Accessibility statement
How this site aims to work for everyone, what is already in place, what is still missing, and how you can help.
01Commitment
Ariana Soares wants anyone to be able to learn about her work and book a session, however they use the web.
This site aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA. This is a voluntary statement.
02Conformance status
The site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 AA. It was reviewed during development, but has not yet had a formal evaluation with AccessMonitor or testing with disabled people.
03What is already in place
- Full keyboard navigation, with the focus always visible.
- A link at the top of each page to skip straight to the content.
- An ordered heading structure and labeled page regions (header, content, footer).
- Alternative text on meaningful images; decorative images are ignored by screen readers.
- Text contrast within the recommended values.
- Text that can be enlarged to 200% without losing content.
- Respect for the system preference for reduced motion.
- The page language is declared (Portuguese or English).
04Accessibility options
In the footer of every page, the "Accessibility" button opens options to adjust the site:
- text size (100%, 125%, or 150%);
- typeface, including Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed for people with low vision;
- more legible headings, more line and letter spacing, and underlined links;
- high contrast and color modes for color blindness (protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, and grayscale);
- stopping all animations;
- reading the page, or the selected text, aloud in the browser's voice.
Your choices are stored in this browser. If you accept preference cookies, they are kept between visits.
05Known limitations
- The color-blindness modes are an approximation: they adjust the site's colors but do not replace your system's accessibility settings.
- Read aloud depends on the voices installed on your device and may not be available in every browser.
- Booking happens on WhatsApp, an external service whose accessibility does not depend on this site. If it is hard for you, tell us and we will find another way.
- The documents delivered in the consultancy (colourbook, Style Book, and PDF guides) may not be fully accessible. If you need it, Ariana sends an alternative version.
06Technologies used
The site uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and works in current versions of the main browsers and screen readers. The content stays readable without JavaScript; only the accessibility options, the menu, and the animations need it.
07Found a barrier?
Tell Ariana on WhatsApp (+351 923 346 996) or Instagram (@arianasoares_consultoria) what you could not do and on which page. The reply comes through the same channel, and the information you need is sent in another format if needed.
08About this statement
This statement was prepared in November 2026, based on a review during the site's development, and is revised whenever the site changes significantly.
