Accessibility (ADA) Policy

At Suggest Me Book, we are dedicated to making our website usable by everyone. Because our site helps readers discover book suggestions, “books like” recommendations, and detailed book information, we continuously refine our design and content so that exploring titles and reading lists is accessible to all visitors.

Our Commitment

We aim to provide an online experience that works for the broadest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. Accessibility is considered throughout our planning, curation of book content, development, and ongoing maintenance, and we reference widely recognized accessibility standards and guidance to inform these efforts.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) outline requirements for improving accessibility for people with disabilities and define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Suggest Me Book is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. “Partially conformant” means that some content may not yet fully meet the standard. We monitor the site and make iterative improvements to enhance conformance over time.

Measures to Support Accessibility

Suggest Me Book takes the following measures to support accessibility:

  • Integrating accessibility into our workflow: Accessibility considerations are included in our content strategy, website design, development, and routine updates.
  • Quality assurance and testing: We use automated tools and manual reviews (including keyboard-only navigation and color contrast checks) to identify and address barriers.
  • Team training: Our team receives ongoing guidance on creating and maintaining accessible book listings, images, and page structures.
  • Clear accountability: Designated team members oversee accessibility initiatives and track remediation efforts.
  • Text alternatives: We strive to provide meaningful alternative text for informative images, such as book covers and icons, whenever feasible.
