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](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/) Level AA standards.
High-level overview of the accessibility features of this site:
* Responsive design and mobile-friendly layout
* Semantic HTML, enhanced by Web Accessibility Initiative – Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA)
* Sufficient colour contrast between text and background colours
* Alt text for all non-decorative images, occasionally accompanied with longer image descriptions
* Keyboard navigation-friendly: Every interactive element can be focused and interacted with keyboard buttons, with visible outline when focused
* Logical content and heading flow
* Links to skip to the main content or the top of the page
* No autoplay of videos and audio
This site 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.
I use the following tools to test my site for accessibility:
* WebAIM's [WAVE Browser Extension](https://wave.webaim.org/extension/)
* Acart Communications' [Contrast Checker](https://contrastchecker.com/)
* [NVDA](https://www.nvaccess.org/about-nvda/) screen reader for Windows
* TalkBack screen reader for Android
* VOiceOver screen reader for iOS
* VoiceOver screen reader for iOS
In addition, I test the accessibility of my website manually by navigating with keyboard alone.
