Built so every door opens.

Our commitment

We're committed to providing a website that meets the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA — the standard recognized internationally as the bar for accessible digital experiences. We design and build with accessibility in mind from the start, not as an afterthought.

We believe accessibility is a baseline, not a feature. If part of our site doesn't work for you, that's a bug we want to fix — not an exception we expect you to work around.

What we already do

Across every page on this site, we aim to ensure:

• Keyboard navigation. Every interactive element — links, buttons, forms, menus — is reachable and operable using only the keyboard. A "Skip to main content" link is the first focusable item on every page.
• Screen-reader friendly markup. Headings, landmarks, ARIA labels, and form labels are written so screen readers like VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS can announce structure and meaning clearly.
• Color contrast. Text contrast meets or exceeds WCAG AA ratios (4.5:1 for body, 3:1 for large text and UI). A light/dark theme toggle gives readers control over how content appears.
• Resizable text. Layouts adapt to font sizes up to 200% without breaking, and the entire site is responsive from 320px-wide phones to large desktops.
• Alt text. Meaningful images carry descriptive alt text; decorative graphics are marked so assistive tech skips them.
• Visible focus states. Keyboard focus is visually clear on every link, button, and field, so users can always see where they are on the page.
• Reduced-motion respect. Subtle animations are disabled automatically when a visitor's system preference is "reduce motion."
• Plain-language writing. We aim to write at a reading level that's accessible to non-native English speakers, since many of our visitors are international.

The standards we follow

This site targets conformance with:

• WCAG 2.2, Level AA — the World Wide Web Consortium's accessibility guidelines.
• Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act, where applicable.
• The accessibility expectations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as currently understood by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Where we know we have work to do

We're a young organization in pre-launch, and accessibility is a continuous process — not a one-time audit. Areas we're actively improving:

• Some images on the site (architectural, lifestyle, and stock photography) currently use brief alt text and will be expanded with richer descriptions over time.
• Our forms (early-access signup, listing-management) work with screen readers, but we're adding clearer real-time error and confirmation messages on every field.
• We have not yet completed a third-party accessibility audit. We plan to commission one before our public launch and will publish the findings here.

Assistive technology compatibility

The site is built and tested to work with current versions of:

• Screen readers: VoiceOver (macOS, iOS), NVDA (Windows), JAWS (Windows), TalkBack (Android).
• Browsers: Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox — current and one major version back.
• Operating systems: macOS, iOS, Windows 10/11, Android, and modern Linux distributions.
• Voice control: Voice Control on Apple devices, Voice Access on Android, Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and Windows Speech Recognition.

If you use a different assistive technology and run into trouble, please report it — we'd rather hear about a real problem in the field than ship a checklist that doesn't reflect reality.

How to report a barrier

If you encounter anything on this site that's hard or impossible to use because of a disability, please reach out. Tell us as much as you can — what page you were on, what you were trying to do, what assistive technology you were using — and we'll respond within 2 business days.

Formal complaints

If you've contacted us about an accessibility barrier and you're not satisfied with our response, you have the right to file a complaint with:

• U.S. Department of Justice (ADA): ada.gov/file-a-complaint
• U.S. Access Board (Section 508): access-board.gov/about/contact

A note from the founder

My mother spent twenty years working with people who needed help — kids with disabilities, elders with dementia, families navigating impossible care decisions. The lesson I learned from her work is the same lesson I'm trying to build into Life Capital: access isn't extra. It's the whole point.

If our site fails you, it fails the mission. Please write to me directly.
