Savvy Turtle and No Cheese Records are 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:
- 2026-10-23: Contrast ratio of text elements has been improved so that it meets or exceeds the ratio.
- Most choices have been black text over white background.
- This is an ongoing process as the pages are being checked and the CSS is being updated as they are identified.
- 2026-10-23: Alt Text has been updated on most images.
- Although the alt text has been updated on the images in the media library, some places where they are used the alt text is overridden. For instance, a logo’s alt text while might be descriptive is sometimes overridden by one word “Logo.” The intention is to correct these cases at a later point.
- 2026-10-23: Some links that open to new pages have a span with “sr-only” (short for screen reader only) class added with text similar to “(opens in a new window)”. This is ongoing.
- Similarly, links to PDFs are being improved with “sr-only” text to indicate that this opens a PDF. This is ongoing.
- 2026-10-22: Animated GIFs have a pause button
- 2026-10-30: 75% of posts have been updated
- 2026-11-01: All posts have been updated
- Alt Text added to images
- sr-only / screen-reader-text span added to links
- Links including PDFs annotated as such
- improvement to links context
- Removal of empty paragraphs
- 2026-11-01: Updating of video transcript
- One page updated to include transcript edited on the source YouTube video for correctness and then added within details and video chapters of the following article which will be used as a model moving forward for the remaining posts including video content that is in control of U Do It (it is not possible to update video content of third party creators):
- 2026-11-02: Updated video transcript
- 2026-11-03: Updated video transcript
Where We’re Improving
In our efforts to bring our website up to standard, we are targeting the following areas:
- Links that open in a new page marked with screen reader text indicating that it opens in a new window.
- Image alt-text
- Empty Links
- Link formatting
- Improvements will be made to the formatting of links such that it isn’t only color but also an underline.
- Empty Paragraphs
- Color Contrast
- Transcripts for video content
- First post edited to include the transcript: From Raw Steel to a Work of Art
- Once all posts have been updated with links <span class=”sr-only screen-reader-text”> describing the links these will be migrated on all posts to aria-label=”descriptive text” away from the <span>.
- There are common elements on all pages that will be updated. Once updated within the code it will it is believed that this will be addressed everywhere those elements are referenced.
- For instance, the search icon in the upper right of a post. This has empty link text but once it is fixed in the template code it will be addressed everywhere it is referenced.
This is part of our broader effort to make everyone’s experience at Savvy Turtle and No Cheese Records 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.
