Website information
Accessibility Statement
Vasu’s Portraits and Candids aims to make this website usable for people with diverse abilities, devices, and ways of navigating.
Our target
The website is designed and reviewed toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. Accessibility is treated as an ongoing practice rather than a one-time label.
Measures included
- Semantic landmarks, headings, lists, buttons, and form controls
- A skip link and logical keyboard order
- Visible focus indicators and 44-pixel touch targets
- Text alternatives for meaningful photography
- Color contrast designed for WCAG AA
- Content that does not rely on color alone
- Reduced-motion support and no autoplaying media
- Native disclosure and dialog patterns with keyboard support
- Form labels, instructions, field errors, and an error summary
- Responsive layouts up to 400% browser zoom without horizontal page scrolling
Known limitations
Photography is inherently visual. The site provides factual alt text and captions, but a text description cannot reproduce every visual quality of an image. The Instagram contact path is controlled by a third party and may have accessibility behavior outside this website’s control.
Feedback and help
If you encounter a barrier, describe the page, the task you were trying to complete, your browser or assistive technology if you are comfortable sharing it, and the format that would help. Email portraitsbyvasu@gmail.com or use the contact page to prepare a message for Vasu.
Technical approach
The public interface uses semantic HTML, CSS, and small progressive-enhancement JavaScript without a front-end framework. Core content and navigation remain available when JavaScript is unavailable; enhanced search, gallery filtering, and inquiry preparation require JavaScript.
