Our Commitment to Accessibility

At The Purposeful Project, we are committed to making our website accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities. We believe that everyone deserves equal access to content that informs, uplifts, and inspires. Our goal is to provide a seamless, inclusive experience that reflects the values of empathy, integrity, and respect that define our platform.

​

We are actively working to ensure that our digital environment supports accessibility and usability, in accordance with recognized standards and guidelines.

What Web Accessibility Means

Web accessibility ensures that people with a wide range of disabilities—whether visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, or neurological—can use and engage with websites with the same level of functionality and understanding as any other user. Accessibility may involve the use of assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice commands, alternative navigation tools, and more.

​

We understand that creating an accessible website is a continuous process, and we are committed to maintaining and improving our accessibility practices over time.

​

Accessibility Features and Adjustments on Our Site

Our website has been adapted in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, and we strive to conform to the AA level of accessibility compliance. In pursuit of this goal, we have implemented the following features and adjustments:

• Conducted an accessibility audit using internal and external tools to identify and correct usability issues

• Specified the language of each page for assistive technologies

• Structured content with logical and consistent heading hierarchies for easy navigation

• Added descriptive alternative text (alt text) to all meaningful images and visual content

• Ensured adequate color contrast between text and background for readability

• Reduced or eliminated motion-based effects that may trigger sensitivity issues

• Created a content layout that supports screen reader compatibility and keyboard-only navigation

• Provided accessible versions of multimedia content, including transcripts or captions where applicable

• Optimized page load speed and site responsiveness for accessibility across devices

​

We regularly monitor our site and perform updates to maintain high standards of accessibility and user experience.

Declaration of Partial Compliance Due to Third-Party Content

Some pages on The Purposeful Project may contain embedded content or applications provided by third-party services. While we make every effort to ensure that all areas of our site are fully accessible, we acknowledge that accessibility compliance for third-party content may vary.

​

The following areas include third-party content that may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards:

• Embedded media players for author interviews (YouTube)

• Linked resources on external publishing platforms

• Social media plug-ins or feeds

​

As these elements are not under our direct control, we declare partial compliance for the specific pages where these integrations appear.

​

​

Feedback and Accessibility Support

We value the experience of every visitor. If you encounter any difficulty accessing content, notice any aspect of the site that is not fully accessible, or have suggestions for improvement, we encourage you to reach out via the Contact page on our website.

Your feedback is important to us and will be used to further our commitment to inclusive and equitable access for all users.
