Accessibility

Last updated: November 11, 2026

We want everyone to be able to look up a license, find a contractor and send a request on GroundRoster, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard, voice control, magnification or other assistive technology. Our goal is to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.

What we do

• Every page starts with a "Skip to main content" link, has one main heading, and uses its headings in order, so you can move through it by heading.
• Every form field has a written label, and hints and consent wording are tied to the fields and buttons they describe.
• The item that has keyboard focus always shows a visible outline.
• Text meets the WCAG contrast minimums: at least 4.5 to 1 for regular text and 3 to 1 for large text.
• Buttons, links and form controls meet the WCAG 2.2 minimum target size: each is at least 24 by 24 pixels, or a smaller one has enough clear space around it to be just as easy to hit.
• When a list of results updates without a new page loading, screen readers announce it.
• Decorative icons are hidden from screen readers, and a control shown as an icon has a spoken name.
• A license's standing is always written out, never shown by color alone.
• Motion effects are brief, start only when you hover over or select something, and are turned off when your device asks for reduced motion.

Known limitations

• Listings repeat the wording of state and county licensing records, which can be abbreviated or written in capital letters.
• Two parts of the site come from other companies: the bot check on our forms (Cloudflare Turnstile) and the payment form at checkout (Stripe). We rely on those companies for their accessibility. If either one blocks you, email us and we will take your request by email instead.
• We check pages with a keyboard and with automated tools as we build them, but the site has not had an independent accessibility audit.

Report a barrier

If something on this site is hard or impossible for you to use, email hello@groundroster.com. Tell us the page address and what happened, and the assistive technology you use if you like. A person reads every message and replies by email, and where we can't fix the problem right away, we will get you the information or complete your request another way.
