Web Accessibility Statement

I AIn't Your Momma is committed to providing a fully accessible website experience for all users of all abilities, including those who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, screen enlargement software, and alternative keyboard input devices to navigate the web.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility

We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable. As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.

Website accessibility is an ongoing process. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools such as the Accessibility Checker WordPress Plugin, color contrast analyzers, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and Flesch-Kincaid readability tests.

Accessibility Features On Our Website

The following is a list of items we have included in our website to improve its accessibility:

  • WP Accessibility plugin installed: to enable users to toggle high contrast colors and toggle text size.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Full support for users to navigate the site entirely using the "Tab" and arrow keys without needing a mouse.
  • Screen Reader Compatibility: Proper use of semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and page structures so screen readers can accurately interpret content.
  • Image Alternative Text: Descriptive alt tags provided for all meaningful images, graphics, and icons.
  • Color Contrast: The site maintains a clear contrast ratio (at least 4.5:1) between text and background colors for readability.
  • Video/Audio Captions: Closed captions or synchronized text transcripts are included for multimedia content.
  • Resilient Text Scaling: Users can zoom in on the text up to 200% or adjust font sizes without breaking the page layout.

SEO and web accessibility are deeply symbiotic

Search engines essentially navigate the web like a screen reader—relying on structure, machine-readable text, and clear paths. Optimizing for accessibility improves crawlability, boosts user engagement, and directly enhances organic search rankings.

Why They Work Together

Both disciplines focus on delivering the best possible user experience. Search engines prioritize websites that are easy for humans to use, and many accessibility best practices perfectly overlap with technical and on-page SEO:

  • Semantic HTML: Using header tags (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) in a logical hierarchy helps screen readers navigate, while helping search engine bots understand your content's structure.
  • Image Alt Text: Descriptive alternative text allows users with visual impairments to understand images, while giving search engines vital context to index and rank your visual content.
  • Descriptive Link Text: Instead of vague phrases like "click here," using descriptive anchor text helps all users understand where a link leads and provides valuable ranking keywords to search engines.
  • Strong Behavioral Metrics: Websites that are easy to navigate and operate result in longer session times and lower bounce rates, which search engines interpret as positive quality signals.

Where We're Improving

In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:

  • Adding more semantic HTML, and ARIA labels

This is part of our broader effort to make everyone's experience at I Ain't Your Momma a welcoming and enjoyable one. Please note that while we make every effort to provide information accessible for all users, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third party websites to which we may link.
