Accessibility Statement

Ritva Living wants its articles and website features to be accessible to as many people as possible. We aim to provide a reading experience that supports different devices, ways of navigating, and individual accessibility needs.

We recognise that barriers may still exist, and we welcome feedback that helps us identify and address them.

We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA as a reference for evaluating and improving the website.

This statement describes our goals and current practices. It should not be interpreted as a claim that every page or feature fully conforms to a particular standard unless a documented evaluation supports that claim.

To provide a barrier-free reading experience, our ongoing accessibility work includes:

• Semantic Landmark Structure: Standard HTML5 landmarks (main, article, header, footer, nav, section) to facilitate screen reader navigation.
• Color Contrast: Text and interface controls calibrated to meet WCAG contrast ratios across both light and dark themes.
• Keyboard Navigation: Interactive elements (navigation menus, dialogs, buttons, search filters) operable via keyboard with visible focus indicators.
• Accessible Imagery: Editorial photographs, illustrations, and logos include descriptive alternative text (alt attributes) for non-sighted users.
• Accessible Primitives: Modals, accordions, and dropdowns built using accessible Radix UI primitives with proper ARIA attributes, keyboard traps, and focus restoration.
• Respect for Motion Preferences: Animations and transitions respect the user's prefers-reduced-motion operating system setting.

We aim to review accessibility as pages and features change, using a combination of automated checks and manual keyboard navigation assessments.

Some third-party widgets, embedded media, or interactive elements may not yet provide an ideal experience across every browser or assistive technology configuration. If you encounter any barriers, please let us know so our technical team can investigate and improve them.

If you experience any difficulty accessing our content, navigating the site, or using a form, please contact us with details including the URL, the issue encountered, and your browser or assistive tool:
