Accessibility statement for Social Spice Media

Compliance Status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities.

Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

If you wish to contact the website’s owner, please use the website’s contact form.

Screen-reader and Keyboard Navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively.

1. Screen-reader Optimization

We run a process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example:

  • Accurate form labels and descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.)
  • Validation guidance for form inputs
  • Element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others
  • Automatic ALT text generation for images using image-object-recognition and OCR technology
  • Screen-reader adjustments activated via Alt+1
  • Automatic announcements to turn on Screen-reader mode upon entry

These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.

2. Keyboard Navigation Optimization

The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes:

  • Navigation using Tab and Shift+Tab keys
  • Dropdown operation using arrow keys, Esc to close
  • Triggering buttons and links using Enter key
  • Radio and checkbox navigation using arrow keys and selection using Spacebar or Enter
  • Content-skip menus via Alt+2
  • Focus management for popups
  • Shortcuts: “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), “G” (graphics)

Disability Profiles Supported

  • Epilepsy Safe Profile: Eliminates risk of seizures from flashing animations and risky color combinations.
  • Vision Impaired Profile: Adjusts the site for various visual impairments (Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, etc.).
  • Cognitive Disability Profile: Provides assistive features for cognitive disabilities (Autism, Dyslexia, CVA, etc.).
  • ADHD Friendly Profile: Reduces distractions for users with ADHD and neurodevelopmental disorders.
  • Blind Users Profile: Compatible with screen-readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack).
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile: Enables motor-impaired users to navigate via keyboard and shortcuts.

Additional UI, Design, and Readability Adjustments

  • Font adjustments: Size, family, spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
  • Color adjustments: Light, dark, inverted, monochrome, and customizable title/text/background schemes.
  • Animations: Option to stop all animations including videos, GIFs, and CSS transitions.
  • Content highlighting: Emphasize essential elements like links and titles.
  • Audio muting: Mute automatic audio to prevent discomfort.
  • Cognitive disorders: Search engine integration with Wikipedia/Wiktionary to clarify phrases, slang, etc.
  • Additional functions: Change cursor color/size, enable virtual keyboard, printing mode, and more.

Assistive Technology and Browser Compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, covering over 95% of the user market. Supported platforms include:

  • Browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera, Microsoft Edge
  • Screen readers: JAWS, NVDA (Windows and Mac)

Notes, Comments, and Feedback

Despite our best efforts, some pages may not yet be fully accessible or are in the process of becoming accessible. We continually improve accessibility, update options and features, and adopt new technologies to reach the optimal level of accessibility.

Let’s talk Design.
