Everybody should be able to use this.

Every site here is built to be usable with a keyboard, a screen reader, or a phone held at arm’s length by somebody who forgot their glasses. Including this one.

What that means in practice

You can get through it with a keyboard
Tab moves you through every link, button, and form field in a sensible order, and you can always see where you’re because focus is visible.
Text has enough contrast to read
The green on black used here’s well past the required ratio. Anything sitting on a photo gets checked separately, because that’s where contrast usually fails.
Headings are real headings
One H1 per page, then H2 and H3 in order, never skipping. A screen reader user navigates by heading, and a skipped level makes a page harder to move through than it looks.
Every image has a description
Written to say what’s in the picture, not stuffed with search terms. Decorative images are marked as decorative so they’re skipped instead of announced.
Forms have labels attached to fields
Not placeholder text pretending to be a label. Placeholders disappear the moment you start typing, which is exactly when somebody needs to check what field they’re in.
Tap targets are big enough
Buttons and links are sized to be hit with a thumb on a phone, not a mouse pointer on a desktop.
It works without a fast connection
The pages load in under a second and the content doesn’t depend on animations finishing or scripts running. If something fails to load, the words are still there.

The standard I aim for

WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We don’t claim full certified conformance, because that claim usually means somebody bought a plugin that puts a little wheelchair icon in the corner and calls it done. Those overlays don’t work, and in several cases they have made sites worse for the people they claim to help.

What we do instead is build it correctly in the first place: real headings, real buttons, real labels, enough contrast, and a keyboard path through everything. That gets you most of the way there and it doesn’t break when somebody uses a tool I didn’t anticipate.

If something here doesn’t work for you, tell me

We would genuinely rather hear it than not. Call, text, or email and describe what happened and what you were using. We’ll fix it and tell you when it’s done. There’s no form and no ticket number — it comes straight to the owner.

If you need the information on any page here in another format — read to you over the phone, sent as plain text, whatever works — just ask.
