Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Art Wiki is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

We believe that the appreciation and study of art history should be accessible to all, regardless of ability or disability. Our goal is to create an inclusive platform that can be used by as many people as possible.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Art Wiki is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

We are working to achieve full compliance with WCAG 2.1 level AA and to maintain this level of accessibility as we continue to develop and update our website.

Accessibility Features

Art Wiki includes the following accessibility features:

• Alt text for all informative images
• Proper heading structure and semantic HTML
• Sufficient color contrast
• Keyboard navigation
• Responsive design that works on various devices and screen sizes
• Text resizing without loss of content or functionality
• ARIA landmarks and roles where appropriate

We are continuously working to improve these features and implement additional accessibility enhancements.

Limitations and Alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of Art Wiki, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions:

• Historical images: Some historical artworks may not have detailed alt text due to the subjective nature of visual art. We are working to improve our descriptions.
• PDF documents: Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. Please contact us for alternative formats if needed.
• Third-party content: We cannot claim responsibility for the accessibility of third-party content that is linked from our website.
