Accessibility Statement

Last updated:

We want this site to work for everyone who comes to it, including people using a screen reader, a keyboard alone, magnification, or a browser set to reduce motion.

Standard we build to

We build to WCAG 2.1 level AA, the standard referenced by the European Accessibility Act and by EN 301 549. This site has not been formally audited by a third party, so we do not claim certified conformance — we claim that we test against it and fix what we find.

What we have actually checked

  • Contrast. Every text colour on every page has been measured against the background it is actually painted on, in both light and dark mode. Body text meets 4.5:1 and large text 3:1. Several colours on this site were changed because a measurement said so, not because anyone complained.
  • Keyboard. Every link, button, form field and the confirmation slider can be reached and operated with the keyboard alone, and the focus outline is visible rather than removed.
  • Images. Meaningful images carry alternative text that says what they show; decorative ones are marked so a screen reader skips them.
  • Structure. One H1 per page and headings in order, so navigating by heading works.
  • Forms. Real labels attached to their fields, not placeholder text pretending to be a label, and error messages in words rather than a red border alone.
  • Motion. Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion.
  • Zoom and small screens. The site is usable at 200% zoom and down to a 320-pixel-wide screen without sideways scrolling.

Known limitations

  • The site has not been tested with every combination of screen reader and browser. We test with the tools we have.
  • Long-form articles use generous typography that some people will still want to zoom; that works, but we have not yet added a reading-mode of our own.
  • Where we link out to WhatsApp, Telegram or LinkedIn, those services are outside our control and their accessibility is theirs.

We do not use an accessibility overlay

Some sites add a widget promising accessibility in one line of JavaScript. They do not work, disability organisations consistently advise against them, and they have featured in litigation rather than preventing it. We fix the site instead.

Tell us about a barrier

If something on this site is not usable for you, please write to info@kuestenkurs.com and tell us which page and what happened. You can also call +1 (902) 623-2194.

We normally reply within a few working days and tell you plainly what we can do and when. If a piece of content is not accessible to you, we will give it to you another way — as plain text, or over the phone — rather than leave you waiting for a fix.

Enforcement

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the market surveillance authority responsible for accessibility requirements in your country. In Germany that is the Marktüberwachungsstelle der Länder für die Barrierefreiheit von Produkten und Dienstleistungen (MLBF).
