Commitment to accessibility

I want this website to be accessible and enjoyable for as many readers as possible. My goal is to follow widely recognized accessibility standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, and to continually improve the experience for visitors using assistive technologies.

Measures taken to support accessibility

I work to ensure that the site includes:

Text that is readable with clear hierarchy and consistent formatting
Alt text for meaningful images
Keyboard‑friendly navigation
Sufficient color contrast between text and background
Responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes
Semantic HTML structure within the theme

As the site evolves, I review new content and features with accessibility in mind.

Known limitations

Despite my efforts, some areas may not yet be fully accessible. These may include:

Older posts that predate accessibility improvements
Embedded media or third‑party widgets that I cannot fully control
Occasional formatting inconsistencies in long serialized chapters

If you encounter an issue, I want to know so I can fix it.

Feedback and contact

If you experience any accessibility barriers or have suggestions for improvement, please reach out:

Email: info@nicholasballou.com

I aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe and address issues as quickly as possible.

Ongoing improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process. I review the site periodically, especially when adding new features or redesigning pages, to ensure it remains usable for all readers.
