Accessibility

Our commitment

The Creator Archives works to make this site usable by everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, and screen magnification.

Conformance status

This site aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA . Its current status is partially conformant, meaning some parts of the content do not yet fully conform to that standard. Improving that is ongoing work, not a finished state.

What has been done

Measures already in place on this site:

  • Semantic landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) and a logical, unskipped heading order on every page.
  • Visible keyboard focus indicators on links, buttons, and interactive controls, including a version tuned to stay visible on dark panels.
  • Reduced-motion preferences are honoured throughout — anyone with "reduce motion" set on their device gets a version of this site with no scroll or carousel animation.
  • Meaningful images carry real text alternatives; purely decorative marks are hidden from screen readers instead of being announced as noise.
  • Colour contrast is enforced by automated build checks that fail the build if a text/background pair falls short — not a one-time manual pass.
  • The coaching application form works without JavaScript: it submits as a plain HTML form and still reaches us if scripts are blocked or fail to load.

Known limitations

One contrast gap is on record and not yet fully resolved: the site's amber accent button has a fill colour that measures 1.80:1 against its background, below the 3:1 contrast WCAG asks for on a UI control's boundary. As a mitigation, that button always carries a solid dark border so its edge stays perceivable even though the fill itself doesn't clear that floor. The remaining gap is tracked, and closing it properly — rather than papering over it — is ongoing.

Assessment approach

This statement is based on a self-evaluation of the site's own code, plus automated checks run against it. No third-party accessibility audit has been performed.

Feedback

If you run into an accessibility barrier on this site, we want to know about it. Email hello@thecreatorarchives.io and tell us what you were trying to do and where it broke down.
