Accessibility Statement

Lexie Peeler, LLC aims to design and maintain this website in alignment with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA.

WCAG provides recommendations for making digital content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.

This statement describes our current accessibility goals and practices. It should not be interpreted as a certification or guarantee that every page or feature is fully conformant with WCAG 2.2 AA at all times.

Accessibility considerations are incorporated into the design and development of this website alongside visual design, content, performance, and responsive behavior.

The site is designed with practices that include:

• Semantic HTML and meaningful page structure
• Logical heading hierarchy
• Keyboard-accessible navigation and controls
• Visible keyboard focus indicators
• Descriptive labels for interactive elements
• Appropriate alternative text for meaningful images
• Decorative images that are hidden from assistive technologies where appropriate
• Color contrast considerations for text and interactive elements
• Information that does not rely on color alone
• Responsive layouts designed to remain usable across screen sizes
• Touch targets designed to be usable on mobile devices
• Reduced-motion support
• Accessible forms, labels, instructions, and error messaging
• Support for browser zoom and text enlargement
• Efforts to prevent unintended horizontal scrolling
• A skip-to-content option for keyboard users

The website is intended to be usable without a mouse.

Visitors should be able to navigate interactive elements such as:

• Navigation links
• Buttons
• Menus
• Accordions
• Carousels
• Forms
• Dialogs and overlays
• Business and Party navigation controls

using a keyboard where those controls are present.

Keyboard focus should remain visible so users can identify which element is currently active.

This website includes motion and animation as part of its visual design.

A motion control is provided where implemented so visitors can reduce or disable certain site animations.

The website also aims to respect a visitor's operating system or browser-level prefers-reduced-motion setting.

When a visitor chooses to reduce motion using the site's controls, that preference may be stored locally in the browser so it can be remembered during future visits.

This preference is used for accessibility and is not used for advertising or behavioral tracking.

Meaningful images should include alternative text when that information is useful to someone who cannot see the image.

Images that are purely decorative should generally be ignored by assistive technologies rather than being given unnecessary descriptions.

Because this website is highly visual and includes portfolio work, illustrations, photographs, and design examples, some imagery may contain visual details that are difficult to communicate completely through a short text alternative.

Where an image communicates important information, reasonable efforts are made to provide an appropriate text equivalent or surrounding context.

Some portfolio projects may include screenshots, layouts, presentations, brand systems, illustrations, videos, or other visual design work.

The purpose of these materials is often visual, so not every decorative detail can be reproduced meaningfully in text.

Where project imagery communicates information necessary to understand the work, the site aims to provide supporting context through captions, case-study copy, alternative text, or surrounding content.

If meaningful audio or video content is added to the website, accessibility needs will be considered based on the content and its purpose.

Where appropriate, this may include:

• Captions
• Transcripts
• Text alternatives
• Accessible playback controls

Decorative media that does not communicate meaningful information may not require the same treatment.

Website forms are designed with accessibility in mind.

Where applicable, forms should include:

• Clear field labels
• Instructions where additional explanation is needed
• Identification of required fields
• Keyboard accessibility
• Understandable error messages
• Error messaging that can be communicated to assistive technologies
• Logical focus behavior

If you encounter difficulty completing a form, you may contact Lexie Peeler directly at: lexie@lexiepeeler.com.

The website is designed to work across desktop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes.

Layouts are intentionally adapted for smaller screens rather than simply shrinking desktop content.

The site also aims to remain usable when browser zoom is increased to 200%, including maintaining readable text, accessible controls, and functional navigation without requiring unnecessary horizontal scrolling.

Color is an important part of the Lexie Peeler visual identity.

Accessibility decisions consider how each color is actually being used.

Meaningful body text, controls, focus indicators, and other essential interface elements are designed with appropriate contrast in mind.

Decorative colors and visual elements may use lower contrast where they do not communicate essential information or function as interactive controls.

The website does not intentionally rely on color alone to communicate important information.

This website may link to third-party services such as:

• LinkedIn
• Calendly
• Spotify
• Buy Me a Coffee
• Etsy
• Adobe
• Canva
• Other professional or creative platforms

Lexie Peeler, LLC does not control the accessibility of third-party websites or applications.

We encourage third-party providers to offer accessible experiences, but accessibility issues within those services generally need to be addressed by the applicable provider.

If third-party content is embedded directly into lexiepeeler.com in the future, reasonable efforts will be made to integrate that content accessibly.

The website is designed using modern web standards and is intended to work with current versions of commonly used browsers, devices, and assistive technologies.

Because combinations of browsers, operating systems, assistive technologies, extensions, and personal settings vary widely, it may not be possible to guarantee identical functionality in every environment.

If something is not working as expected, please let us know.

Accessibility is an ongoing process.

As the website evolves, pages, components, and content may be reviewed and improved for accessibility.

This may include evaluating:

• New pages
• New interactive components
• Forms
• Navigation
• Media
• Third-party integrations
• Color and typography
• Responsive behavior
• Keyboard interaction
• Screen-reader behavior

Lexie Peeler, LLC intends to continue maintaining and improving accessibility as the site changes.

Despite ongoing efforts, there may be accessibility issues that have not yet been identified or resolved.

Portfolio websites can also contain complex visual work, third-party content, experimental interactions, or historical project materials that present additional accessibility challenges.

If a specific part of the site creates a barrier, please contact us so the issue can be reviewed.

If you encounter an accessibility issue on lexiepeeler.com, have difficulty accessing information, or need content provided in another format, please get in touch.
