Recognizing how crucial inclusive design is, I am committing to prioritize accessibility across my projects. My goal is to ensure that navigating these pages is a seamless and frictionless experience for all visitors, regardless of the devices or assistive technologies they use to interact with them.
About the Badge
This page has been designed and tested to be accessible. More information ↗
When you see the accessibility badge on a page in this website, it indicates that the specific page has been designed and tested against key web inclusivity standards. Designing and tests include:
- Descriptive Alternative Text: Images and graphics include descriptive hidden text (technically known as the "alt text") to convey their purpose to visually impaired users.
- Screen Reader Optimization: The page structure is fully compatible with assistive technologies, providing logical, expected readouts for users who rely on audio navigation.
- High Contrast and Visual Clarity: Color palettes are carefully selected to meet contrast guidelines. Whenever color is used to convey meaning, supplementary text or visual cues are also provided so no information is lost. The page is also tested under grayscale rendering options internally to better understand the effects of the colors.
- Different Viewing Options: The page supports being viewed correctly in light and dark modes, depending on the browser and operating system settings. Most of the pages (especially the content-heavy ones like blog posts) should also support to be printed correctly.
- Clear Page Structure: Where applicable, the page uses proper HTML marks and heading hierarchies so users can easily jump directly to the content they need. Clean design is something I tend to utilize extensively, since I like offering a clean design for my website to allow focusing on the content itself, rather than the design.
- Dynamic Rendering: Page adjusts the content and the text automatically depending on the size of the device's screen and viewing options like custom (larger or smaller) font sizes. It ensures no content gets disappeared, broken or colliding with the other elements on the page (in reasonable limits).
Please note that while I will do my best to maintain these standards for the pages displaying this badge, I cannot guarantee the same level of accessibility for other external resources or my older pages. External references and other websites may not adhere to these guidelines.
