Accessibility Statement
The Punctuation Guide is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
Conformance Status
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.
Accessibility Features
This website includes the following accessibility features:
- Keyboard navigation: All functionality is available using a keyboard. Use the Tab key to navigate through interactive elements.
- Skip navigation: A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page to allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation.
- Semantic HTML: We use proper HTML elements (headings, lists, navigation landmarks) to convey document structure to assistive technologies.
- ARIA labels: Navigation regions are labeled to help screen reader users understand page structure.
- Focus indicators: Visible focus indicators are provided for keyboard navigation.
- Color contrast: Text and interactive elements meet WCAG AA contrast requirements (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text).
- Dark mode: The site respects your system's color scheme preference for reduced eye strain.
- Reduced motion: Animations are minimized when your system indicates a preference for reduced motion.
- Responsive design: Content adapts to different screen sizes and can be zoomed up to 200% without loss of functionality.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some limitations may exist:
- The dropdown menu in the navigation bar relies on hover/focus states and may not announce its expanded state to screen readers in all circumstances.
- Some older pages may contain images without full alternative text descriptions.
We are actively working to address these limitations.
