Accessibility Statement

Our Standard

We work toward designing, building, and maintaining our site and content in line with:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and 2.2 (targeting Level AA)

  • The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (U.S.),

  • EN 301 549 (EU/UK ICT accessibility requirements)

Conformance posture: We are committed to ongoing compliance. Because technology, content, and standards evolve, we treat accessibility as a continuous improvement process rather than a one-time claim of perfection.

What’s Already in Place

  • Screen-reader compatibility for navigation and core content

  • Keyboard navigation (tabbing and focus order) without requiring a mouse

  • Alternative text on all meaningful images

  • Captions/subtitles for video content; podcast transcriptions provided

  • Accessible color contrast and palettes to support readability

  • Responsive design / adjustable text via browser and OS settings

  • Clear headings and page structure for logical reading order

  • No flashing/strobe content that could trigger seizures

Third-Party Platforms & Embedded Content

Our site integrates services we don’t fully control, including Squarespace, Printful, PayPal, Venmo, YouTube, Captivate, and Instagram. Each has its own accessibility features and limitations. We configure and label third-party components as accessibly as possible, but some aspects may not meet all guidelines. If a third-party element creates a barrier, tell us — we’ll work on an accessible path or alternative.

Alternative Access

  • Media: We provide captions/subtitles for videos and transcripts for podcasts.

  • We do not currently offer other alternative formats (e.g., large-print PDFs). If you need a different format or accommodation, contact us; we’ll do our best to assist promptly.

Testing & Monitoring

  • Method: Internal self-testing using assistive-technology checks and code/content reviews.

  • Frequency: At least annually, and additionally when we launch major features or redesigns.

  • Remediation: We prioritize fixes that block access to content or purchases.

Legal & Global Coverage

This statement applies globally to ConfusedIdealist.com and associated content we control. It is governed by the laws of the State of Colorado and the United States, as applicable.

Ongoing Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process. While we strive to meet recognized standards, we cannot guarantee absolute perfection across all pages, browsers, devices, and integrations at all times. Your feedback helps us improve.

Changes to this Statement

We may update this Statement from time to time. Material changes will be posted on the Sites with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Sites after the effective date constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Statement.

Reporting Barriers (we value your feedback)

If you experience difficulty using any part of our site, please include the page URL, what you were trying to do, and any assistive tech/browser details. We aim to reply within 2 business days.
