Accessibility Statement

As is mentioned on my homepage at the time of me writing this, this is my second time making a website. My first coding experience with HTML and CSS, Tumblr blog notwithstanding because that wasn't really my own code, was my professional website that hosts my portfolio for work & school. Its first iteration was unfortunately NOT accessible. After some feedback, I redesigned and re-coded most of the website, reorganizing sections for efficiency's sake as well, and tested it using WebAIM's WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools). While I avoided major issues, giving every image alternative text being one such necessary task to complete, I wasn't perfect. For example, sometimes my alt text was too long. But I learned to mitigate these problems.

Designing this website I've applied my newfound knowledge of accessible websites and made design choices that reflect an attention to color contrast and screen readers. But I have more work to do. And I would love to hear from anyone with suggestions. Thanks for reading my statement on the accessibility of this website. If you're a coder and your website ISN'T accessible, I would suggest you make an effort to ensure it becomes accessible. It's a matter of equity and anti-ableism online. And, as a beginner coder myself, it's not as difficult as you might imagine!

What's been done so far:

• Colors used throughout website pass WCAG AAA contrast check
• All images have alternative text for screen readers
• Structural elements are organized clearly for page navigation with assistive technologies and otherwise
• At the top of pages with content necessitating warnings (e.g. flashing or content warnings) they are provided
• ARIA-labels are given to special elements
• When the window is resized, elements on the page are resized accordingly

What's to be done:

• Make a special mode to disable animation of elements and pause GIFs
• Light mode
