Accessibility

catmothcrow is my hobby website, a place where I can experiment with coding, write blogs, and share my zines and art. Even though this website is just a passion project, it is important to me that my site follows the accessibility standards that commercial websites are held to — making the web as accessible as possible to the widest amount of people is just as important as making sure our physical public spaces are accessible!

Here are some of the ways I have worked to make my site accessible:

• Including “alt” tags on images, so that screen readers can describe images.
• Coding aria-labels into my “Read More” buttons, so that they include descriptive text about what article the “Read More” button links to.
• Using labels such as “role”, “nav”, and “presentation” to distinguish different elements on my website so they can be accurately described by screen readers.
• Using contrasting colors for text and background.
• Ensuring my site can be navigated via keyboard.
• Captioning my video content.

I am proud that an audit conducted by an outside third-party has declared my website WCAG & AODA compliant, and I am always working in good faith to make continued improvements to this website to make it even more accessible.
