Accessibility

Last Updated: April 18, 2025

CozyLayout.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) 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 make our website as accessible and usable as possible.

Commitment

We believe that everyone deserves to access information online, regardless of ability. We are committed to making CozyLayout.com accessible in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). While we strive to meet these guidelines, we recognize that achieving and maintaining full accessibility can be challenging for a dynamic blog, and we are dedicated to ongoing improvement.

Measures Taken to Support Accessibility

We aim to incorporate accessibility into our website design and content creation processes. Some of the measures we take, or aim to take, include:

  • Semantic Structure: Using appropriate HTML heading structures (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to organize content logically, making it easier to navigate with screen readers.
  • Alternative Text: Providing descriptive alternative text (alt text) for meaningful images to ensure users who cannot see images can understand the visual content. Decorative images may have null alt text.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Striving to ensure that all interactive elements and navigation menus are accessible using only a keyboard.
  • Color Contrast: Aiming for sufficient color contrast between text and background elements to improve readability for users with visual impairments.
  • Readable Fonts: Using clear and legible fonts and providing adequate spacing.
  • Link Text: Writing descriptive link text that makes sense out of context, rather than generic phrases like “click here.”
  • Resizable Text: Allowing users to resize text using browser controls without loss of content or functionality.
  • Content Clarity: Writing content in a clear and understandable manner.

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing effort at CozyLayout.com. We regularly review our site and content, considering accessibility best practices. We understand that technology and standards evolve, and we will continue to educate ourselves and make improvements over time.

Third-Party Content and Links

CozyLayout.com includes content and links related to third-party websites and services, such as:

  • Google Analytics: Used for website traffic analysis (primarily operates in the background).
  • Affiliate Links: Links to external retailer websites (e.g., Amazon, others) through affiliate programs.
  • Newsletter Signup: May utilize a third-party email marketing service.

While we choose partners and tools with accessibility in mind where possible, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content or websites linked from our site. We encourage users to review the accessibility statements of any third-party sites they visit.

Limitations and Known Issues

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility, there may be some limitations. These may include:

  • Older Content: Some older blog posts published before our focus on accessibility may not fully meet current standards. We aim to update critical content as needed or upon request.
  • Third-Party Widgets/Embeds: Embedded content or widgets from third parties (like affiliate banners or potentially embedded videos) might present accessibility challenges that are outside our direct control.

We are working to address limitations where feasible.
