Our Commitment to Web Accessibility

I am committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

I follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as my guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As I add new pages and functionality to my website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. I continually test content and features for WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure I meet or exceed the standards. Testing of my website is performed by using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility Features On Our Website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

  • Site language is set
  • A skip link as the first focusable item on the page
  • Proper heading hierarchy across all pages
  • A dark version for better readability for those who prefer it
  • Alt text for all relevant images
  • Visible outline around focused interactive elements
  • Semantic form field labels
