Accessibility Statement

Last updated: March 2026

1. Our Commitment

Dennis Svechnikovs is committed to making svechnikovs.com accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. Accessibility is a core professional value — it is embedded in the design work delivered to clients and applied equally to this website.

2. Conformance Status

I aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, as referenced by the EU Web Accessibility Directive (Directive 2016/2102) and the EN 301 549 standard.

3. Measures Taken

  • Semantic HTML5 structure with a logical heading hierarchy (H1–H3)
  • “Skip to main content” link present at the top of each page
  • All meaningful images include descriptive alt text; decorative images use empty alt attributes
  • Colour contrast ratios target ≥ 4.5:1 for normal text and ≥ 3:1 for large text
  • All interactive elements are keyboard accessible (Tab / Shift+Tab / Enter / Escape)
  • Focus indicators are visible for keyboard navigation
  • Text can be resized up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
  • Form inputs are labelled; required fields are indicated; error messages are descriptive
  • The cookie consent banner is keyboard navigable and screen-reader compatible

4. Known Limitations

  • Some CSS animations may not respect the prefers-reduced-motion media query on all devices — I am working to address this
  • Certain custom-styled interactive components may have limited compatibility with older assistive technologies (JAWS < v2022, NVDA < 2022.1)
  • Third-party scripts may introduce elements outside our direct control, I monitor their accessibility compliance

5. Technical Specifications

Technologies relied upon for accessibility: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES2020+).

Tested with: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge on desktop; NVDA (Windows) and VoiceOver (macOS/iOS) on screen readers.
