About Accessibility
My Goal
I continue to be committed to making this web-site as useful as possible for everyone.
I use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 to improve the accessibility of my pages. There are 3 levels of accessibility: A, AA and AAA.
I work towards being AA compliant. At present I have partially met these criteria and continue to work towards achieving full AA across the site.
I want as many people as possible to be able to use this web-site. For example, that means you should be able to:
- Change colors, contrast levels and fonts via browser or plugin
- Zoom in up to 500% without the text spilling off the screen
- Navigate most of the web-site using just a keyboard
- Navigate most of the web-site using speech recognition software
- Listen to most of the web-site using a screen reader including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver.
How I Test for Accessibility
The web-site was tested with the following:
| Assistive Tools | Browser/OS/Device |
|---|---|
| Jaws | Firefox (latest build) |
| NVDA | Firefox (latest build) |
| ZoomText | Firefox (latest build) |
| VoiceOver | Firefox (latest build) |
| TalkBack for Android | Google Pixel 3 |
