Last updated: 8 November 2026
Spatial Nexus (Pvt) Ltd is committed to making spatialnexus.org usable by as many people as possible, whatever device, browser or assistive technology they use. This statement explains the standard we work to, what we have done to meet it, the limitations we know about and how to contact us if something does not work for you.
In short
- We design and test this website against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
- You can navigate the whole site with a keyboard, zoom up to 400% and use a screen reader.
- Some maps and satellite images cannot be fully described in text. We can provide the information in another format on request.
- If you find a problem, email info@spatialnexus.org and we will help.
1. Our commitment
Our work is about making spatial information clear and useful, and that includes making it available to people with disabilities. We consider accessibility when we design pages, write content, add images and build forms, and we check new pages before they go live.
2. Conformance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. They have three levels of conformance: A, AA and AAA.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Standard | WCAG 2.2 |
| Target level | AA |
| Status | Partially conformant: most of the website meets the standard, with the exceptions listed in section 5 |
| Last reviewed | November 2026 |
| Scope | All public pages of spatialnexus.org, including services, projects, insights, training, careers and contact pages |
3. What we have done
- Structure: each page has one main heading and a logical heading order, with page landmarks so screen reader users can move between sections.
- Keyboard access: menus, links, buttons, forms, sliders and accordions can be used without a mouse, with a visible focus outline.
- Zoom and resizing: pinch-to-zoom is enabled on mobile, and pages reflow so you can enlarge text without scrolling sideways.
- Colour and contrast: text and interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast ratios, and links within text are underlined rather than shown by colour alone.
- Images: meaningful images, maps and illustrations have text alternatives; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
- Links: repeated links such as "Read more" include hidden text that names their destination, and image-only links have accessible names.
- Forms: every form field has a visible text label, and the form explains in text when something needs to be corrected.
- Tables and code: data tables use header cells, and wide tables and code blocks can be scrolled with a keyboard.
- Performance: pages are optimised to load quickly on slower connections and older devices, which also helps people using assistive technology.
4. Using this website
- Zoom: press Ctrl and + (Windows) or Cmd and + (Mac) to enlarge the page, and Ctrl or Cmd and 0 to reset it.
- Keyboard: press Tab to move forward, Shift and Tab to move back, Enter to follow a link and Space to press a button or open an FAQ answer.
- Screen readers: use your screen reader's heading list (for example the H key in NVDA or JAWS, or the rotor in VoiceOver) to jump between sections.
- Your settings: the website respects text size, colour and contrast settings you choose in your browser or operating system.

5. Known limitations
Despite our efforts, some content is not yet fully accessible. These are the issues we know about and how we work around them:
| Content | Limitation and alternative |
|---|---|
| Maps and satellite images | Maps and imagery are visual by nature, and a short text alternative cannot convey every detail. The surrounding text explains what each map shows. On request we can describe a map in more detail or supply the underlying data as a table. |
| Interactive web maps and dashboards in our projects | Some third-party mapping tools are not fully usable with a keyboard or screen reader. We can provide the key findings in text or tabular form. |
| Documents and files | Older PDFs or files shared as part of project work may not be fully tagged for screen readers. Ask us and we will send an accessible version. |
| Third-party content | Links to external platforms such as LinkedIn, YouTube or WhatsApp take you to sites we do not control, which have their own accessibility standards. |
6. Compatibility
This website is built to work with current versions of major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, on desktop and mobile, and with assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers and voice control software. It is not designed for outdated browsers that no longer receive security updates.
7. Technical specifications
The accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies working with your browser and any assistive technology you use: HTML, CSS, JavaScript and WAI-ARIA. Core content remains readable if JavaScript is unavailable.
8. How we test
We assess the website using a combination of methods:
- automated testing of every public page with the axe-core accessibility engine and Google Lighthouse;
- manual checks of keyboard navigation, focus order and visible focus;
- colour contrast checks of text, buttons and interface elements; and
- review of headings, image text alternatives, link text and form labels.
Our most recent review in November 2026 found no automated accessibility errors across the pages tested. Automated tools cannot detect every barrier, so we also welcome feedback from people who use the site.
9. Alternative formats
If you need information from this website in a different format, such as plain text, large print, an accessible document or a data table describing a map, email info@spatialnexus.org and tell us what you need. We will do our best to provide it.
10. Feedback and contact
We welcome your feedback. If you have difficulty using any part of this website, or think we are not meeting accessibility requirements, please tell us:
- the web address (URL) of the page;
- a description of the problem; and
- the device, browser and any assistive technology you were using.
