Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: September 2026

Our Commitment

SelfPublishingNerd.com is committed to making this website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We are actively working to improve the usability, accessibility, and overall experience of our site for all visitors, regardless of ability or the technology they use to browse the web.

Conformance Status

We are pleased to report that this website substantially conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, with pages scoring between 9.8 and 10 on WAVE (no critical errors) and 100 on Google Lighthouse across the site, including our members-only area. We have also manually verified keyboard navigation and focus visibility throughout the site. Because accessibility depends on more than automated testing alone, we continue to review the site on an ongoing basis.

Measures We’ve Taken

• High-visibility custom focus outlines on all interactive elements — including links, buttons, and our cookie consent tools — so keyboard users can always see exactly where they are on the page
• A “Skip to Content” link that is the first focusable element on the page, verified with keyboard-only navigation
• Text and background colors checked and corrected to meet the 4.5:1 contrast ratio required by WCAG AA
• Descriptive alternative text on meaningful images
• A responsive design that adapts to phones, tablets, and different browser zoom levels

Known Limitations

None known at this time. As with any website, we rely in part on third-party plugins and embedded content, including our cookie consent tool. While we’ve tested and configured these to work well with keyboard and screen reader navigation, we don’t have full control over future updates made to that code by the vendor. If you ever encounter a barrier, please let us know using the contact information below.
