Accessibility

Halcyra's customers include older adults and people managing illness or disability. Accessibility is a brand promise, not a checklist.

Standards

• Target WCAG 2.2 AA across app, web and email.
• Text contrast at least 4.5:1 (3:1 for 24px+ text, icons and control borders). All approved pairs are listed in Visual identity.
• Touch targets at least 44 × 44 px.

Colour and status

• Status is never colour alone: every pill pairs colour with a word ("Landed", "Paused").
• dusk is never used for text on light grounds.

Type and reading

• Body text at least 16px; respect system text-size settings up to 200%.
• Plain language, about grade-7 reading level for service copy.
• No text in images except logos.

Motion and sound

• Honour reduced-motion settings: replace Glide and Settle with fades.
• The landing chime always comes with a visual and a haptic signal; sound is never the only cue.

Media

• Captions on all video with speech; audio descriptions for brand films.
• Alt text describes what matters: "A small teal Halcyra drone lowers a white bag onto an orange Landing Spot in a backyard."

Assistive tech

• Every control labelled for screen readers; tracker updates announced politely ("Landing in about 2 minutes").
• Ordering also works by phone with a person, for anyone who prefers it.
