Accessibility statement

Last updated 2026-05-29

Chino wants this site to work for everyone, on any device and with any assistive technology. This page explains the standard the site aims for, what is built in, where it falls short, and how to get help.

The standard we aim for

This site targets Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. That is the level used by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States and by EN 301 549 in the European Union. We treat AA as the bar, not the ceiling.

What is built in

Every page has an accessibility panel in the bottom-left corner with controls you can turn on, and your choices are remembered on your next visit:

  • Three text sizes, so you can scale the type up without breaking the layout.
  • A high-contrast mode for stronger color separation.
  • An option to underline every link.
  • A reduce-motion option that turns off animations and smooth scrolling.

Beyond those controls, the site is built to be accessible by default:

  • Plain, semantic HTML with a single clear heading order on each page.
  • A skip-to-content link, keyboard support for every control, and a visible focus outline.
  • Color contrast that meets WCAG 2.2 AA, in both the light and dark themes.
  • Meaningful alt text on images that carry information, and empty alt on decoration.
  • Form fields with real labels tied to their inputs.
  • A responsive layout that still works at 400 percent zoom without sideways scrolling.
  • System dark mode and a reduced-motion media query are both respected automatically.

Where it falls short

This is a one-person site and it is not perfect. Known gaps:

  • If a booking calendar (Calendly) is turned on later, that is a third-party embed and parts of it are outside Chino's control.
  • A few images or future blog posts may not be fully described yet. They are fixed as they are found.
  • Any PDF offered for download may not be fully tagged. Ask and an accessible version will be provided.

Tell us about a problem, or ask for another format

If something on this site is hard to use, or you need information in a different format, email yochino@gmail.com. Include the page address, what went wrong, and the assistive technology or format you need. Chino aims to reply within five business days and to offer the same information another way (large print, plain text, or read aloud over a call).

How it is tested

The site is checked with keyboard-only navigation, browser zoom up to 400 percent, screen-reader spot checks, and automated accessibility audits. It is built with standard HTML, CSS, and a small amount of JavaScript, so it keeps working even if scripts fail to load.
