Advocates for Inclusive Web Access

ArtVersion is committed to creating digital experiences that are usable, inclusive, and accessible to as many people as possible. We believe accessibility is a fundamental part of good design and an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time checklist.

Measures to Support Accessibility

We take the following measures to support and improve accessibility across our website and digital experiences. In practice, this commitment is reflected through the following efforts:

• Incorporating accessibility principles into our design and development practices

• Considering accessibility as part of our mission and values

• Providing ongoing accessibility awareness and training for our team

• Applying accessibility considerations during research, design, and testing phases

• Including people with disabilities in design personas and usability testing when possible

• Using internal reviews and quality assurance processes to identify accessibility issues

• Advocating for accessible and inclusive design through publishing and shared knowledge

Accessibility is treated as an evolving practice, and we continue to refine our approach as standards, technologies, and user needs change.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) provide recommendations for improving accessibility for people with disabilities. WCAG defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The ArtVersion website aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We regularly evaluate our site and make improvements as part of an ongoing effort to enhance accessibility and usability.

Additional Accessibility Considerations

Where possible, we also apply select WCAG Level AAA success criteria, including:

• Avoiding the use of images of text except where decorative

• Preserving user data when re-authentication is required after a session expires

Compatibility With Browsers and Assistive Technologies

The ArtVersion website is designed to be compatible with modern browsers and commonly used assistive technologies, including:

• Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari

• Keyboard navigation and screen reader support across macOS, iOS, Android, and Windows

The website may not fully support:

• Browsers more than three major versions out of date

• Mobile operating systems released more than three years ago

Technical Specifications

Accessibility on the ArtVersion website relies on the following technologies:

• HTML

• CSS

• JavaScript

• WAI-ARIA

These technologies are used to support compatibility with assistive technologies and accessibility standards.

Limitations and Alternatives

Despite our efforts, some accessibility limitations may exist, particularly on newly published or dynamically generated content. For example, automatically generated blog thumbnails may temporarily lack text alternatives until they are reviewed. We actively work to identify and resolve such issues. If you experience a problem not listed above, please contact us so we can assist.

Assessment Approach

ArtVersion assesses the accessibility of its website using a combination of:

• Internal self-evaluations
