Accessibility Statement

Conformance Status

JobMelo (jobmelo.com) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We strive to conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as mandated by the Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (GIGW) 3.0.

Accessibility Features

This website incorporates the following accessibility features to support all users including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities:

• Skip to Main Content: A “Skip to Main Content” link is provided as the first focusable element on every page, allowing keyboard and screen reader users to bypass repetitive navigation.
• Text Resize Controls: An accessibility toolbar at the top of every page provides text size adjustment (A−, A, A+) controls. Text can be resized up to 150% without loss of content or functionality.
• High Contrast Mode: A one-click high contrast toggle is available in the accessibility toolbar, increasing foreground-background contrast for users with low vision.
• Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements (links, buttons, form fields, menus) are fully operable via keyboard. A clearly visible yellow focus indicator highlights the currently focused element.
• Semantic HTML5 Structure: All pages use proper semantic HTML elements (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>, <section>, <article>) and ARIA landmarks to assist screen readers in identifying page regions.
• Logical Heading Hierarchy: Headings follow a sequential order (H1 → H2 → H3) without skipping levels, enabling screen reader users to scan and navigate content efficiently.
• Image Alt Text: All meaningful images include descriptive alternative text. Decorative images use aria-hidden="true" to avoid screen reader confusion.
• Form Labels: Every form input is associated with a visible, descriptive label using the htmlFor attribute or aria-label for icon-only controls.
• Color Contrast: All text and interactive components meet the minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text and UI components, as required by WCAG 2.1 AA.
• Responsive Design: The website is fully responsive across devices (mobile, tablet, desktop) and maintains usability when content is zoomed to 400% without requiring horizontal scrolling.
• Link Accessibility: All external links open in new tabs and include rel="noopener noreferrer" for security. Link text is descriptive and never uses generic “click here” phrasing.

Technologies Used

Accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies to work with the particular combination of web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins installed on your computer:

• HTML5
• CSS3 / Tailwind CSS
• JavaScript (ECMAScript 2024)
• WAI-ARIA 1.2
• Next.js (Server-Side Rendering for improved accessibility)

Known Limitations

While we strive for full conformance, the following areas have known accessibility limitations which we are actively working to resolve:

• Third-party advertisements: Ad content served by Adsterra or Google AdSense is rendered in sandboxed iframes. We cannot control the accessibility of third-party ad creative.
• Externally linked job applications: When users click “Apply Now” to visit an employer’s external application form, the accessibility of that external site is beyond our control.
