Accessibility statement

The standard

The site is built to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. That is the measure I use when I design, build, and test it.

What was tested, and how

On October 2, 2026, I tested the home page, the two Glad Tidings concept pages (the concept site and its case study), the page-not-found page, this statement, and the privacy policy, on a desktop screen and on a phone:

• An automated scan (axe-core) at many scroll positions, because much of the home page appears as you scroll.
• The browser’s accessibility tree, which is what a screen reader reads.
• Keyboard only: Tab through every link, button, and field, with a visible focus ring.
• Text contrast, measured from the actual pixels where words sit over pictures.
• 200% zoom, a 320-pixel-wide window, and wider text spacing.
• The size and spacing of tap targets.
• The reduced-motion setting and the Pause button.

The problems found that day were fixed the same day: text that fell short of the contrast ratio, keyboard focus landing on cards that had not appeared yet, words squeezed together at 200% zoom, a menu that screen readers could mistake for part of a picture, and moving parts with no way to pause them.

What helps

• Pause. The home page is an illustrated story that moves as you scroll, and a few things move on their own, like Joy waiting outside her bakery, the stars, and a drifting band of logos. Pause buttons in the story’s controls and beside the band of logos stop them, and your choice is remembered on your device. The Glad Tidings case study film has its own Pause.
• Reduced motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, the home page shows as still pictures in order, with every word and button.
• Keyboard. Everything works with Tab, Enter, and Space, in reading order, with a visible focus ring. Space, Page Down, the arrow keys, Home, and End scroll the page.
• Screen readers. Pictures have descriptions, each scene of the story is described in words, form fields have labels, and errors are read out. The videos are silent, so there is nothing to caption.
• Zoom. Text can be enlarged to 200% without anything being cut off, and the layout reflows on narrow screens.

Known limits

• The home page is one long illustrated story, with pictures drawn by the browser as you scroll. The scene descriptions summarize what happens; they don’t describe every detail.
• Links to other websites, such as my clients’ sites, lead to pages I don’t control.
