Accessibility statement
Design Note is written for people who are new to design, so it should be readable and usable by as many people as possible.
What this site does
- Pages are built from semantic HTML, so headings, lists and landmarks make sense to screen readers.
- Navigation, search, and every control can be reached with a keyboard alone.
- A skip-to-content link is the first tab stop, so keyboard users can jump past the site navigation.
- Text size can be increased on articles without breaking the layout, and the site also responds to browser zoom up to 200%.
- A visible focus indicator appears on links, buttons, cards, and form fields as you move through the page with a keyboard.
- A light and a dark theme are both available, and the site remembers your choice.
- Articles can be listened to as spoken audio for anyone who prefers or needs to read that way.
- Images that carry meaning have alternative text; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
How accessible this site is
Design Note aims to meet theWCAG 2.2 AA standard. Most of the site meets it, but some parts are still being improved:
- Some illustrations inside articles have short alternative text that does not fully describe the diagram.
- The spoken-article feature depends on the voices installed on your device, so pronunciation and quality vary.
Telling me about a problem
If something on this site is hard to read, hard to reach, or does not work with the assistive technology you use, I would like to know.
Emailczon.herald75@gmail.com any report helps, even a short one, and I will do my best to fix the issue or offer the content another way.
About this statement
This statement applies to Design Note. It was last reviewed on 1 September 2026, and is based on my own testing with a keyboard, browser zoom, and a screen reader rather than a formal external audit.
