Standards we aim to meet

Our target is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2, level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and more usable for everyone.

Measures we take

• Use of semantic HTML for structure, including headings, lists, landmarks, and labels.
• Keyboard operability, including visible focus indicators and logical tab order.
• Color contrast checks for text and interactive elements against WCAG 2.2 AA contrast ratios.
• Text alternatives for meaningful images, and decorative images marked as presentational.
• Captioning or transcripts for multimedia when provided.
• Consistent navigation patterns and link styling that conveys purpose.
• Responsive design that adapts to various screen sizes and orientations.
• Reduced motion preferences respected when animations are used.
• Form inputs labeled clearly, with error messages that include suggestions to fix issues.
• Periodic manual checks, supported by automated testing tools as a secondary aid.

Compatibility with browsers and assistive technology

This website is designed to work with modern browsers that support current HTML, CSS, and JavaScript features. We test with a representative set, for example Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, and a selection of assistive technologies, for example screen readers and voice control. Older browsers and operating systems may not offer the best experience.

Technical specifications

Accessibility relies on the following technologies that work with the combination of your web browser and any assistive technologies or plugins: HTML, WAI-ARIA, CSS, and JavaScript. These technologies are essential to meeting the accessibility standards we target.

Known limitations and ongoing work

We are continuously improving content and templates. The following are areas we are actively reviewing:

• Legacy posts that may have missing alternative text or low contrast images, currently being updated as part of a content refresh plan.
• Third party embeds, such as social media widgets and video players, which may not be fully controllable by us.
• Older PDF files that were not created with accessibility in mind, prioritized for remediation or replacement with HTML content.
• Affiliate and advertising components that are provided by external services, monitored for keyboard and screen reader support.

If you encounter an issue that is not listed here, please let us know. Your feedback helps us prioritize fixes.

Assessment approach

We assess the accessibility of ohcuriosity.com using the following approaches:

• Self evaluation against WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria.
• Manual testing with keyboard only navigation and screen reader checks, for example VoiceOver and NVDA.
• Automated checks using tools that flag common issues, reviewed by a human before any decision is made.
• Content editor checklists within our publishing workflow to avoid introducing barriers.

Features that support accessibility

• Clear and consistent headings that describe page sections, for example H1 used once per page and logical H2 to H3 nesting.
• Links that describe their destination, for example “Read the recipe” or “Download the guide”.
• Buttons and form controls with accessible names and programmatic labels.
• Images accompanied by alt text that conveys meaning, or marked as decorative when appropriate.
• Text sized in relative units, so users can zoom without loss of content or functionality.
• Content that reflows on small screens without requiring horizontal scrolling.
• Notifications that do not rely on color alone, patterns or text are used as well.

Third party content and services

We sometimes link to or embed content that we do not control, for example YouTube videos, social media posts, maps, or advertising. While we try to choose services that are accessible, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party content. If you experience issues, please contact us so we can help with an alternative.
