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. Therefore, I strive to design this website to be accessible, including to disabled and neurodivergent people.
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. Therefore, I strive to design this website to be accessible, including to disabled and neurodivergent people, by aiming to meet [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standards](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/).
Currently, this site includes the following accessibility features:
* Fully responsive and mobile-friendly layout
* Semantic HTML
* Alt text for all non-decorative images
* No autoplaying music or video
* No animated images
* Proper colour contrast for backgrounds, text, and links
* Makes font sizes scalable by use relative units such as rem/em instead of absolute units such as px
* Site is functional up to 200% text zoom
* Allows reader mode to be enabled for articles and blog posts
* Visible outline when an interactive element is focused
* Uses the [Lexend](https://www.lexend.com/) font family as the default font and [Intel One Mono](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/company-overview/one-monospace-font.html) as the monospace font to improve text readability
