Accessibility Statement

Last updated: October 11, 2026

I build websites for a living, so how this one treats somebody using a screen reader, a keyboard, or a magnifier is not an afterthought — it is part of the work. This statement covers masonobegi.com, which is run by Obegi Software LLC.

What I aim for

This site targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the current version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and the level most accessibility law points at, including the ADA in the United States. It does not claim full conformance: no independent audit has been done, and the gaps I know about are listed below.

What is in place

• The pages, the menu and the forms work with a keyboard alone, and whatever has keyboard focus is outlined.
• A "skip to content" link is the first thing a keyboard or screen-reader user reaches.
• Each page has one main heading, and the headings under it run in order, so a screen reader can move by structure instead of reading everything. That was checked on every page in the sitemap on October 11, 2026; the demos are the exception, below.
• Images that carry meaning have alt text; decorative ones are marked so screen readers skip them.
• The contact, review, landing-page and Website Checkup forms have visible labels tied to their fields, and their errors are announced to screen readers, not just shown in red.
• Animation follows your system's "reduce motion" setting, in the demos as well.
• The colour palette is set against the AA contrast minimums, and failures found in review get fixed — in September 2026 a dimmed folder count measured 2.52:1 and was corrected.

Tested on October 9, 2026

Every page of the site — 98 addresses — was loaded at 11 screen sizes, from a 360-pixel-wide phone to a 1920-pixel desktop, in headless Chrome, and the problems it turned up were fixed:

• No page scrolls sideways at any of those sizes.
• Text fields are at least 16px on touch screens, so a phone does not zoom in when you tap one.
• On touch screens, breadcrumbs, back links, footer links, gallery arrows and similar small links were enlarged towards a 44-pixel target.

Where it falls short

Being honest is more useful than claiming perfection:

• The demos. Many of the interactive demos are visual experiments built on 3D, canvas or dragging. They respect "reduce motion", but several cannot be fully used with a keyboard or a screen reader, and the headings inside a demo, which mocks up another business's page, can skip a level. Each one has a written description and instructions on its page.
• A few small touch targets remain, such as the edge-on cards of the 3D ring carousel.
• The comment boxes under Library articles are labelled for screen readers, but on screen their only label is placeholder text, which disappears once you start typing.
• Small card text. The short descriptions on cards are about 13px on a phone. Browser zoom enlarges them.
• Project screenshots show interfaces whose own text a screen reader cannot read. The caption describes what each picture shows.
• Project trailers have no captions or audio description. They show the project in use; the page around them describes it in text.
• PDFs on the site were produced by other tools and may not be fully tagged for screen readers. Ask me and I will send the content in another format.
• Videos on YouTube and LinkedIn carry whatever captions those platforms provide.
• Not yet tested: Safari's engine (WebKit), and end-to-end use with VoiceOver, NVDA or JAWS. Testing so far has been automated checks in Chrome and reading the code.

If something does not work

Tell me and I will fix it. That is not a formality — if you hit a wall on this site, it is a bug and I want to know. Email [email protected] or call (360) 921-0148, and say which page and what happened. I reply within one business day. How long a fix takes depends on what it is; I will tell you what to expect, and tell you when it is done.

If you need something on this site in a different format, ask and I will send it.

For clients

Sites I build are held to this same target. If accessibility matters for your business — and if you serve the public, it probably does legally as well as practically — say so on our first call and I will build to it and show you the testing.
