Accessibility statement

Last reviewed April 2026

Accessibility is the product, not a checkbox. Our primary audience is players 55 and older, and the design choices on this site are tuned for that audience first. Younger users get all the same benefits.

We aim for WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance, with selected AAA enhancements where they matter most for the 55+ demographic — particularly contrast and text resize.

What we commit to

  • Body text exceeds AAA contrast

    Every body text combination is at least 7:1 contrast against its background — the highest level WCAG defines. Our default ink-on-paper combination is 15.3:1.

  • 19px base body text

    Well above the legal minimum, well above what most software ships. Headings scale up from there.

  • Text-size toggle on every page

    A "A / A+ / A++" toggle in the top right scales every text element on the page. Your choice is remembered when you navigate, and works alongside browser zoom up to 200% with no broken layouts.

  • Touch targets at least 48px

    Every button and link is at least 48 pixels tall and wide — the size of an adult fingertip. Primary call-to-action buttons are 56 pixels.

  • Visible keyboard focus

    A 3-pixel amber outline appears around any element when you Tab to it. Focus is never hidden behind the sticky header thanks to scroll-padding.

  • Skip-to-content link

    Press Tab on any page and the first thing focused is a 'Skip to main content' link that bypasses the header navigation.

  • Semantic landmarks

    Every page uses proper HTML landmarks (header, nav, main, article, footer) so screen readers can jump between regions.

  • Text labels on every button

    No icon-only controls. Every button says what it does in plain words, even on mobile.

  • Help in the same place on every page

    Our support email address is in the trust strip at the top of every page so you never have to dig through menus to find it (WCAG 2.2 'Consistent Help' criterion 3.2.6).

  • Reduced motion respected

    If your operating system is set to 'reduce motion' we turn off all animations and transitions automatically.

What we are still working on

A site is never "done" with accessibility. We do regular automated checks with axe-core and Lighthouse, and we test with real keyboards, real screen readers, and real users from the 55+ audience we built this for. If you find anything that does not work for you, we want to hear about it.

Report a problem

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this site or in the app, please email hello@pickleballcourtscheduler.com with the page URL and a short description. We will respond within one business day and work to fix the issue as quickly as possible.

Standards we follow

  • WCAG 2.2 Level AA — the most current version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines from the W3C.
  • Section 508 — the U.S. federal accessibility standard, which incorporates WCAG.
  • EN 301 549 — the European accessibility standard, also based on WCAG.
