Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: March 30, 2025

At Whimsy Gossip, we believe fantasy is for everyone. We're committed to ensuring our digital spaces are welcoming and accessible to all people, including those with disabilities. Our goal is to remove barriers and provide an inclusive experience for all site visitors.

Our Accessibility Commitment

We strive to follow the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These guidelines help make content more accessible to people with a wide range of needs, including:

  • Visual impairments
  • Hearing impairments
  • Motor limitations
  • Cognitive and learning disabilities

Measures We've Taken

Keyboard Navigation

Our site can be navigated using a keyboard alone, with visible focus states and logical tab ordering for all interactive elements.

Screen Reader Support

We've implemented semantic HTML, appropriate ARIA labels, and alt text for images to support screen reader users.

Color and Contrast

Text and interactive elements maintain high contrast ratios to support visibility for users with visual impairments or color blindness.

Responsive Design

Our site is responsive across a wide range of devices and supports zoom without loss of functionality.

Reduced Motion

We respect users' system preferences for reduced motion and minimize animation where appropriate.

Skip Links

Skip links allow users to bypass repetitive navigation links and jump directly to main content using the keyboard.

Areas for Ongoing Improvement

While we strive for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, some content may not yet meet all accessibility standards. We are actively working to identify and resolve accessibility issues as part of our continuous improvement process.

Some third-party tools or embedded content may not be fully accessible. We encourage users to contact us if they encounter issues.
