Accessibility

Commitment

I want this site to work for everyone, including people who use a keyboard, a screen reader, or assistive settings. I aim for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as the standard for this site and treat accessibility as something I keep improving, not a box I check once.

What is in place today

• A "Skip to main content" link as the first focusable item on every page.
• Semantic HTML with real headings, lists, and landmarks so screen readers can navigate by structure.
• Visible keyboard focus outlines on links, buttons, and form fields.
• Body text and interactive elements chosen to meet WCAG AA contrast on this dark color scheme.
• Support for prefers-reduced-motion: when you turn off animation at the operating-system level, this site drops its motion, including the smooth-scroll and the decorative cursor.
• Descriptive labels on form controls, icon-only buttons, and embedded players.
• A language set on the page (lang="en") so screen readers use the right pronunciation.

Known limits

This is a small personal site, not a fully audited enterprise platform, so some gaps are likely. Embedded third-party content (YouTube and Spotify players on the Music page) follows those companies' own accessibility, which I do not control. The site has not been through a formal third-party accessibility audit.

Tell me about a barrier

If something on this site does not work for you, I want to fix it. Email [email protected] and tell me which page, what device or assistive technology you were using, and what was hard. I will reply within 30 days and do my best to put it right, and I will work with you to get you the information you needed in another form in the meantime.
