Our Commitment
InkWell is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to our blog platform, articles, and web properties.
Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
InkWell is fully conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Full conformance means that all content meets the success criteria at that level without exceptions.

- Full keyboard navigation support with visible focus indicators
- Screen reader compatibility with semantic HTML and ARIA landmarks
- Resizable text up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
- Color contrast ratios that meet or exceed WCAG AA standards
- Alt text for all informative images and icons
- Form controls with associated labels and clear error messages
- Captions and transcripts for all video and audio content
- Consistent navigation, headers, and page structure
- Compatible with major browsers and assistive technologies
Known Limitations & Workarounds
Despite our best efforts, there may be some limitations in accessibility. We are actively working to resolve these:
- Third-party embedded content: Some external widgets or embedded media may not fully meet accessibility standards. We provide alternative text or links to accessible versions where possible.
- Legacy blog posts: Older articles published before 2023 are being systematically audited and updated. If you encounter accessibility issues in older content, please report them using the contact information below.
