We are committed to making cindypeterson.com accessible and usable for everyone. Our goal is to provide a website experience that is inclusive, respects user preferences, and works with a wide range of assistive technologies.

Our Commitment

  • Follow widely accepted standards such as WCAG 2.2 guidelines with a target conformance of Level AA.

  • Continuously improve accessibility as we update content, features, and design.

  • Consider accessibility early in design, content creation, and development.

Measures We Take

  • Semantic HTML for proper structure and screen-reader compatibility.

  • Text alternatives for meaningful images and non-text content.

  • Sufficient color contrast and scalable text (zoom without loss of content or functionality).

  • Keyboard navigable menus, forms, and dialogs.

  • Visible focus indicators and logical tab order.

  • Captions or transcripts for time-based media where provided.

  • Descriptive link text and headings in logical order.

  • Avoidance of content that flashes or may trigger seizures.

  • Clear, consistent navigation and labels.

Compatibility & Supported Technologies

This site aims to be compatible with:

  • Modern browsers (e.g., Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) updated in the last two versions.

  • Desktop and mobile operating systems.

  • Assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech recognition software, and operating system accessibility features.

Some features may not fully function on outdated browsers or unsupported operating systems.

Ongoing Effort

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We routinely review pages, templates, and new content for accessibility issues and remediate where feasible. Third-party integrations (e.g., embedded widgets, video platforms, payment processors) may have their own accessibility constraints, which we monitor and address where possible.
