Access for people first
Accessibility
ZCS Applied Intelligence aims to make this public website usable by as many people as practical, including visitors who navigate by keyboard, use screen readers, magnify content, require strong contrast, or reduce motion.
Design commitments in this release
- Semantic headings, landmarks, navigation labels, and meaningful link text.
- A visible skip link and keyboard-operable navigation, forms, and cinematic controls.
- High-contrast text, visible focus indicators, responsive layouts, and touch-sized controls.
- Alternative text for meaningful imagery and hidden treatment for decoration.
- An AstraLens sequence that is optional, skippable, caption-led, starts narration only after the visitor explicitly launches it, and responds to reduced-motion preferences.
- Core information that remains readable when JavaScript is unavailable.
Standards direction
The site is engineered toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This is a continuing target, not a claim that every device, browser, assistive technology, or future content change has been independently certified.
Motion and audio
Background motion can be paused. On small screens and when a device requests reduced motion or reduced data, the site substitutes still imagery. AstraLens narration never starts on page load. It begins only after the visitor explicitly launches the sequence, can be muted at any time, and all sequence meaning is also provided in visible captions.
Known limits
The ZCS lens is detailed branded artwork. Supporting page text communicates its business meaning without requiring visitors to read the small lettering inside the image. Older browsers may receive a simpler presentation without animation, blur, or visual effects.
Need another format or found a barrier?
Include the page, the task you were trying to complete, the barrier encountered, and a preferred way to receive the information. Do not include sensitive credentials or regulated information.
Continuous validation
Accessibility is included in the website’s controlled validation and release process. Reported barriers are treated as engineering defects, documented, prioritized, corrected, and verified before release.
