Accessible for everyone

We believe everyone deserves access to events. That's why WCAG AA accessibility is not an afterthought but a core value of MijnEvent.

What we do

Every screen, every button and every form meets the WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines.

Keyboard navigation

The entire checkout process is operable with just a keyboard. Logical tab order, visible focus indicators and skip links on every page.

Color contrast

All text meets a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio. UI elements and focus indicators meet at least 3:1. Tested with multiple tools.

Screen reader support

Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, live regions for error messages and status updates. Tested with NVDA, VoiceOver and JAWS.

Form labels

Every input field has a visible label, descriptive error messages and hint text. Never just a placeholder as a label.

Touch targets

All clickable elements are at least 44x44 pixels. Extra large in the check-in app for field use.

Error handling

Errors appear inline next to the field with clear explanations. Focus automatically moves to the first error field on submission.
