This is not an accessibility statement. Jess follows practices beyond standards for and with her community. Providing access is an act of love. This website was made with that belief. Read more on Access is Love by Disability Visibility, Mia Mingus and Sandy Ho.
Jessica Oddi built this website using WebFlow. The custom design follows WCAG [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines] and compliancies as a base. The site uses HTML structure, with CSS [Cascading Style Sheets] and minimal JS [JavaScript]. Features learned from the disabled community were included. Such as image descriptions, crediting sources, spacious layouts and simple styling.
Jessica personally tested this site across main web browsers and devices. Including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and Edge. Desktop operating systems were macOS Monterey and Windows 11. Mobile devices were the Samsung Galaxy S20 Pro, Google Pixel, iPhone 7 and iPad mini 2. As well as an automated audit with 0 errors and 0 alerts on the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool.
The website was navigated using keyboard-only and assistive tech. Including Apple VoiceOver and Voice Control [on desktop], Microsoft Narrator, Android TalkBack and Voice Access [on mobile]. Jessica also tested zoom, inverted and colour filters for scaling and visual checks. As well as readability using Hemingway Editor.
Disabled users are, and will always be, the priority. Community feedback is crucial for accessible websites. Jessica gathered user tests from a selection of paid volunteers. And thanks them for their contribution! This website was navigated by:
October 2022: Changed the Archives page, to have clearer navigation for post links. It now uses the H2 titles as the link to that post for quicker references.
September 2022: Removed external database links in the Site Map page to avoid unhelpful navigation. All pages listed there are now internal. Search results still show database entries with external links [which make up the resources and perspective pages].
August 2022: Added offset outlines to link and button focus states for clearer keyboard navigation.
Zoom Text: Horizontal scrolling needed when using the full zoom window setting. For better results, the developer recommends using browser settings to increase text size first. That way the window resizes properly. Then use Zoom Text for further magnification and accessibility features.
Jessica knows accessibility is a commitment that must adapt over time. It involves going above compliance to serve the disabled community. With that in mind, she is always searching for contributors. To reflect more assistive tech and accessibility perspectives.
