ACCESSIBILITY
Surveys everyone can finish.
Respondents don't choose the survey tool — researchers do. So the respondent surface is held to a higher bar than the rest of the product, and this page is honest about where that bar currently sits.
Keyboard operability
Surveys can be completed with keyboard alone: focusable choice chips, arrow-key scales, Enter to continue, and a skip-to-content link on every page. Conversational mode supports number-key answering (1–9).
Screen reader semantics
Questions are labeled controls, choices are real inputs (not styled divs), progress updates announce politely via live regions, and validation messages are associated with their fields.
No time pressure by default
Surveys never time out on their own, and forced minimum-time locks show a visible countdown. Respondents can move back and revise where the researcher allows it.
Motion & visual comfort
prefers-reduced-motion is honored across the product — animated backgrounds render as still frames and transitions are dropped. Text sizes are set in relative units; the palette maintains contrast on warm paper rather than pure white.
Mobile and zoom
Layouts are mobile-first with tap targets at 40px+ and reflow cleanly at high zoom levels. Inputs use 16px+ fonts so iOS never zoom-jumps.
No third-party scripts on survey pages
Participant-facing pages load no analytics, ads, or trackers — less noise for assistive tech, faster loads on low-end devices.
Honest scope
We target WCAG 2.1 AA on respondent-facing pages but have not yet commissioned an independent audit. The newest visual question types — signature capture and image choice — depend on pointer or visual interaction by nature; where a study must be fully non-visual, we recommend researchers use the text and scale question types, which are fully accessible. If your participant hits a barrier, we treat it as a bug: hello@plumeform.com reaches a person who can fix it, usually within days.
