ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Last Updated: [Jan 27, 2026]

Our Commitment

At Econ Unlocked, we believe that education should be accessible to everyone. Henry Zhu, the creator of this project, is dedicated to ensuring that our website and course materials are usable by the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to improve the accessibility and usability of our Service.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA as a standard. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. While we strive to adhere to these guidelines, please note that our project is built and maintained by an individual, and conformance may not be fully achieved in all areas. We view accessibility as an ongoing journey and are committed to continual improvement.

Measures We Have Taken

To make our website and content more accessible; we have implemented the following measures:
1.    Semantic Structure: We use proper HTML heading tags (H1, H2, etc.) to provide a logical content structure for screen readers.
2.    Text Alternatives: We provide descriptive alt text for meaningful images and icons used on the website.
3.    Keyboard Navigation: The website is designed to be navigable using a keyboard alone.
4.    Color Contrast: We have chosen color schemes that aim to provide sufficient contrast between text and background.
5.    Video Content: For all video lessons, we provide a complete written script. [Note: If you add captions/subtitles later, mention it here.]
6.    Resizable Text: Users can adjust text size using standard browser zoom functions without breaking the site layout.

Known Limitations & Feedback

Despite our best efforts, some accessibility limitations may exist. We are aware of the following areas and are working to improve them:
•    Third-Party Content: Some embedded content (e.g., from video hosting platforms) may have varying levels of built-in accessibility which are outside our direct control.
•    PDF Documents: If any course materials are provided as downloadable PDFs, we are working to ensure they are tagged for accessibility.
Your feedback is essential. If you encounter any accessibility barriers on the Econ Unlocked website or have suggestions on how we can improve, please contact us. We will make all reasonable efforts to address the issue and enhance your experience.

Compatibility

Our website should be compatible with most major screen readers and recent versions of popular browsers. We recommend using the latest versions of assistive technologies and web browsers for the best experience.

Technical Specifications

The accessibility of this website relies on the following technologies:
•    HTML
•    CSS
•    JavaScript
These technologies are used in compliance with WCAG guidelines.

Assessment Approach

We assess our website's accessibility through a combination of self-evaluation using automated tools (e.g., WAVE, Lighthouse) and manual testing.
