Accessibility statement
I want everyone to be able to use this site and the software I build, including people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, captions, or other assistive technology. Accessibility is treated as part of building things well, not a box ticked at the end.
The standard I target
AIwhirks.com aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. That is the benchmark most widely referenced by accessibility law, and the one I build and review against.
What that looks like in practice
- Semantic HTML structure with a logical heading order and landmark regions.
- Text alternatives on meaningful images, and decorative images hidden from assistive technology.
- A visible "skip to main content" link and full keyboard navigation.
- Forms with associated labels and clear error messaging.
- Responsive layouts that reflow cleanly down to small screens and up to large text sizes.
- Respect for reduced-motion preferences on animated elements.
Known limitations
I test regularly with automated tools and manual checks, and I am honest about where the site is not perfect yet. Current items on the list:
- A few brand-colored labels and badges do not yet meet the AA color-contrast ratio on all backgrounds. This is being reviewed and adjusted.
- Some embedded third-party content (for example demo sites and images served from other providers) is outside my direct control, though I choose sources with accessibility in mind.
If you hit a barrier that is not listed here, I would genuinely like to know so I can fix it.
Reporting a problem
If any part of this site is hard to use with assistive technology, or you need information in a different format, email me and I will respond personally, usually within one business day.
Please include the page address, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology or browser you were using. That context helps me reproduce and fix the issue quickly.
Ongoing work
Accessibility is not a one-time project. I re-check the site as it changes, fold fixes into regular updates, and apply the same standard to the custom software I build for clients.
