Building an Accessible Experience for Everyone
How we approach inclusive design at ResumeFab, which environments work best, and how to get a seamless experience when using assistive technology, keyboard navigation, or browser zoom.
Our commitment
ResumeFab is built so more people can prepare strong applications—including users who rely on assistive technologies, keyboard-only navigation, or browser zoom.
We align our product work with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA as our target, and we apply common industry practices for semantic HTML, focus management, labels, and color contrast across marketing pages and core app flows.
Accessibility is ongoing: as we ship new features, we aim to preserve usable structure, predictable navigation, and clear feedback for everyone.
Browsers we support
For the best experience, use an up-to-date version of a major browser. We develop and test against recent releases of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
Keeping your browser updated helps with security, performance, and accessibility APIs used by assistive technologies.
If something behaves differently between browsers, try Chrome or Edge first for Windows screen reader combinations, or Safari for VoiceOver on macOS and iOS.
Screen readers and browser combinations
Assistive technology works best when the browser, screen reader, and operating system are all reasonably current. Common pairings users rely on include: NVDA with Firefox or Chrome on Windows; JAWS with Chrome or Edge on Windows; VoiceOver with Safari on macOS, iPadOS, and iOS.
We do not guarantee identical behavior in every combination, but we design for standards-based markup and keyboard access so these stacks can interpret pages predictably.
If you use a different AT stack and hit a barrier, email us—your report helps us prioritize fixes.
Getting the most out of ResumeFab
Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move between interactive controls, and Enter or Space to activate buttons and follow links. Form fields and primary actions are designed to be reachable without a mouse.
Use visible focus: browser focus rings show which element is active. If focus seems lost, try Tab again or scroll the page slightly—some panels are long on small screens.
Increase text size or zoom the page in your browser settings; layouts should reflow without forcing horizontal scrolling for moderate zoom levels.
Use headings and landmarks to skim: marketing pages use logical heading order; in the app, follow the flow from profile and job inputs to review and export.
Resume preview and a dedicated view
When you open resume preview, ResumeFab loads a focused experience for reviewing your document—often in a full view or separate step so you can check formatting before download or sharing.
Screen reader users may hear a new region or page title when preview opens; use your screen reader’s navigation commands (e.g., headings, landmarks, or virtual cursor) to explore the preview content from top to bottom.
Returning to editing typically uses an in-app back control or navigation that returns you to the previous step. If focus does not move where you expect, try one Tab press or use your screen reader’s “move to main content” shortcut.
Where we are still improving
Complex canvases, third-party embeds, or rapidly changing AI output may occasionally introduce gaps. We treat these as bugs to triage and fix.
Exported PDFs and Word files are meant for recruiters and ATS systems; they may not carry the same accessibility metadata as the live web app. If you need an alternate format, contact support and we will help where we can.
Tell us about barriers
If you cannot complete a task, lose focus unexpectedly, or hit confusing announcements in a screen reader, contact us at support@resumefab.com. Include your browser, screen reader (if any), and the page you were on—we will use it to improve ResumeFab for everyone.
