Accessibility Statement

Effective April 30, 2026

Our commitment

The Quiet Arrival is built for people navigating burnout, sensory overload, chronic fatigue, and other invisible disabilities. Accessibility is mission-aligned, not optional. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across the site and continually improve toward WCAG 2.2.

What we've done

• Skip-to-content links on every page
• Visible keyboard focus indicators (WCAG 2.4.7)
• Color contrast meeting AA minimum 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for graphical elements
• Semantic landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) for screen-reader navigation
• Descriptive alt text on meaningful imagery; empty alts on decorative imagery
• prefers-reduced-motion honored — animations disabled if your system requests
• Native HTML form labels, error identification, and accessible form validation
• No autoplay video, no flashing content, no auto-redirecting forms

Known limitations

• Some product preview spread images open enlarged in a new tab; we are working to improve their accessible names.

Tested with

Manual keyboard navigation, VoiceOver (macOS / iOS), Lighthouse, axe-core, and at 200% browser zoom across desktop and mobile breakpoints.
