ShiftQuality is a reference library. Its whole purpose is that people can read it — so it should be readable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, magnification, or other assistive technology.

Our commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. WCAG 2.1 AA is the standard referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidance, Section 508, and the European Accessibility Act, and it covers the four principles that content should be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

We treat accessibility the way we treat quality generally: as something you build in and keep checking, not something you declare once.

What we have done

• Semantic structure. Pages use real headings in a logical order, real lists, and real landmarks, so that assistive technology can navigate the content rather than guess at it.

• Keyboard access. Navigation, links, and interactive elements can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone.

• Text alternatives. Meaningful images carry alternative text; decorative images are marked so screen readers skip them.

• Color and contrast. Body and heading text is set to meet AA contrast ratios against its background, and color is never the only way information is conveyed.

• Readable layout. Text reflows on small screens and at increased zoom, and line lengths and spacing are set for comfortable reading.

• Descriptive links. Link text describes where the link goes rather than saying "click here."

Known limitations

We would rather be honest about the gaps than claim a clean bill of health:

• Some older articles predate our current standards and may have imperfect heading order or thin alternative text. We correct these as we revisit each piece.

• Some embedded third-party content — such as chat widgets, embedded media, or externally hosted tools — is outside our direct control and may not fully meet AA.

• Downloadable files (templates, checklists) are not all fully tagged for accessibility yet. If you need one in an accessible format, ask and we will provide it.

• The Site is built on the Wix platform, and some platform-generated markup and controls are not ours to change directly. Where we find a platform-level barrier, we report it to Wix.

Technical basis

The Site is built and hosted on Wix. It relies on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and is designed to work with current versions of major browsers and screen readers. Accessibility depends in part on the browser and assistive technology combination in use.

Tell us when something is broken

If you hit a barrier on this Site — a page a screen reader cannot navigate, contrast you cannot read, a control you cannot reach with a keyboard — please tell us. It is the fastest way for us to fix it.

Email: allwesternsky@gmail.com

Include the page address, what you were trying to do, and the browser and assistive technology you were using, if you can. We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within 5 business days and will tell you what we are doing about the issue and when.

If you need content from this Site in an alternative format, ask and we will do our best to provide it.

Review

We review this statement and the Site's accessibility periodically, and after significant redesigns. This statement was last reviewed on the date shown above.
