Eight Degrees Up
Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: May 1, 2026

Last Updated: May 1, 2026

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Eight Degrees Up Consulting is committed to ensuring that our website at www.8degreesup.com is accessible to all visitors, including people with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and resources, and we work continuously to improve the accessibility of our digital presence. This commitment is consistent with our core belief that learning is a human endeavor — one that should be available to every person, in every context, regardless of ability.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities. Our website is built on the Wix platform, which is designed with accessibility features built in. We work within these platform capabilities to implement accessible design practices across our content.

Current Accessibility Features

We have implemented or are working toward the following accessibility features on our Site:

Visual

Text maintains sufficient color contrast ratios against background colors
Font sizes are set to be readable and scale with browser text size settings
The site does not rely on color alone to convey information
Images include descriptive alternative text where content-relevant

Navigation

Pages have clear and consistent navigation structure
Links are descriptive and indicate their destination or purpose
The site can be navigated using a keyboard
Page titles accurately describe the content of each page

Content

Content is written in clear, plain language
Headings are used to organize content in a logical hierarchy
Forms include clear labels and instructions
Error messages provide clear guidance on how to correct submissions

Known Limitations

While we strive to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, we recognize that some areas of our Site may not yet fully meet these guidelines.

Known limitations include:

Some older embedded content, images, or third-party tools may not yet have complete accessibility support
PDF documents linked from our Site may not be fully optimized for screen readers
Some video content may not yet include closed captions or transcripts

We are actively working to address these limitations and prioritize improvements that affect the greatest number of users. If you encounter a specific barrier, please contact us and we will prioritize a resolution.

Third Party Content and Tools

Our Site uses third-party tools and platforms including Wix (website hosting), Google Analytics (website analytics), and Calendly (appointment scheduling). While we select partners who prioritize accessibility, we cannot fully control the accessibility of third-party content or interfaces.

If you experience difficulty using any third-party tool embedded in our Site, please contact us and we will work to provide an accessible alternative method of completing your task.
