Update intro text of accessibility statement
2024-06-23 01:28:12 +00:00
Even though this website is primarily meant to be my own space of self-expression, I also want every visitor to my website to have the best possible experience of browsing my website. Accessibility is also relevant to me as a disabled and neurodivergent person.
Therefore, I strive to design my website to be accessible, including to fellow disabled and neurodivergent people, by aiming to meet [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/) Level AA standards.

## Known Issues
The tooltips for some site buttons displayed on this site cannot be dismissed with a keypress, which is required to meet [WCAG success criterion for 1.4.13: Content on Hover or Focus (Level AA)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/content-on-hover-or-focus.html).
## Feedback
Feedback from disabled and neurodivergent people are welcome. You can [contact me via email](mailto:{{sitemeta.siteAuthor.email}}) for feedbacks and suggestions for improving the accessibility of this site.
