Accessibility statement
Plänli should work for everyone: with a keyboard, a screen reader, voice control, large text or little motion.
Status
We build the website and the app to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA. By our own assessment both largely meet this level. An independent audit and tests with people who use assistive technology every day are still to come. Date of this statement: 15.11.2026.
How we test
- Automatically: with every test run, axe-core checks all main screens of the app and the pages of this website, in light and in dark mode.
- With a keyboard: every flow can be completed without a mouse. Dialogs close with Esc, focus returns to where you came from, and it is never hidden behind a bar.
- Layout: at 320 pixels wide and with text enlarged to 200 percent there is no sideways scrolling. Increased line, word and letter spacing cuts off no text. Controls are at least 44 pixels in size.
- By hand: we check contrast on gradients, reading order and the messages for screen readers by hand.
What you can expect
- Every function is reachable with the keyboard, and a link "Skip to content" opens every page.
- Focus is always visible.
- Colour is never the only signal: states always come with text or an icon, and people appear with their name and initials.
- Motion is sparing and stops when your device asks for reduced motion. A calm page has no running animations.
- Changes in the group, for example when someone joins, are announced to screen readers.
- Signing in needs no password, no puzzle and no typing of codes: a link by email is enough.
- The interface comes in German (Switzerland) and English (Switzerland).
Known limitations
- The map shows the route graphically only. As an alternative, every plan has the list of stops with times and legs as text next to it.
- Names of places and descriptions of events come from open data sources. They are not always written in the language of the page and not always marked as another language.
- Tests with screen readers and voice control by people who rely on them are still to come. We will catch up before the public launch.
