may work in others; we just don't actively test them:

  • Screen readers — VoiceOver (macOS Sonoma and later, iOS 17+), NVDA (latest), JAWS (latest).
  • Browsers — Safari 17+, Chrome 120+, Firefox 120+, Edge 120+.
  • Operating systems — macOS 13+, iOS 16+, Windows 11, Android 12+, recent Linux distributions.

The site is responsive and works at viewports as narrow as 320 px. Zooming up to 200% does not break layout or hide content.

06Report a barrier

If something on the site doesn't work for you, please write to accessibility@vaultmgt.com. Include:

  • The page URL where you encountered the issue.
  • What you were trying to do.
  • What happened (or didn't).
  • The assistive technology, browser, and operating system you were using, if you know.

We aim to acknowledge within 2 business days and provide a fix or workaround within 10 business days for AA-level conformance defects. Where a fix takes longer, we will tell you why and give you a date.

07Formal complaints

If you've reported a barrier and aren't satisfied with how we've responded, you have the right to escalate. Avenues:

  • United States — file a complaint with the Department of Justice under the ADA, or the FCC under the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act.
  • European Union — contact the enforcement body for the European Accessibility Act in your member state.
  • United Kingdom — contact the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

We'd appreciate the chance to fix it first. Email accessibility@vaultmgt.com before filing a formal complaint and we will treat it as a priority.

08Review & updates

This statement is reviewed quarterly and after every material change to the site. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent review. Material changes to our accessibility approach will be highlighted at the top of this page for 30 days.

Accessibility isn't a launch checklist. It's a maintenance discipline. We treat it that way.
