Portfolio accessibility

Accessibility

Updated October 15, 2026

How I built this site to work for everyone, and how to reach me if something gets in your way.

The standard

I build and maintain this portfolio to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, on every page and PDF. It's not a legal disclaimer. It's how I make sure the work is usable by anyone who visits.

Built into the site

• Everything works by keyboard or switch, and the item you land on is never hidden behind the header or the Accessibility button.
• Every click and tap shows that it registered.
• The Accessibility button changes text size and contrast, and Escape closes it.
• High contrast modes keep links, buttons, and focus outlines visible.
• Links that open a PDF or leave the site say so first.
• Screen readers don't hit empty lines or blank spacers.

If you run into an issue

I have Cerebral Palsy, but that's only one perspective. If something here doesn't work with your setup, email me at cook.geoffreyh@gmail.com. Tell me the page and what happened, and I'll fix it.
