BWD Accessibility Statement
Raw News. Real Buzz. For Everyone.
At BuzzWire Daily, we believe that unfiltered news should be accessible to all readers, regardless of ability or technology. We are committed to ensuring our digital “buzz” is inclusive.
Our Commitment to Standards
BuzzWire Daily takes active steps to ensure our website complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. This ensures our content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users relying on assistive technologies.
Compliance Highlights
We adhere to strict design principles to maximize readability:
- High Contrast: We utilize Electric Red and Deep Black against Pure White backgrounds to exceed the 4.5:1 contrast ratio requirement.
- Clear Typography: Our minimum body text size is 16px with a 1.6 line height for optimal legibility.
- Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements, including menus and “breaking news” alerts, are fully navigable via keyboard.
- Focus Indicators: We utilize distinct red outlines to indicate focus states for users navigating without a mouse.
Ongoing Improvements
News moves fast, and so does technology. We regularly audit our site using both automated tools and manual review to identify areas for improvement. Specifically, we prioritize:
- Alt Text: Ensuring all viral images and news photos include descriptive alternative text.
- Video Captions: Providing captions for our video reports and viral clips.
- Reduced Motion: Respecting user settings for reduced motion to prevent triggering seizures or dizziness.
