ROOTS

Accessibility

Family memory should be reachable.

Roots is designed for phones, keyboards, assistive technology, varied literacy, slower connections, and the many different ways families preserve memory.

How Roots supports access

Roots uses semantic headings, labelled controls, visible keyboard focus, descriptive status messages, generous touch targets, and layouts that reflow across phone and desktop screens.

The interface respects reduced-motion, increased-contrast, reduced-transparency, and forced-colour preferences provided by supported devices and browsers.

Zoom, text and navigation

Core journeys are tested at mobile sizes and at 200% text zoom. You can navigate with a keyboard, skip directly to the main content, close modal panels with Escape, and enlarge browser text without losing core actions.

Language and clarity

Dates may be approximate or descriptive, forms avoid requiring unknown details, and culturally specific names can be entered with Unicode characters. Icons are paired with text or an accessible name when they perform an action.

Our ongoing commitment

Accessibility is an ongoing practice, not a one-time certification. We regularly review contrast, focus order, screen-reader structure, touch comfort, readable type, and the accessibility of family-tree interactions.

Tell us what blocks you

Email support@savvyrilla.tech with the page, device, assistive technology if relevant, and the barrier you encountered. We prioritise issues that prevent someone from preserving or accessing their family history.

Return to your family archive.Roots keeps privacy, consent, and family review visible throughout the experience.
