Built to be read by everyone.

We want ctostudio.com to work for every visitor — including those using screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, or assistive technologies. This page describes what we target, where we know we fall short, and how to tell us if something is broken.

Our target

We design and develop this site to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. That covers color contrast (4.5:1 minimum for body text), keyboard operability, screen reader semantics, focus visibility, and resilience to text resizing up to 200%.

How we test

We test our pages with a combination of:

• Automated scans using axe-core, the engine behind Chrome Lighthouse, on every page after substantial changes.
• Manual keyboard-only navigation across all primary flows (homepage carousels, bio pages, forms, the calendar modal).
• Screen-reader spot checks with VoiceOver (macOS) on the most-visited pages.

Known limitations

A few areas we're aware of and continue to work on:

• Embedded YouTube videos. Our interview players are provided by YouTube. Their iframe player's accessibility is governed by Google, not us — we link to the canonical video on youtube.com so users with assistive tech can fall back to that environment when needed.
• Live carousels. The interview carousels on the homepage are scrollable horizontally. They're navigable by keyboard via the prev/next buttons, but the underlying scroll snap is mouse-and-touch first.
• Third-party content. Some embedded content (event calendars, external articles linked from blog posts) is hosted by partners and is not under our direct control.

Reporting an issue

If something on ctostudio.com is blocking you, or you spot an accessibility issue we should fix, please email info@howdy.com with a description of the issue, the page URL, and the assistive tech / browser you're using. We aim to respond within five business days and to fix critical issues as soon as we can verify them.
