Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed: May 25, 2026

I’m committed to making ashleybrasso.com usable for everyone, including people who navigate the web with screen readers, keyboard-only input, voice control, or other assistive technologies. This page describes the standard I’m working toward, where the site currently stands, and how to reach me if something doesn’t work for you.

The standard I’m targeting

I’m working toward Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the standard most widely recognized for non-government websites in the United States. WCAG 2.1 AA is the same standard used by federal courts to evaluate website accessibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Where the site currently stands

Accessibility is ongoing — not a checkbox. As of the last review date above, I’ve verified or improved the following on ashleybrasso.com:

Semantic structure. Pages use proper HTML landmarks (<main>, <nav>, <footer>) and a logical heading hierarchy.
Keyboard navigation. All interactive elements (links, buttons, forms) are reachable by keyboard. A “Skip to main content” link is available at the top of every page for keyboard and screen reader users.
Visible keyboard focus. Every focusable element shows a clear visual indicator when reached by keyboard.
Image alt text. All meaningful images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images are marked appropriately so they aren’t announced by screen readers.
Accessible names. Buttons, links, icons, and form fields have descriptive labels or ARIA attributes.
Mobile menu. The mobile navigation drawer is announced as a modal dialog by screen readers, with proper focus management.
Page language. Every page declares its language so screen readers use the correct pronunciation.

Known gaps I’m working on

In the interest of honesty, here’s what I know isn’t fully compliant yet:

Color contrast. Some accent text (the pink brand color used in eyebrows and stat highlights) currently sits below the WCAG AA contrast threshold against certain backgrounds. I’m evaluating a brand color refinement that maintains visual identity while meeting AA.
Third-party embeds. The email signup form (Kit) and calendar booking widget (TidyCal) are provided by third parties. I rely on those vendors’ own accessibility work, and they may not meet WCAG 2.1 AA in all cases. If you have trouble with either, please contact me directly — I can take your information personally.

How to report a barrier

If you encounter content on this site that’s difficult or impossible to use because of an accessibility issue, please tell me. I want to know.

Email [email protected] and include:

The page where you ran into the problem (a URL is most helpful, but a description works too)
A short description of the barrier — what you were trying to do, what happened, what didn’t work
The assistive technology you’re using, if relevant (screen reader, voice control, keyboard-only, browser/version)

I aim to respond within five business days. If the issue can’t be fixed quickly, I’ll find another way to get you the content or service you’re after — for example, sending information by email, taking your booking by phone or email, or providing an accessible alternative.

Ongoing review

I review this Site’s accessibility at least twice a year, and after any significant redesign or new section is added. When I make accessibility-related improvements, I update the “Last reviewed” date at the top of this page.

Third-party tools and the limits of this statement

This statement covers the pages on ashleybrasso.com that I control directly. It does not cover Substack, Kit, TidyCal, Instagram, LinkedIn, or other third-party platforms I link to. Those platforms publish their own accessibility statements, and their compliance is independent of mine.

Questions or feedback

For anything not covered above — including formal complaints, requests for accessible alternatives, or questions about this statement — email [email protected].
