Accessibility
Last updated: August 6, 2026
Websites should work for everyone — including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, or larger text. I build with that in mind, on this site and on every site I build for a client.
What I do on every build
- Text and background colors tested for contrast (WCAG 2.1 AA — 4.5:1 for body text)
- Every image given descriptive alternative text
- Every form field properly labeled
- Full keyboard navigation with a visible focus indicator
- Proper heading structure so screen readers can navigate the page
- A "skip to content" link
- Respect for reduced-motion settings
- Text that scales when you zoom, and layouts that work on any screen size
Why it matters for your business
Beyond it being the right thing to do: accessibility lawsuits against small business websites are common in the United States, and restaurants and retail shops are frequent targets. A site built accessibly from the start is both fairer and safer. I don't charge extra for it — it's just how I build.
Honest limitation: No website is perfectly accessible, and I'm one person, not a certified accessibility auditor. If your business needs a formal WCAG audit or legal certification, hire a specialist — I'll happily work alongside them.
