Accessibility Statement
Last updated: April 15, 2026
Journeyblog is committed to making travel content accessible to everyone, regardless of ability, assistive technology, or device. Travel should inspire, and that inspiration shouldn't be gated by an unusable site.
Our standard
We aim for conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines published by the W3C. This is the reference standard for most modern accessibility law (EU EAA, US ADA, UK Equality Act).
What we've done
- Semantic HTML with proper headings, landmarks, and ARIA attributes where needed
- Keyboard navigation for all interactive elements
- Colour contrast that meets or exceeds WCAG AA ratios across the site
- Descriptive alt text on all editorial images, and empty alt attributes on decorative ones
- Responsive layouts that zoom to 200% without loss of function
- Podcast transcripts for speech content
- Readable typography: Inter and Lora at comfortable sizes
What we're still improving
Accessibility is ongoing. Active work includes:
- Full captions on archived video content
- Audio descriptions for cinematic destination videos
- Translated transcripts (alongside our 9-language roadmap)
- Periodic audits with assistive-technology users
Browser and assistive technology
Journeyblog is tested with recent versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, plus the built-in screen readers VoiceOver (macOS, iOS) and NVDA (Windows). If you use an older browser or assistive tool and run into trouble, please let us know.
Report an accessibility issue
If something on the site is hard to use, we want to hear about it. Email accessibility@journeyblog.com with:
- The URL of the page
- A brief description of the problem
- Your browser and assistive technology, if relevant
We aim to acknowledge every report within two business days and fix critical issues on a priority basis.
