Accessibility Statement

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

We want everyone to be able to use our website, whatever device or assistive technology they use. We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guide and aim for Level AA. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content usable.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We rebuilt this website with accessibility in mind, and we check it using automated tests of every page, color contrast measurements in light and dark mode, keyboard-only navigation, and by using the site in Chrome, Safari and Firefox and on phones. Automated tests can’t catch everything, so we keep looking and fix problems as we find them.

Accessibility Features On Our Website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

• Skip links at the top of our pages let keyboard users jump straight to the main content or the footer.
• A clearly visible outline shows where you are when you navigate by keyboard, in colors chosen to stand out in both light and dark mode.
• We choose our text, link and button colors to meet WCAG AA contrast requirements, including when you hover over them, and we strengthened the contrast of form field borders and checkboxes.
• Our website follows your device’s light or dark setting, and the toggle in the header lets you choose either one. Your choice is remembered as you move between pages.
• If your device is set to reduce motion, our scroll fades and moving animations are turned off and all content stays visible.
• The scrolling screenshots on our How to Succeed Online page pause when you hover over them, and a Pause animation checkbox pauses them by keyboard.
• Our website design is mobile-responsive with appropriately sized tap targets, and pages don’t scroll sideways on a phone.
• Our website declares a language in the header.
• Each page has one main heading, and structural markup indicates sections, headings, lists and buttons, making our content more understandable and “skim-able” by all users, regardless of device.
• Our FAQs and booking popup are built with standard HTML elements, so they work with a keyboard.
• Form fields are associated with labels.
• Links and buttons have names that screen readers can announce, including those that show only an icon.
• Images have alternative text, or are marked as decorative when they add nothing to the content.

Where We’re Improving

In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following area:

• We are reviewing our image descriptions, including photos on our BNI presentation page that still need them.

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at Squeak Media a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
