At Everyday Software, Everyday Joy, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all individuals, regardless of ability, background, or technology. As a platform dedicated to sharing knowledge, experiences, and interesting insights about life in the United States, we believe that every reader should have equal access to the stories, guides, and resources we publish. This Accessibility Statement outlines our ongoing efforts to make the website usable and inclusive for as many people as possible.
We strive to follow internationally recognized accessibility guidelines, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines provide a framework for creating web content that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users. Whether you are browsing with a screen reader, navigating with a keyboard, using speech recognition tools, or adjusting your display settings, our goal is to support a smooth and meaningful user experience.
To achieve this, Everyday Software, Everyday Joy incorporates a variety of accessibility-focused practices into our design, structure, and content. We aim to use clear headings, descriptive alt text for images, keyboard-friendly navigation, readable color contrast, and simple language that makes content easier to understand for a broad audience. Our website layout is designed to be responsive, allowing visitors to read and explore content comfortably on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices.
While we work hard to meet accessibility standards, we recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process. Technology evolves, user needs change, and new tools become available. Because of this, we continuously review and update our website to identify areas for improvement. We welcome feedback from readers who encounter accessibility challenges, and we take such input seriously. When issues are reported, we will investigate them and take prompt action to resolve barriers whenever possible.
Everyday Software, Everyday Joy may include content from third parties, such as embedded maps, videos, advertising modules, or social media integrations. While we strive to ensure accessibility across all parts of the site, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content or services outside our direct control. However, we carefully choose reputable partners and platforms that also aim to follow recognized accessibility practices, and we continuously look for accessible alternatives when needed.
Our editorial team is committed to creating content that is inclusive and easy to navigate. We avoid overly complex formatting, steer clear of unnecessary jargon, and provide context when discussing topics that may be unfamiliar to some readers. Whenever possible, we aim to offer clear explanations, structured guidance, and page layouts that help all users—especially those with cognitive, visual, or hearing-related challenges—engage with our materials effectively.
In addition, we regularly test the website using a combination of automated accessibility tools and manual review processes. These checks help us identify potential issues related to color contrast, heading structure, link clarity, multimedia accessibility, and overall usability. Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond compliance; it reflects our broader goal of building a welcoming and inclusive digital environment for all.
