Accessibility Statement for Emily Barrett Portfolio
Effective Date: May 13, 2026

At Emily Barrett Portfolio, accessibility is a core part of our design and development process. We are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities, and strive to provide an inclusive digital experience for every visitor.

Our Commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards and follow best practices outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Accessibility considerations are integrated throughout the planning, design, development, and testing phases of this website.

Accessibility Features

This website includes, but is not limited to, the following accessibility features:

  • Semantic HTML structure for improved screen reader compatibility

  • Keyboard navigability across interactive elements

  • Sufficient color contrast ratios for readability

  • Responsive layouts optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices

  • Alternative text provided for meaningful images

  • Clear heading hierarchy and logical content organization

  • Focus indicators for keyboard users

  • Accessible forms and interactive components

  • Reduced reliance on motion where appropriate

  • Ongoing testing with modern accessibility tools and standards

Continuous Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We regularly review our website to identify and address accessibility barriers and improve usability for all visitors. As technologies and standards evolve, we are committed to maintaining and improving accessibility across our digital experiences.

Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure accessibility throughout our website, some third-party integrations or embedded content may not fully meet the same accessibility standards. We encourage users to contact us if they encounter any accessibility issues related to third-party services.

Feedback & Assistance

If you experience any difficulty accessing content, using features, or navigating any part of this website, please contact us and we will make every reasonable effort to provide the information or assistance you need.

You can also add a small badge or footer line sitewide like:

“Committed to accessibility and inclusive web design.”

One important note though: saying you are “completely ADA compliant” can create legal risk because accessibility compliance is ongoing and difficult to guarantee absolutely. The safer professional wording is:

  • “Designed with ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards in mind”

  • “Striving to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards”

  • “Committed to accessible and inclusive web experiences”

That wording is what most professional agencies and developers use.
