Accessibility Statement

Last updated: August 19, 2026

I want davidhacks.com to be usable by everyone — and accessibility is part of what I build for clients too. This page describes what's built in, what the site's limitations are, and how to reach me if something gets in your way.

what's built in

Reduced motion respected: if your system is set to "reduce motion", the typing animations stop and the final text is shown immediately; the auto-spinning logo holds still and other movement is minimized.
Semantic structure: real headings, landmarks, lists, and labeled navigation, so screen readers can move through the page by structure.
Alt text and labels: the animated logo, navigation dots, and interactive elements carry ARIA labels describing what they are and do.
Keyboard access: all links and buttons — including the cookie banner's Accept/Decline — are reachable and operable by keyboard, with visible focus.
Contrast: text colors are chosen for legibility against the dark background; body copy avoids low-contrast pairings.
Scaling: the layout is responsive and text can be zoomed to 200% without loss of content or horizontal scrolling.
Multiple contact routes: you can reach me by SMS, phone number, or email — whichever works for you.

known limitations

The headline typewriter effect announces text progressively; with reduced motion enabled it renders instantly instead. If a screen reader still reads a headline oddly mid-animation, scrolling on and back re-renders it complete.
The rotating torus-knot logo is decorative WebGL; it is labeled but conveys no information you can't get elsewhere on the page.
The neon glow styling is aesthetic; if you use forced-colors/high-contrast mode, your system palette takes precedence.

standard I aim for

This site aims for WCAG 2.1 level AA. It's a moving target as the site evolves, and I audit against it when the design changes.

found a problem? tell me

If anything on this site is hard to use with your setup — screen reader, keyboard only, magnification, voice control, anything — I genuinely want to know and will fix it fast. Text (201) 667-7226 or email david@knexmail.com and tell me what happened and what you were using. You'll get a reply, usually same day.

accessibility in client work

The same standards go into what I build for clients: semantic markup, keyboard support, contrast, reduced-motion handling, and screen-reader testing are part of every quote — not an add-on.
