At The Historical Fiction of Paul Jariabek, I believe everyone should be able to access my content, navigate my website, and engage with my materials in a meaningful way.

To achieve this, I am working toward conforming to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, specifically aiming for Level AA compliance. This level provides a balance between usability and technical feasibility, ensuring my site is accessible to as many people as possible, including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities.

Scope of Accessibility

This statement applies to all content published on The Historical Fiction of Paul Jariabek. My site primarily consists of:

  • Text-based pages
  • Graphic images with descriptive text alternatives
  • Embedded video content hosted externally on YouTube

I strive to ensure that all images include meaningful alternative text descriptions and that all video content includes captions provided via YouTube’s accessibility features.

Standards and Technologies Used

My website is designed with accessibility in mind, utilizing the following technologies and standards:

  • HTML5 and CSS for semantic structure and presentation
  • Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) attributes to enhance accessibility
  • Compatibility with assistive technologies such as screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver)
  • Keyboard-friendly navigation
  • Responsive design to support screen magnification and text resizing up to 200%

Ongoing Improvements

While I have implemented many accessibility best practices, I recognize that some areas may still need improvement.

Some embedded video content relies on third-party platforms (e.g., YouTube) and may have limitations outside my direct control. For example, it may omit providing transcripts or alternative means of accessing multimedia content.

Older content may not yet meet all accessibility standards; I am auditing and updating these materials.

I am committed to continuous improvement via regular reviews, automated testing, and manual evaluations to help ensure that accessibility remains a core part of the material I publish.
