ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Kartikeya Dhar is committed to making www.kartikeyadhar.com accessible to as many readers as possible, regardless of ability or technology. We believe a story should be within everyone's reach, and we want the experience of visiting this site to be simple, clear, and welcoming for all.

​

Our aim

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA — the widely recognised international standard for making web content more accessible to people with a range of disabilities, including visual, hearing, motor, and cognitive needs. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we work to improve the site over time.

​

What we do to support accessibility

We have taken a number of steps to make this site easier to use:

• Text alternatives: images that carry meaning, including book covers and artwork, are given descriptive alt text so they can be understood by screen readers.

• Readable structure: pages use clear headings and a logical reading order to help navigation with assistive technology.

• Colour and contrast: we aim for sufficient contrast between text and background so content is easy to read.

• Keyboard navigation: the site can be navigated using a keyboard, not only a mouse.

• Responsive design: the site adapts to different screen sizes, including phones and tablets, and supports zooming and text resizing.

• Plain, clear language: we write in a straightforward way and avoid unnecessary jargon.

This site is built and hosted on the Wix platform, which provides a range of built-in accessibility features and tools that support these efforts.

​

Known limitations

Despite our best efforts, some parts of the site may not yet be fully accessible. Areas we are aware of and continue to work on include:

• some decorative or atmospheric images and animations that may not suit every viewing preference;

• occasional content that may not yet meet every WCAG 2.1 AA criterion.

If you come across a barrier that is not listed here, please let us know — your feedback helps us improve.

​

Third-party content

This site links to external websites that we do not control, including online booksellers (such as Amazon, Flipkart, and Notion Press) and social media platforms (such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Medium). We cannot guarantee the accessibility of these third-party sites and are not responsible for their content or practices.

​

Getting help and giving feedback

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of this site. If you experience any difficulty accessing any part of it, or if you need information from the site in a different format, please contact us:

Email: [hello@kartikeyadhar.com]

Please describe the issue and the page it occurred on, and we will do our best to help and to respond within a reasonable time.

​

Ongoing commitment

We treat accessibility as a continuing responsibility rather than a one-time task. As the site grows, we will keep reviewing and improving it, and we will update this statement to reflect any changes.

A few notes before you publish it:

Everything listed under "What we do" is accurate for a well-built Wix site if you've actually done it — the one to double-check is alt text: make sure every meaningful image (cover, hero, author shots) has descriptive alt text, which you've been adding, so that claim holds true. Wix also has an Accessibility Wizard under Settings that scans your site and flags issues; running it once before you go live is worth the ten minutes and lets you honestly stand behind the "WCAG 2.1 AA" aim.

Keep the contact email identical to the one on your Privacy and Contact pages (hello@ or contact@) so nothing breaks the pen-name anonymity.

That rounds out your core pages — Privacy, Accessibility, and the metadata sets. Want me to draft the short Terms of Use to complete the legal footer, or move on to the Open Graph share image I mentioned?
