Accessibility at netMethods.
We want this site to work for everyone. Our target is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.
// what we've built in
Text-based content throughout with semantic structure and high-contrast colors. Full keyboard navigability, with a "skip to content" link and consistent landmark regions (banner, navigation, main, contentinfo) so keyboard and screen-reader users can move quickly. Interactive controls meet minimum touch-target sizing. Forms are labeled and announce their status to assistive technology. If your device or browser is set to reduce motion, all animation — including the typing effect this site is known for — is disabled and content renders instantly. Screen readers receive complete page text immediately, independent of the visual typing animation.
// the pulse page
Our pulse page is built around a graphical, canvas-drawn map of the infrastructure we monitor. The map itself is visual by nature, but everything it shows is available as text: the operator console on that page reports the same data as typed output, works entirely from the keyboard, and announces each completed line through a screen-reader live region. The map supports keyboard navigation — Tab cycles clusters, Enter inspects, Escape closes — and under reduced motion the console's simulations run as plain text with no animation or camera movement.
// known limitations
This site uses decorative motion (background texture and a typewriter effect) as part of its design. We've worked to keep it from interfering with assistive technology, and the reduced-motion setting removes it entirely.
// tell us if something isn't working
If you have difficulty using any part of this site, we'll fix it or get you the information another way. Email info@netmethods.com or call 949.309.2941.
