Our Commitment
AURVENTO LLC is committed to making aurvento.com and the Avento: Food Scanner app accessible to everyone, including people with visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, or other disabilities.
We believe accessibility is a fundamental right, not a compliance checkbox. We work continuously to improve the user experience for all visitors and apply relevant accessibility standards where technically feasible.
Standards We Target
This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines define four core principles — content must be:
Perceivable
Information and UI components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive — text alternatives, captions, adaptable layouts.
Operable
UI components and navigation must be operable via keyboard, sufficient time, no seizure-inducing content.
Understandable
Information and UI operation must be understandable — readable text, predictable behavior, input assistance.
Robust
Content must be robust enough to be interpreted by current and future user agents, including assistive technologies.
Conformance Status
aurvento.com is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. "Partially conformant" means some parts of the content do not yet fully meet the standard. We are actively working to address the gaps listed below.
Avento (iOS app) is designed to respect iOS system accessibility settings — including Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion — and targets Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for accessible mobile applications.
Technical Specifications
Accessibility on aurvento.com relies on the following technologies:
- · HTML5 (semantic elements:
<header>,<main>,<nav>,<footer>,<address>) - · CSS3 (Tailwind CSS) with responsive layout
- · JavaScript (progressive enhancement only; core content accessible without JS)
- · WAI-ARIA roles, states, and properties on interactive components
Known Limitations
The following accessibility issues are known. We list them openly because we believe transparency helps users plan their experience. We are working to resolve these in upcoming updates.
Contact Form — Missing Visible Labels
The contact form fields use placeholder text instead of persistent visible labels. This can be
challenging for users of screen readers or those with cognitive disabilities.
Workaround: Each field has a descriptive placeholder
and name attribute readable by assistive technologies.
Explicit <label> elements will be added in the next site update.
Animated Background — Cannot Be Paused
The hero section contains decorative animated gradient orbs that run continuously and cannot be paused or hidden via on-page controls. Workaround: Enabling Reduce Motion in your operating system settings (iOS: Settings → Accessibility → Motion; macOS: System Settings → Accessibility → Display) may suppress these animations in supported browsers.
Skip Navigation — Partial Coverage
A "Skip to main content" link is present on this page and the Terms page, but not yet on all pages of the site (including index.html and avento.html). This will be added site-wide in the next release. Workaround: Keyboard users can navigate directly to the main content using the heading structure and landmark roles already present on each page.
Decorative SVG Icons
Some SVG icons used for visual decoration lack explicit aria-hidden="true"
attributes, which may cause screen readers to announce them unnecessarily.
Interactive icons (buttons, links) already carry descriptive aria-label
attributes. A full icon audit is planned.
Third-Party Content
Certain features on this website are provided by third parties, including the Apple App Store badge and embed, Google Fonts, and AOS animation library. We cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content or services. We encourage third-party providers to meet WCAG standards and report concerns directly to them where possible.

Assessment Approach
AURVENTO LLC assessed the accessibility of this website through:
- · Self-evaluation using manual keyboard and screen reader testing
- · Review against the WCAG 2.1 Level AA success criteria checklist
- · Automated tooling for color contrast and HTML validation
We plan to commission an independent third-party accessibility audit as the product scales. Until then, we rely on user feedback and our own review process to identify and resolve issues.
