Accessibility Statement

My commitment to inclusive design and digital accessibility

Accessibility Commitment

As a UX designer and accessibility advocate, I am committed to ensuring that this website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. I believe that inclusive design is not just a legal requirement but a fundamental aspect of good user experience design.

Conformance Standards

This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines are developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and represent the international standard for web accessibility.

Perceivable

Information and interface components are presentable to users in ways they can perceive.

Operable

Interface components and navigation are operable by all users.

Understandable

Information and interface operation are understandable.

Robust

Content is robust enough to be interpreted by assistive technologies.

Accessibility Features

This website includes the following accessibility features:

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements can be accessed and operated using keyboard navigation. Focus indicators are visible to help users track their location on the page.

Screen Reader Compatibility

The website is designed to work with screen readers. Proper heading hierarchy, ARIA labels, and semantic HTML are used throughout.

Color Contrast

Text and interactive elements maintain sufficient color contrast ratios to ensure readability for users with visual impairments.

Alternative Text

Images include descriptive alternative text to convey information to users who cannot see them.

Additional Accessibility Measures

  • Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes and orientations
  • Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality
  • No content flashes more than three times per second
  • Skip links for bypassing repeated content
  • Consistent navigation and labeling throughout the site
  • Form inputs have associated labels and error messages

Known Limitations

While I strive to ensure full accessibility, some areas may still present challenges:

  • Some older case study images may have limited alternative text descriptions
  • Third-party embedded content may not fully conform to WCAG guidelines
  • PDF documents may not be fully accessible; contact me for alternative formats

Continuous Improvement

I am committed to continuously improving the accessibility of this website. I regularly review and test the site using automated tools, manual testing, and assistive technologies to identify and address accessibility barriers.
