Accessibility

The standard we build to

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, at level AA. That is the standard most widely used to judge whether a website is usable by people with disabilities.

What we have done

• Every page opens with a "skip to content" link, so a keyboard user does not have to tab through the menu each time.
• Every image of the work has a written description, so a screen reader can describe the piece.
• The whole site can be used with a keyboard alone, and whatever you are on shows a visible focus outline.
• Buttons and links are at least 44 by 44 pixels, so they are easy to hit on a phone.
• Text throughout the site meets the contrast levels in the standard against its background. The one exception is the artist's name on the home page, listed below.
• Color is never the only way we show you something. Anything marked by color is marked by words too.
• If your device is set to reduce motion, the moving parts of the site stop, including the scrolling gallery and the drifting hero image.
• Headings run in order on every page, so the structure makes sense when it is read aloud.
• Every form field has a label attached to it, and errors are described in words.

What still needs work

We would rather tell you than let you find out:

• On the home page, the artist's name is white over a photograph. Where the letters cross the pale part of that photo, they are too light to meet the contrast level in the standard. The name is still real text on the page, so a screen reader reads it out loud. Every other place the name appears is easy to read.
• Parts of the site are drawn by JavaScript, so with JavaScript turned off some pages will be missing their menu or their gallery. The legal pages, including this one, are readable either way.
• Some pieces are shown with placeholder photographs and descriptive titles until the artist's real files are ready. Their descriptions will improve when the real images arrive.
• The site has been checked by hand and with automated tools, but it has not yet been tested by an independent accessibility auditor.

Tell us if something does not work

You should not have to fight a website to see an artist's work. If any part of this site is hard to use, email Chase@ArtCParker.com or call 813.404.8410. Tell us the page and what happened, and we will fix it.

We reply within five working days. If you need something on this site in another format, ask and we will send it to you.
