Website Accessibility Policy

Accessibility Statement

Compliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and Plated Posts is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and 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 all people: 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 use accessible markup and semantic HTML wherever possible so that persons with specific disabilities can adjust the website’s user interface to their personal needs through browser-level and assistive-technology features.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by emailing .

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) alongside semantic HTML so that blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. Screen-reader optimization includes:

  1. Screen-reader optimization: meaningful form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, and modal dialogues; and descriptive ALT text on images. These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

  2. Keyboard navigation optimization: our HTML and JavaScript are authored so the website is operable by keyboard alone. This includes navigating with Tab and Shift+Tab, operating dropdowns with arrow keys, closing them with Esc, triggering buttons and links with Enter, and navigating between radio and checkbox elements with arrow keys and Space.

Additional UI, design, and readability considerations

  • Font scaling – users can use their browser’s zoom to enlarge text and the layout will adapt.
  • Color contrast – we strive to meet AA contrast ratios across text and interactive elements.
  • Animations – animations are kept minimal and respect the user’s prefers-reduced-motion setting where possible.
  • Focus indicators – interactive elements show a visible focus outline for keyboard users.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies possible, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, together with JAWS and NVDA screen readers on Windows and macOS.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible or are in the process of becoming accessible. We are continually improving accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and adopting new technologies to reach the optimal level of accessibility.
