Website Accessibility, Improving from Day One
Accessibility isn’t an afterthought — it’s foundational. At ProjektExodus, we build our platform so anyone can use it, regardless of ability. That’s why website accessibility plays a central role in how we design and develop from the start.
What Website Accessibility Really Means
Website accessibility means making sure people with visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor impairments can navigate, understand, and use your website. It includes:
- Navigating using a keyboard instead of a mouse
- Letting screen readers interpret your content
- Ensuring color contrast and legible font sizes
- Using clear labels and helpful error messages in forms
Ultimately, accessibility isn’t only about legal compliance — it shows respect for every user.
How We Approach Accessibility at ProjektExodus
We’ve added several accessibility improvements that align with WCAG 2.1 principles:
- We write alt text for meaningful images
- We maintain strong contrast between text and background
- We use semantic HTML for headings, lists, and buttons
- We include visible focus indicators for all links and controls
- We apply ARIA roles carefully to enhance screen reader support
These practices ensure that accessibility guides every template, plugin, and content choice — even as the platform grows.
We Treat Accessibility as Ongoing Work
Instead of viewing accessibility as a one-time task, we treat it as a habit. Each time we add a feature, we check how it works for people using assistive tools. When we publish content, we review it for clarity and readability. Furthermore, when we design new components, we test them with both mouse and keyboard.
We regularly use tools like WAVE and axe DevTools to check our progress and catch issues early.
One overlooked but critical aspect of accessibility is content clarity. We’ve started reviewing our writing style to ensure plain language is prioritized wherever possible, such as explaining technical jargon, and keeping instructions concise. By doing this, we’re not only helping people with cognitive impairments — we’re also creating content that’s easier for everyone to understand. Clear content is accessible content.
Accessibility Starts with Content Too
Beyond code and layout, we also focus on how we write. We use plain language, explain complex ideas clearly, and remove technical jargon when possible. Clearer writing helps readers understand faster, take action confidently, and feel more welcome on the site.Beyond code and layout, we also focus on how we write.

Final Thoughts on Website Accessibility
When we prioritize website accessibility, we don’t slow down — we improve the entire user experience. Everyone benefits: users with impairments, mobile users, even search engines. At ProjektExodus, we’ll keep refining our accessibility practices to support every visitor, every time.
