Accessibility is a right, not a feature.
Approximately 25% of U.S. adults live with a disability. Themis is built so every one of them can use it — fully, independently, and without compromise.
Standards we build to
Themis is built to meet or exceed the following accessibility standards:
WCAG 2.2 Level AA
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, maintained by the W3C, are the internationally recognized standard for web accessibility. Level AA is our floor, not our ceiling.
Section 508
The U.S. federal standard requiring accessible information and communication technology. Themis aligns with Section 508 requirements.
ADA Title III
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that places of public accommodation, including websites, be accessible to people with disabilities.
These are not aspirational targets. They are architectural requirements enforced from the first line of code in every tier — including Starter.
What we've built
Keyboard Navigation
Every feature in Themis is reachable and operable using only a keyboard. Tab to navigate between elements, Enter or Space to activate buttons and controls, Escape to close modals and menus, and arrow keys to navigate within components like the FAQ accordion and pricing toggles.
Screen Reader Support
Themis uses semantic HTML (nav, main, section, header, footer) and ARIA labels throughout the application. Interactive elements have descriptive labels. Dynamic content updates are announced to screen readers. We test with NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver.
Skip Navigation
Every page includes a skip-to-content link as the first focusable element, allowing keyboard and screen reader users to bypass the navigation and jump directly to the main content.
Focus Indicators
All interactive elements — links, buttons, form inputs, toggles — display a visible focus outline (3px solid) when navigated to via keyboard. Focus indicators are never hidden or suppressed.
High Contrast Mode
The Themis application includes a high contrast toggle in Settings that increases border widths, sharpens text contrast, and ensures all elements meet or exceed WCAG AAA contrast ratios (7:1 for normal text).
Large Text Mode
A text size toggle in Settings increases all body text and UI labels for users who need larger type. This works independently of browser zoom.
Reduced Motion
Themis respects the prefers-reduced-motion operating system setting. When enabled, all animations, transitions, and motion effects are disabled. Users can also toggle this in Settings regardless of OS preference.
Color Independence
Color is never the only indicator of meaning. All status indicators, error states, and interactive elements use text labels, icons, or patterns in addition to color. Users who are colorblind can use every feature without ambiguity.
Contrast Ratios
All text meets WCAG 2.2 AA contrast requirements: 4.5:1 minimum for normal text, 3:1 for large text (18px bold or 24px regular). Critical content targets 7:1 (AAA). Accent colors used for decorative purposes are never used as the sole text color on light backgrounds.
Responsive Design
Themis works across screen sizes, from desktop to mobile. Content reflows at all breakpoints without horizontal scrolling. Touch targets meet the 44px minimum for mobile use.
This is an ongoing commitment
Accessibility is not a checkbox we mark once and forget. It is a continuous practice woven into every design decision, every code review, and every product update.
We regularly audit Themis for accessibility compliance. When new features are added, they are built with accessibility from the start — not retrofitted after the fact. When issues are found, they are treated as high-priority defects and fixed promptly.
We recognize that no product is perfectly accessible to every user in every context. That's why we want to hear from you.
Found a barrier? Tell us.
If you encounter any accessibility issue while using Themis — a screen reader that can't parse a section, a keyboard trap, a contrast problem, or anything else that prevents you from using the product effectively — please let us know.

Subject line suggestion: Accessibility Issue — [brief description]
Include as much detail as you can: what you were trying to do, what happened (or didn't), what browser and assistive technology you were using, and any screenshots if possible. We will acknowledge your report within 3 business days and work to resolve the issue as quickly as we can.
Lonia AI was founded on the principle that technology should expand access, not restrict it. Our founder has spent over a decade in accessibility — leading WCAG and Section 508 redesigns for state government websites, building accessibility operations tools, and designing for users that most companies never think about.
Accessibility isn't a feature we added to Themis because regulations told us to. It's the reason Lonia AI exists.
