Our Commitment to Accessibility
KindnessRX.org is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to access information and resources that promote kindness and well-being, and we are continually improving the user experience for everyone by applying relevant accessibility standards.
Inclusivity is a core value of our mission, and this extends to ensuring our website is usable by the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability.
Conformance Status
We aim for KindnessRX.org to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 level AA. WCAG defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for all people.
We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website. While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website, particularly with content aggregated from or linked to third-party sites (like GoBrunch).
Measures Taken to Support Accessibility
KindnessRX.org takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:
- Theme Choice: We utilize themes (like Kadence WP) known for their commitment to accessibility standards.
- Semantic Structure: We use proper heading structures (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to organize content logically.
- Text Alternatives: We aim to provide alternative text (alt text) for meaningful images on the site.
- Keyboard Navigation: We strive to ensure that website functionality is navigable using a keyboard alone.
- Color Contrast: We aim to maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background elements to meet WCAG AA standards.
- Resizable Text: Users should be able to resize text using standard browser controls without loss of content or functionality.
- Ongoing Review: We periodically review our site for accessibility issues and make improvements as needed.
Known Limitations & Future Improvements
Despite our best efforts, there may be some limitations. We are aware that:
- Content provided by third parties or embedded from external sites (e.g., videos, community platforms like GoBrunch) may not fully conform to our accessibility standards, as we do not control their development.
- Some older content or archived blog posts may not yet fully meet current standards; we are working to update these over time.
We are committed to continuous improvement and welcome feedback on how we can enhance accessibility.
