Gloseg

Accessibility

Accessibility statement

Gloseg is used by exporters, buyers and trade officers on every kind of device and connection. We build to WCAG 2.1 Level AA as our working standard and treat accessibility defects as functional defects.

Our commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. This is a working target that we test against during development; it is not a third-party certification, and we do not claim one. Where a page falls short, we treat it as a bug and fix it in the normal release cycle.

Accessibility checks run as part of our automated test suite across viewport widths of 390, 1024 and 1600 pixels, covering keyboard traversal, focus visibility, landmark structure and contrast on the public pages.

What we have implemented

Keyboard operable

Navigation, search, filters, forms and dialogs are reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring on every interactive element.

Contrast and typography

Body and interface text is checked against WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratios in both light and dark themes. Text scales with the browser without loss of content.

Touch targets

Interactive controls on mobile are at least 44 by 44 pixels, with safe-area padding so nothing sits under system gesture bars.

Assistive technology

Landmarks, headings, labels, table captions and live-region announcements are provided so screen readers can convey page structure and state changes.

Known limitations

Publishing these is part of the standard. Each is tracked and scheduled.

  • Some data-dense dashboard tables scroll horizontally on narrow viewports; a card layout is being rolled out progressively.
  • Interactive charts in Market Intelligence expose their underlying figures in text, but full keyboard exploration of chart points is still in progress.
  • Documents uploaded by suppliers (certificates, specifications) are third-party files and may not be tagged for screen readers.

Feedback and enforcement

If any part of Gloseg blocks you, email us with the page URL, the device and assistive technology you use, and what happened. We acknowledge accessibility reports within two business days and give you a fix or a workaround with a target date.
