Accessibility Statement

Becoming Kin is committed to making our website accessible to everyone.

Draft — Pending Legal Review. This Accessibility Statement is a working draft and will be updated as the site continues to develop.

Our Commitment

We're building becomingkin.org to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. Accessibility is not an afterthought — it's built into our design and development process from the start. We believe everyone who needs Becoming Kin's services should be able to use our website without barriers.

Current Status

This site is in active development. We're working to ensure the following across all pages:

  • Sufficient color contrast on all text and UI elements
  • Alt text on all meaningful images
  • Full keyboard navigation support
  • Screen reader compatibility
  • Proper heading hierarchy on every page
  • Descriptive, meaningful link text

Known Issues

Some features are still being developed and may not yet meet full WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. We're actively identifying and resolving issues as the site is built. We'll update this section as issues are found and fixed.

Feedback

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on this site, please contact us. We take every report seriously and aim to respond within 5 business days.

Technical Approach

Our accessibility implementation is built on the following foundations:

  • HTML5 semantic markup (proper use of <nav>, <main>, <article>, <section>, <footer>)
  • ARIA labels and roles where native semantics are insufficient
  • Responsive design — the site works on any device and viewport size
  • No time-limited content
  • Visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation
  • Reduced-motion support via prefers-reduced-motion media query
