Accessibility Statement

Introduction

I’m committed to accessibility. This website should work for everyone. Simple as that.

This statement includes a description of my current, and future efforts in accessibility, contact information, and current conformance status, and known issues and workarounds for those issues.

Contact Information

If you need assistance with this site, the best ways to reach me are either via email or via twitter.

Accessibility Background

I’ve been working in the field of web accessibility since 1995. I’m an expert accessibility consultant who provides accessibility training and consults with small and large companies. This site, apart from the exceptions listed below, should be working just fine and conform to WCAG 2.1 AA (as of January 2022)

Current Conformance Status

The site is being developped in January 2022 to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. All areas of the site will conform with this accessibility standard. There is still development work being done as of January 24, 2022, and some elements may still need refinement!

Exception

  • All embeded feature of the Tik Tok videos, including:
    • Lack of visible focus
    • Button labels
    • Opening links in new windows without warning
    • iframe without title
    • Horizontal scroll forced on some resized views
    • Video captions only visible through the Tik Tok app itself

Workaround

The content of the video can be accessed through the Transcript section on each page. While this is far from ideal, it is currently the only option until Tik Tok (who has been contacted about these issues) remediates them.

Feedback

I welcome your feedback on the accessibility of this site. Please let me know if you encounter accessibility barriers on this site.
