Accessibility Statement
Effective date: 1 June 2025
Our Commitment
Koala Picks is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We strive to provide a website that is accessible and usable by everyone, regardless of ability or technology.
Standards and Guidelines
We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.
Measures to Support Accessibility
- Use of semantic HTML5 landmarks (
<header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>
) for keyboard navigation and screen readers. - All images include
alt
attributes describing their content. - Keyboard operability: all functionality accessible via keyboard.
- Color contrast meets minimum ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text.
- Resizable text up to 200% without loss of content or functionality.
- ARIA roles and labels applied where needed for dynamic content.
- Form fields include explicit
<label>
elements.
Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, some third-party content (e.g., embedded videos) may not fully comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We are continually working to improve accessibility and will address issues as they arise.
