Spongle should work for everyone.
We want every brand and creator to be able to use Spongle, whatever device, browser, or assistive technology they rely on.
This statement sets out the standard we work to, what we've done, what we know still needs work, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.
Last reviewed: 30 September 2026.
The standard we work to
WCAG 2.1 level AA, the benchmark referenced across the UK and EU.
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. That's the standard referenced by the UK Equality Act and the European Accessibility Act, and it's the bar we hold new work to.
The public Spongle website partially conforms today. "Partially conforms" means most of the site meets the standard, but some parts, listed below, don't yet. We're a small, self-funded team and we'd rather be straight with you about that than claim a clean bill of health we haven't earned.
What's in place
- You can zoom and resize text without the layout breaking or controls disappearing.
- The site is built from semantic HTML, so screen readers can announce headings, links, and buttons.
- The sign-up form can be filled in and sent using only a keyboard, and we test that automatically.
- Animations respect your system "reduce motion" setting. Turn it on and the movement stops.
- Once you've signed in, you can switch between light and dark in Settings, under Accessibility.
What we know needs work
From our own checks, most recently an automated scan of our public pages on 30 September 2026. We'd rather list these than hide them.
- Parts of the signed-in app are still being checked against the full standard. Where a payment step is handled by our payment provider, its fields follow their own accessibility behaviour.
- We haven't yet checked every page and form with a keyboard alone. Sign-up is tested; the rest is next.
- Our iPhone and Android apps are still being checked against the same standard.
- The public pages don't have their own light or dark switch yet.
We're working through these. If you hit something that isn't on this list, please tell us. It helps us prioritise.
Tell us when something blocks you
The fastest way to get a barrier fixed is to report it.
If any part of Spongle is hard or impossible to use, email support@spongle.co. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and the browser or assistive technology you were using. We'll get back to you and treat it as something to fix.
We review this statement as we ship accessibility improvements, and at least once a year.
Built to be used by everyone.
Found a barrier, or just want to start a campaign? We'd love to hear from you.
