POWR apps are designed with accessibility best practices in mind to help create a better experience for all users. However, POWR does not currently certify or guarantee full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Accessibility depends not only on the app itself, but also on how it's configured and integrated into your website.

Accessibility Features in POWR Apps
POWR apps are built with a number of accessibility best practices, including:
- Support for keyboard navigation
- Clearly labeled form fields
- Responsive layouts for desktop and mobile devices
- Standard HTML form controls where applicable
- Focus on general usability across modern browsers
These features help improve the accessibility of your website and provide a better experience for visitors using assistive technologies.
What Affects ADA and WCAG Compliance?
While POWR incorporates accessibility best practices, overall compliance depends on your entire website—not just the app itself.
Factors that may affect accessibility include:
- Color contrast between text and backgrounds
- Visible and descriptive field labels
- Heading structure on the page
- Alternative text for images
- Keyboard accessibility of surrounding page elements
- Third-party themes, widgets, or integrations
- Custom CSS or JavaScript
Because these elements are controlled by your website and its configuration, POWR cannot guarantee complete ADA or WCAG compliance for every implementation.
Best Practices for Building Accessible Forms and Apps
If you're working toward ADA or WCAG compliance, we recommend following these best practices when configuring your POWR app:
- Use clear, descriptive labels for every form field.
- Maintain sufficient color contrast between text, buttons, and backgrounds.
- Avoid relying solely on color to communicate information.
- Write descriptive button text such as "Submit Form" instead of "Click Here."
- Test keyboard navigation to ensure users can access every interactive element.
- Verify your website with an accessibility evaluation tool before publishing.
Accessibility is an ongoing process, and regular testing can help identify areas for improvement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is POWR officially ADA compliant?
No. While POWR apps are developed with accessibility best practices in mind, we do not currently certify or guarantee full ADA compliance.

POWR supports many accessibility best practices, but we do not currently certify compliance with a specific version or level of the WCAG standard (such as WCAG 2.1 AA or WCAG 2.2 AA).
Can I make my POWR app more accessible?
Yes. The way you configure your app plays an important role. Using descriptive labels, accessible colors, and clear content can significantly improve the user experience for visitors using assistive technologies.
