Accessibility Statement for Value-connection
Last Updated: May 14, 2025
We are committed to making Value-connection (accessible at Value-connection.com]) accessible to all users, in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards. This ensures our AI-focused content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for everyone, including those with disabilities.
Our Accessibility Commitment
- We strive to meet WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria, including:  
  - **Perceivable**: Providing text alternatives for images (e.g., alt text on AI visuals), ensuring sufficient contrast (e.g., white text on dark blue backgrounds), and supporting captions or transcripts where applicable.  
  - **Operable**: Ensuring keyboard navigation for all interactive elements (e.g., menu, comment section), avoiding time limits, and maintaining a mobile-friendly layout.  
  - **Understandable**: Using clear language (e.g., simple sentences in articles), consistent navigation, and error prevention (e.g., cookie banner instructions).  
  - **Robust**: Ensuring compatibility with assistive technologies (e.g., screen readers like NVDA).  
- This statement applies to our homepage, five articles, and key pages like “Privacy Policy.”
Current Accessibility Status
- Our site is designed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines as of May 14, 2025. We have implemented:  
  - Alt text for all images (e.g., “AI automating inventory”).  
  - High-contrast color schemes (e.g., contrast ratio of 4.5:1).  
  - Keyboard-accessible navigation tested with screen readers.  
- Some third-party content (e.g., Disqus comments) may not fully comply, and we are working with the provider to address this.
Known Limitations
- Dynamic content in Disqus may lack full keyboard support or screen reader compatibility. We are collaborating with Disqus to improve this.  
- Older articles may need updated alt text or formatting—contact us to report issues.
