Accessibility statement

Effective October 1 2025

At UX Bulletin we believe that great user experience is, by definition, inclusive. Every article, feature, and interaction on this site is built to welcome all readers—regardless of ability, technology, or context.

Our accessibility commitments

  • Standards-led design
    We aim to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA across the entire site.

  • Perceivable content

    • Descriptive alt text for all meaningful images and illustrations.

    • Captions and transcripts for embedded audio or video.

    • Sufficient color contrast (4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for large text and UI components).

  • Operable interface

    • Full keyboard navigation, visible focus indicators, and logical tab order.

    • No time-based interactions that can’t be paused or extended.

    • Skip-to-content link on every page.

  • Understandable language

    • Plain, jargon-free copy written to the Chicago Manual of Style.

    • Consistent navigation patterns and headings that follow a clear hierarchy.

  • Robust code

    • Semantic HTML5, ARIA roles only when needed, and continuous validation.

    • Tested with screen-reader software (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) and multiple browsers.

Ongoing improvements

Accessibility is a journey, not a checkbox. We:

  1. Test every new feature with automated tools and manual assistive-technology checks.

  2. Audit quarterly to catch regressions and benchmark against the latest WCAG updates.

Known limitations

Despite our best efforts, you may still encounter:

  • Legacy screenshots that lack detailed alt text.

  • Third-party widgets (e.g., ad networks) whose markup we don’t control.

We’re actively working on alternatives and retrofitting older content where feasible.

Assistive technology tips

  • Screen readers: Use H and Shift + H to hop between headings, or D to move through landmarks.

  • Keyboard users: Press Tab once to reveal the skip link, then Enter to bypass navigation.

  • High-contrast mode: Our palette already meets contrast ratios, but system-level high contrast works seamlessly.

We’re committed to continuous improvement—because accessibility isn’t just a checklist, it’s good UX.
