Michael Piercy English is committed to providing a website experience that is accessible, usable, and welcoming for visitors of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and alternative input devices.
Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility
I follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 (w3.org in Bing) as the foundation for accessibility on this site. These internationally recognized standards outline best practices for making web content more usable for everyone. As I add new pages and features, all designs, code, and content entry practices are reviewed with these guidelines in mind.
Accessibility is an ongoing process. I regularly test content and functionality for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and address any issues that arise. Testing is performed using industry‑standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard‑only navigation, and readability assessments.

Areas for Improvement
As I continue refining this website, I am actively working on the following areas:

- Enhancing keyboard navigation patterns where needed
- Reviewing contrast and readability across all pages
- Addressing any issues identified through ongoing accessibility scans
These efforts are part of my commitment to making every visitor’s experience on this site welcoming and usable. While I strive to ensure accessibility across all content, I cannot guarantee the accessibility of third‑party websites that I may link to.
