Our Commitment to Accessibility
Welcome to jacobbuggie.com, the personal and professional portfolio of Jacob Buggie.
I believe information, professional opportunities, and digital experiences should be accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.
My goal is to provide an inclusive website where visitors can learn about my education, athletic journey, professional development, academic projects, and career interests without unnecessary barriers.
I am committed to improving the accessibility and usability of this website as its content and functionality evolve.
Accessibility Standards
This website is being developed with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as its accessibility target.
These guidelines provide recommendations for making digital content more accessible to people with visual, auditory, physical, cognitive, and other disabilities.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA is a design and development goal for this website. Full conformance has not been independently certified.
Accessibility Features
The website is designed to support a range of accessibility needs through features such as:
- Keyboard navigation: Visitors should be able to access primary navigation, links, buttons, and interactive content without requiring a mouse.
- Readable content: Clear typography, structured headings, and appropriate spacing help make information easier to navigate and understand.
- Responsive layouts: Content is designed to adapt to desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices.
- Color contrast: Text and interface elements are designed with readability and contrast in mind.
- Alternative text: Meaningful images are provided with descriptive alternatives where appropriate.
- Video accessibility: The professional introduction video is intended to include captions or an accessible transcript.
- Reduced motion: Visitors who prefer reduced animation should be able to access essential content without unnecessary motion effects.
- Accessible interactions: Interactive timelines, portfolio materials, and other features are intended to remain usable with assistive technologies.
These features are subject to ongoing testing and improvement.
Interactive Content and Multimedia
This website includes interactive storytelling, an athletic and professional timeline, portfolio presentations, and multimedia content.
These elements are intended to enhance the visitor experience without preventing access to important information.
Where possible, equivalent information is provided through readable text, accessible controls, captions, transcripts, or alternative navigation methods.
Some interactive features and third-party content may have accessibility limitations. I welcome feedback about any barriers visitors encounter.
Known Limitations and Ongoing Improvements
Although accessibility is an important part of this website’s development, some content or interactive features may not work perfectly for every visitor or assistive technology.
Potential areas for continued improvement include multimedia accessibility, complex interactive visualizations, third-party integrations, and compatibility with different assistive technologies.
As new content and functionality are added, accessibility will remain part of the review and improvement process.
If you encounter a barrier, please contact me so I can help provide the information in an alternative format when reasonably possible.
Browser and Assistive Technology Compatibility
The website is intended to work with current versions of major web browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.
It is also intended to support standard accessibility features such as keyboard navigation, browser zoom, screen readers, and operating-system reduced-motion preferences.
Compatibility may vary depending on the browser, device, and assistive technology being used.
Accessibility Feedback
Your feedback is welcome and helps improve this website.
If you experience difficulty accessing any content or using a feature, please contact:
When reporting an issue, it may help to include the webpage address, a description of the problem, and the device or browser you were using.
I will make reasonable efforts to review accessibility concerns and provide assistance or an alternative way to access the information.
Continuous Improvement
Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility.
As this website grows to include additional projects, professional experiences, and interactive functionality, I intend to continue reviewing its accessibility and making appropriate improvements.
Thank you for visiting and helping make this website a more inclusive experience.
