We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with visual, hearing, cognitive, and motor impairments.
To help everyone enjoy our articles and reviews, we implement the following:
Semantic HTML: We use clear heading structures (H1, H2, H3) so screen readers can navigate our reviews easily.
Alt Text: We aim to provide descriptive alternative text for images of album art, artists, and live performances.
Keyboard Navigation: The Site is designed to be navigable using only a keyboard.
Contrast & Readability: We prioritise high-contrast text and clean fonts to ensure readability for users with low vision.
While we strive for full accessibility, we are a small independent blog and some limitations may exist:
Third-Party Players: We often embed music from services like Spotify, YouTube, or Soundcloud. We cannot control the accessibility features of these external players.
Legacy Content: Some older posts may lack full "alt text" for images.
User Comments: Content posted by readers in the comments section is outside our direct control.
If you have difficulty accessing a specific review or feature, please let us know.
