Challenge Pakistan is committed to making challenge.pk usable by as many people as possible — including students, professionals and visitors with disabilities or who use assistive technology.

1. Our approach

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as our benchmark. Where we cannot yet meet a criterion, we document it in this statement and work to fix it.

2. What we've implemented

• Semantic HTML — headings, landmarks, lists and form labels are used correctly.
• Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements (links, buttons, forms, menus) are reachable by keyboard.
• Visible focus — focus indicators are styled so you can see where you are on the page.
• Colour contrast — text and interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast ratios against their backgrounds.
• Alt text — meaningful images have descriptive alternative text; decorative elements are hidden from screen readers.
• Form labels — every input has an associated label, and errors are described in plain language.
• Language declaration — the page language is set so screen readers pronounce English correctly; the single Urdu phrase on the site is explicitly marked with language attributes.
• Mobile-first layout — pages reflow to narrow screens without horizontal scrolling.
• Reduced motion — we avoid large animations; transitions are short and subtle.
• WhatsApp alternative — every form and inquiry can be completed via WhatsApp or in person, so no task depends solely on the web form.

3. Known limitations

• Embedded maps — the Google Maps link on our contact page is provided as a text link that opens in a new tab, so the address is fully readable without interacting with a map widget.
• PDF documents — if we share course notes as PDFs in future, we aim to provide accessible HTML versions on request.
• Third-party tools — WhatsApp and Google Maps are external services whose accessibility is controlled by those providers.
• Urdu text — one short phrase on the About page uses a decorative script font. It is marked with lang="ur" and rendered with a widely available Urdu font, but screen reader pronunciation may vary depending on the browser.

4. Physical accessibility

Classes are held at Bilal Center, 1st Floor, Main Babar Chowk, Near Care Pharmacy, Faisalabad. If you have specific access needs (for example, wheelchair access, a quiet space during breaks, or extended time on exercises), please let us know in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you.

5. Reporting an accessibility barrier

If you find something on challenge.pk that you cannot use, or if a part of our site or course experience excludes you, please tell us. Include the page URL, what you were trying to do, and any assistive technology you were using.

• Email: hello@challenge.pk
• WhatsApp: contact page

We aim to respond within 5 business days.

6. Review cycle

We review this statement at least once a year and whenever we make significant changes to the site. The "Last reviewed" date at the top reflects the most recent review.
