Our Commitment

Jacob Kukuk is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Conformance Status

Current Status: Partially Conformant

"Partially conformant" means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We are actively working to achieve full conformance and will update this statement as improvements are made.

Accessibility Features

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

Keyboard Navigation

Full keyboard navigation support with visible focus indicators. All interactive elements are accessible via keyboard.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Semantic HTML5 elements, ARIA labels, and descriptive text for screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver).

Color Contrast

WCAG AA compliant color contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).

Responsive Design

Mobile-first responsive design that works across devices. Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of functionality.

Alternative Text

All images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images are properly marked with empty alt attributes.

Clear Navigation

Consistent navigation structure, skip links, and clear page titles. Logical heading hierarchy.

Language Declaration

Page language is properly declared (English) for accurate screen reader pronunciation.

  • Users have enough time to read and use content
  • Content does not cause seizures (no flashing content)

  • Users are helped to avoid and correct mistakes

Robust

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts, there may be some limitations. Known issues include:

We are actively working to address these limitations in future updates.
