♿ Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 05/07/2025
At Bart Andries – Ceremony Leader & Officiant, we strive to ensure this website is accessible to everyone. This means that people with visual, auditory, motor or cognitive impairments should be able to use the information and services we offer without barriers.
I believe that everyone deserves access to honest, clear, and compassionate communication – also online, and especially in vulnerable moments such as loss and grief.

​

🌐 Compliance with Accessibility Guidelines
This website has been designed with attention to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA, as recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines describe how websites should function for people with various disabilities.
We aim for full compliance, while acknowledging that some elements may not yet fully meet these standards. We are committed to ongoing improvement.

​

✅ What we are doing in practice

  • Responsive design: the website works on desktop, tablet, and smartphone

  • Readability: clear fonts, appropriate line spacing, and strong color contrasts

  • Alt text: images include descriptive alt text where necessary

  • Heading structure: correct use of H1, H2, etc. for screen readers

  • Language: plain, accessible wording without excessive jargon

  • Forms: input fields are properly labeled and accessible via keyboard navigation

  • Navigation: simple menu, clear buttons, and consistent layout

​

❗ Potential limitations
While we do our best to ensure accessibility, some limitations may temporarily exist:

  • Not all downloadable PDF or Word documents are fully accessible for screen readers

  • Some interactive elements (like photo galleries) may not work optimally with assistive technology

  • Not all videos include captions or audio description – but we aim to add these in future updates

🛠️ Technical compatibility
This website has been tested on recent versions of common browsers:

  • Google Chrome

  • Safari
    It is also compatible with screen readers such as NVDA and VoiceOver (basic features).
