Accessibility statement
How cronky.net aims to be usable by everyone, and how to report a problem.
I want everyone to be able to use this site. It aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
What you can expect
- Colour contrast that meets AA in both light and dark mode, with a toggle in the header and your system setting respected by default.
- Full keyboard access, a visible focus outline and a "skip to content" link.
- Meaningful alternative text on photos, with decorative images hidden from screen readers.
- A sensible heading structure and labelled navigation landmarks.
- Text that can be resized and pages that work from mobile screens upwards.
- Reduced motion respected: if your system asks for less motion, animations are turned off and the home page photos stop rotating. Otherwise the rotation has a pause button.
- Media players load only when you choose to play them, and slide decks include the text of each slide.
How it is tested
Pages are checked with the axe-core automated accessibility engine against WCAG 2.2 A and AA in both light and dark mode, and reviewed by hand. Automated tools only catch some issues, so feedback from real users is especially welcome.
Known issues
- Some posts in the archive (2007 to 2022) were migrated from an old blog and may have missing image descriptions or broken images.
- Some older posts originally published on LinkedIn lost their images when LinkedIn's image links expired.
- Linked content on other sites, such as podcasts, videos and PDFs, is outside my control.
