Last updated: July 21, 2025

I am committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. I continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards

Accessibility Features

This website includes the following accessibility features:

Ally by Elementor Widget

An accessibility toolbar allowing users to customise their experience, including:

  • Text size adjustment
  • Contrast modes
  • Font changes for readability
  • Highlighting links
  • Screen reader optimisation
  • Keyboard navigation enhancement

 

Standard Features
  • Alternative text for images
  • Structured headings for screen readers
  • Descriptive link text
  • Sufficient colour contrast
  • Keyboard-accessible navigation
  • Mobile-responsive design

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. https://www.knoronha.org is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Ongoing Efforts
  • Regular accessibility audits
  • Adding alternative text to all images
  • Converting documents to accessible formats
  • Testing with screen readers and keyboard navigation

Limitations

Despite my best efforts to ensure accessibility of the website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations and potential solutions. 

Gallery: Uploaded images may not have text alternatives. This may be because that particular page or post in the Gallery has pictures that are purely for display and not immediately amenable to a description.

Fieldwork photography: Some ethnographic images may lack detailed descriptions to protect participant privacy.

Third-party Content: Embedded content (videos, maps) may not meet accessibility standards.
