After Forty Feel is committed to making our content accessible to readers with disabilities. We follow WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines as a working standard and audit ourselves against them quarterly.
What we do
- Readable typography — base font 18px serif body for letters, 1.65 line height, max 680px reading width on long-form content.
- Color contrast — body text on background passes WCAG AA contrast ratios (≥4.5:1 for body text, ≥3:1 for large text).
- Semantic HTML — proper heading hierarchy (one H1 per page, sequential H2/H3), lists for lists, articles inside <article> or <main>.
- Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements (links, buttons, forms) are tab-reachable and operable with Enter / Space.
- Image alt text — meaningful alt attributes on content images; empty alt on decorative images.
- Form labels — every input has either a visible label or an aria-label.
- Skip links — coming in our next refactor (in-progress).
- No autoplay video or sound — we don't autoplay anything that makes noise or motion.
- No pop-ups that block content — our subscribe forms are inline and footer; the cookie consent banner can be rejected.
Known gaps we're working on
- Skip-to-content link on every page (in roadmap).
- Full screen-reader test on all letter templates (next quarterly audit).
- Mobile touch-target sizing — most nav links are ≥44pt; some inline ad placements may render smaller on phones.
Tell us when something breaks
If you hit an accessibility barrier on After Forty Feel — a link that's not tab-reachable, a color contrast issue, an alt text that doesn't make sense, a screen-reader problem — please tell us. Email hello@afterfortyfeel.com with the page URL and a short description. We aim to acknowledge within 48 hours and fix substantive issues within 2 weeks.
