Accessibility Statement

At BestMirrorlessCameraPick.com, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone—regardless of ability, technology, or situation. Accessibility is an ongoing journey, and we strive to create an inclusive experience for all visitors, including those who use assistive technologies, screen readers, or alternative input methods.

This Accessibility Statement outlines the standards we follow, the features we support, and the areas we’re actively working to improve. We want every reader to feel welcomed, respected, and empowered to use our site with confidence.


Our Commitment to Inclusion

Our mission is to help people make informed decisions about photography gear, especially mirrorless cameras and accessories. That mission includes serving every visitor equally—whether they are browsing on a smartphone, using a screen reader, navigating with a keyboard, or relying on specialized accessibility tools.

Accessibility is not a checklist—it’s a mindset. We believe that an inclusive website reflects our values and improves the experience for everyone, regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities, location, device, or bandwidth.

We aim to make our content usable by the widest audience possible, recognizing that accessible design benefits all users—those with temporary limitations (like a broken arm), situational challenges (like bright sunlight), or lifelong disabilities (such as low vision or hearing loss).


Standards We Follow

We strive to conform to internationally recognized accessibility standards, particularly the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Our goal is to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines, which strike a practical balance between usability and implementation for content-rich websites.

These guidelines cover a broad range of accessibility principles, including:

  • Perceivable: Ensuring content can be detected by users in multiple ways (e.g., alt text for images, sufficient color contrast)
  • Operable: Making the site navigable with keyboards, voice input, or alternative devices
  • Understandable: Providing clear instructions, consistent navigation, and readable content
  • Robust: Ensuring compatibility with current and future assistive technologies

While we are not perfect, we are dedicated to ongoing testing and improvement to align with these principles.


What We’ve Done So Far

We have taken a number of steps to improve the accessibility of BestMirrorlessCameraPick.com, including but not limited to:

  • Using proper HTML5 semantics to structure content clearly
  • Ensuring that all images include descriptive alt text where appropriate
  • Designing buttons and links with clear labels that make sense out of context
  • Following color contrast standards for readability
  • Making sure font sizes are adjustable and legible
  • Implementing a responsive design that works across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices
  • Ensuring keyboard navigability of all major menus and links
  • Providing skip-to-content links for easier screen reader access
  • Using ARIA roles and landmarks where applicable
  • Avoiding auto-playing audio, flashing content, or motion that could trigger discomfort

We audit the website periodically using tools like:

  • WAVE Accessibility Checker
  • Lighthouse by Google
  • NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) screen reader
  • Axe DevTools
  • Manual keyboard-only testing
  • Color contrast analysis tools

These tests help identify potential issues so we can address them in future updates.


Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is a process, not a one-time fix. As our content library grows and our website evolves, we continue to test, improve, and adapt our features to meet accessibility needs.

Areas of ongoing improvement include:

  • Adding transcripts and captions to all future video content
  • Providing more detailed link descriptions for better context
  • Improving the clarity of form instructions and error messages
  • Making comparison tables more usable by screen readers
  • Avoiding reliance on color alone to convey meaning
  • Enhancing breadcrumb navigation and ARIA roles for better structure
  • Improving focus states for keyboard users
  • Expanding alt text descriptions for complex or visual product imagery

We are also exploring ways to create an optional high-contrast version of the site and improve text spacing and line height for users with dyslexia or reading fatigue.

As we receive user feedback and continue testing across different platforms and devices, we will prioritize updates based on real-world usage, user impact, and ease of implementation.


Supported Technologies

BestMirrorlessCameraPick.com is built using a mobile-responsive framework and is tested for compatibility with modern browsers and operating systems. The website works best with the following:

  • Latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari
  • Operating systems such as Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android
  • Common screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack
  • Browser zoom up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
  • Keyboard-only and screen-reader navigation through headers, skip links, and focusable elements

We make every effort to ensure that the site does not rely on proprietary plugins or inaccessible design frameworks. Our custom components are tested against assistive technology tools to the best of our ability.


Known Limitations

While we are committed to full accessibility, there are areas of the site that may still present challenges for some users. These may include:

  • Older comparison tables that may not be fully compatible with all screen readers
  • Some third-party embedded tools or forms that do not fully meet WCAG 2.1 standards
  • Occasional affiliate elements or advertisements that originate from external platforms
  • Older articles where accessibility audits have not yet been applied
  • Interactive components (like dropdown filters or expandable FAQs) that may not fully support all navigation methods on all devices

We are actively working to resolve these limitations and apply accessibility enhancements across legacy and new content alike.


Third-Party Content

Some content on our website may include third-party plugins, embedded media, widgets, or externally hosted features (e.g., product comparison tools, YouTube videos, social share buttons). While we do our best to ensure that these features are accessible, we do not control the accessibility of third-party code.

Whenever possible, we choose partners and tools that support accessibility standards and allow keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and adequate color contrast.

If a third-party feature creates a barrier, we welcome your feedback and will seek to replace or improve it in future updates.


Your Feedback Helps

Accessibility is a shared journey—and your input matters. If you encounter an issue on the site, experience difficulty accessing any part of a page, or have suggestions for improvement, we welcome your feedback.

We are especially interested in hearing from people who use:

  • Screen readers
  • Braille terminals
  • Keyboard-only navigation
  • Eye-tracking or speech-based input tools
  • High-contrast or dyslexia-friendly settings
  • Mobile assistive technologies

Your experiences help shape how we improve the site and make it better for everyone. Feedback is reviewed regularly and prioritized based on severity and impact.


Commitment to Future Accessibility

Our vision for BestMirrorlessCameraPick.com is one of inclusion and usability—where every user, regardless of ability, can access, understand, and benefit from the content we create.

In the future, we plan to:

  • Launch dedicated accessibility profiles or themes (e.g., high contrast or text-only mode)
  • Implement an accessibility toggle or overlay for quick adjustments
  • Continue training our editorial and development teams on inclusive best practices
  • Add accessibility checks as part of our routine content publishing process
  • Conduct annual third-party audits for accessibility compliance and insights
  • Offer an accessibility guide or FAQs for users needing help navigating the site

By embedding accessibility into every stage of our content and development workflow, we hope to create a space that’s not only inclusive—but intuitive, enjoyable, and empowering for everyone.
