Accessibility

Last updated: May 18, 2026

After Forty Feel is committed to making our content accessible to readers with disabilities. We follow WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines as a working standard and audit ourselves against them quarterly.

What we do

• Readable typography — base font 18px serif body for letters, 1.65 line height, max 680px reading width on long-form content.
• Color contrast — body text on background passes WCAG AA contrast ratios (≥4.5:1 for body text, ≥3:1 for large text).
• Semantic HTML — proper heading hierarchy (one H1 per page, sequential H2/H3), lists for lists, articles inside <article> or <main>.
• Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements (links, buttons, forms) are tab-reachable and operable with Enter / Space.
• Image alt text — meaningful alt attributes on content images; empty alt on decorative images.
• Form labels — every input has either a visible label or an aria-label.
• Skip links — coming in our next refactor (in-progress).
• No autoplay video or sound — we don't autoplay anything that makes noise or motion.
• No pop-ups that block content — our subscribe forms are inline and footer; the cookie consent banner can be rejected.

Known gaps we're working on

• Skip-to-content link on every page (in roadmap).
• Full screen-reader test on all letter templates (next quarterly audit).
• Mobile touch-target sizing — most nav links are ≥44pt; some inline ad placements may render smaller on phones.

Tell us when something breaks

If you hit an accessibility barrier on After Forty Feel — a link that's not tab-reachable, a color contrast issue, an alt text that doesn't make sense, a screen-reader problem — please tell us. Email hello@afterfortyfeel.com with the page URL and a short description. We aim to acknowledge within 48 hours and fix substantive issues within 2 weeks.
