Accessibility Statement
Last updated 2026-04-25.
Our commitment
The Creator is committed to making ricoetta.com usable by the widest possible audience, including people who use assistive technology. We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium.
Standards we aim for
- Text alternatives for non-text content where reasonably practical.
- Sufficient color contrast and resizable text.
- Keyboard accessibility for interactive elements.
- Compatibility with current versions of major screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS) on current versions of major browsers.
- Clear, plain-language copy and predictable navigation.
Known limitations
We aim to be transparent about gaps we know about and are working on. Current known limitations:
- We have not yet had a third-party WCAG 2.1 AA conformance audit. We follow accepted-practice patterns (semantic HTML, alt text on uploaded images where provided, keyboard navigability, and contrast minima of at least 4.5:1 for body text) and will commission an audit before public scaling.
- Some user-uploaded images on the
/linksprofile may lack alt text. We display a placeholder where alt text is missing; visitors using screen readers may experience reduced context for those images. - The
/admin/*portal is not currently audited for WCAG 2.1 AA — it is operator-only and is not in the public scope of this statement.
