Standard

This site aims to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA - the technical standard referenced by EN 301 549 and, in turn, by the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882).

To be precise about status: this is a self-assessment, not an independent audit or certification. No certification scheme exists for the EAA, and I make no claim to hold one. As a personal site offering no consumer product or service, robkow.com also falls outside the EAA's scope. I target the standard because it's the right way to build, not because I'm required to.

What's in place

• Semantic HTML with a single, ordered heading hierarchy
• Landmark regions and ARIA labelling on every section
• Full keyboard navigation with visible focus indicators
• Skip-to-content link for screen reader and keyboard users
• Text contrast meeting or exceeding 4.5:1 throughout
• Captions and a written transcript for the introduction video
• Background video is muted, decorative, and hidden from assistive technology
• prefers-reduced-motion respected for animation and cursor effects
• Responsive layout that reflows without horizontal scrolling

Known limitations

Being honest about what isn't perfect:

• The introduction video has captions but no audio description; the transcript is provided as an alternative
• Web fonts load from a third-party CDN, which may briefly affect text rendering on slow connections
• The animated browser tab title can be stopped with the Escape key, but this isn't signposted visually
• The site has not been tested with every screen reader and browser combination

Found a barrier?

Useful things to include: the page or section, what you were trying to do, and the browser and assistive technology you're using. I aim to respond within five working days.
