View as Markdown

Blekline targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA for the control plane web app and hosted documentation at app.blekline.com/docs.

Scope

SurfaceStandardNotes
Public docsWCAG 2.2 AAMarkdown docs, navigation, search
Auth & choose-pathWCAG 2.2 AASignup, plan selection, OAuth
Authenticated dashboardWCAG 2.2 AAFour deployment shells (local, hosted, fleet, in-VPC)
Browser extensionBest effortFollows host IDE accessibility; not a standalone web app

Engineering practices

  • Semantic headings and landmarks on dashboard shells
  • Keyboard-operable command palette and primary CTAs
  • aria-live on async status (enforcement, posture sync)
  • Automated axe checks in CI on public shell routes (choose-path, plans, deploy guides)
  • Muted text uses #8a8a8a minimum on #000000 for 4.5:1 body contrast

Procurement questionnaire (short answer)

Blekline’s SaaS control plane and public documentation target WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We run automated accessibility regression tests on critical user paths and remediate serious/critical violations before release. Client-side IDE integrations inherit host accessibility where applicable; cluster-sidecar components are API/CLI-first. Contact enterprise@blekline.com for VPAT or audit evidence under NDA.

Known limits

  • Third-party OAuth provider pages (Google, GitHub, LinkedIn) are outside Blekline’s control
  • Some data visualizations (usage heatmap) use color plus numeric labels; full non-color-only charts are on the roadmap
  • VS Code / Cursor native UI is governed by the IDE vendor
