Accessibility Statement

Last updated July 21, 2026

Hayati is committed to making this website usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. Accessibility isn't a checkbox here — it's part of building things properly, and it's how I build for clients too.

Conformance status

This site is designed and tested to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard referenced by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and used widely in the U.S. and internationally.

This site substantially conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Substantially conforms means it meets the standard throughout, while acknowledging that no website is perfectly accessible in every combination of browser, device, and assistive technology — and that testing and improvement are ongoing.

What has been done

Specific measures in place on this site:

  • Visible keyboard focus indicators on every interactive element.
  • A "skip to content" link so keyboard users can bypass the navigation.
  • Color contrast meeting or exceeding AA thresholds — 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text and interface elements.
  • Full support for reduced motion: if your system is set to reduce motion, animation, auto-rotating content, and smooth-scrolling effects are turned off.
  • Auto-rotating content pauses on hover and on keyboard focus.
  • Semantic HTML with a correct heading structure and landmark regions.
  • Form fields with proper labels, required-field indication, autofill support, and errors announced to screen readers.
  • Descriptive alternative text for meaningful images; purely decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology.

How this was tested

This statement is based on a self-evaluation. Testing combined automated tooling (axe-core, run against the WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 A and AA rule sets) with manual review — keyboard-only navigation, focus-indicator verification, heading and landmark structure, and a manual color-contrast audit of all visible text.

Known limitations

  • Linked client websites. The case studies link out to sites built for clients. Those sites are maintained by their owners and may not meet this same standard.
  • Automated testing cannot catch every issue, and self-evaluation has limits. If something doesn't work for you, please tell me — see below.

Report a problem

If you run into a barrier on this site — anything that is difficult or impossible to use — please get in touch. Accessibility reports are treated as a priority.

Accessibility contact

Please include the page you were on and a short description of the problem, along with the browser or assistive technology you were using if you know it. I aim to respond within two business days and to fix confirmed issues promptly. If you need information from this site in a different format, I'll provide it.

Ongoing commitment

Accessibility is not a one-time project. This site is reviewed as it changes, and this statement is updated along with it. You can also read our privacy policy.
