Oh Curiosity (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to providing a website that is accessible and usable by everyone, regardless of technology or ability. We are continuously working to ensure our digital content meets the latest international accessibility standards for users in the EU, UK, and USA.
1. Our Commitment to Accessibility
We believe that every person should be able to access our website’s information and functionality equally. Our accessibility goal is to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA and align with the principles being developed for WCAG 3.0 (2025–2026), which emphasize inclusive design, readability, and user adaptability.
Our approach includes:
- Designing with accessibility in mind from the earliest stages.
- Testing pages for assistive-technology compatibility (screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control).
- Implementing best practices for color contrast, font legibility, and responsive layouts.
- Ensuring that interactive elements such as forms, buttons, and videos are accessible.
2. Current Accessibility Features
Our Site currently includes:
- Keyboard navigation: All menus, forms, and controls are accessible without a mouse.
- Text alternatives: Descriptive alt text for images and icons.
- Semantic HTML structure: Proper heading order (H1–H6) for screen reader understanding.
- Contrast and color use: Verified against WCAG 2.2 AA ratios.
- Resizable text: Users can adjust font size up to 200 percent without loss of content or functionality.
- Accessible forms: Labeled fields and clear error messaging.
- Video captions: Closed captions or transcripts provided for multimedia where applicable.
- Responsive design: Works across desktop, tablet, and mobile screens.
3. Ongoing Efforts for 2025–2026 Compliance
We are actively reviewing our Site to align with the emerging WCAG 3.0 standards, which introduce graded accessibility outcomes and a stronger focus on cognitive inclusion.
Actions planned for 2025–2026:
- Regular third-party accessibility audits twice per year.
- Continuous monitoring using automated tools (WAVE, Axe, and Lighthouse).
- Staff and contributor training in accessible content creation (alt text, captions, link context).
- Gradual rollout of ARIA landmarks and live-region labels for dynamic content.
- Testing with users who rely on assistive technologies.
4. Conformance Status
As of this date, Oh Curiosity is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partial conformance means some content areas may not yet fully meet every guideline, but we are working to correct these issues through ongoing testing and updates.
We strive to achieve full WCAG 2.2 AA conformance and maintain compatibility with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) 2025 and Section 508 (US) standards.
5. Supported Browsers and Assistive Technologies
Our website has been tested for compatibility with the following:
- Current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox
- VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), NVDA (Windows), and TalkBack (Android) screen readers
- Keyboard-only navigation and speech-to-text tools such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking
We recommend keeping browsers and assistive software up-to-date for the best experience.
6. Known Accessibility Limitations
Despite our best efforts, some content may present accessibility challenges:
- Older blog posts or third-party embeds (e.g., affiliate widgets, ad frames, or video players) may not fully meet accessibility standards.
- PDF or external documents provided by third parties may not be fully accessible.
- Some decorative images may lack meaningful alt descriptions.
If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please contact us using the details below. We will make every reasonable effort to fix the issue promptly or provide the content in an alternative format.

9. Accessibility of Third-Party Tools and Ads

If you encounter an inaccessible advertisement or embedded feature, please notify us so we can report it to the provider.
10. Continuous Improvement
Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. We view it not as a one-time project but as a continuous part of maintaining a high-quality, inclusive website.
We regularly review this statement and update our accessibility roadmap to stay aligned with new standards, legal frameworks, and user expectations through 2026 and beyond.
