Accessibility Statement

Last updated: April 30, 2025

I’m committed to making makaylafigueroa.com accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. As a freelance designer, I understand the importance of creating digital experiences that are both beautiful and functional for everyone.

This website is built with accessibility in mind and is regularly reviewed to follow best practices outlined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. Efforts include maintaining proper contrast, using clear navigation, and ensuring compatibility with screen readers and keyboard-only navigation.

If you experience any difficulty accessing content or navigating the site, please get in touch. Feedback is always welcome and helps improve usability for all.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

This site has been thoughtfully designed to meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards for accessibility. It’s optimized to support assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other tools that help users interact with digital content.

Steps taken to improve accessibility include:

  • Defining clear content hierarchy with proper heading structures

  • Setting the site language and content order for better navigation

  • Adding descriptive alternative text to all meaningful images

  • Choosing accessible color contrasts across design elements

  • Minimizing motion and animation to reduce distractions

  • Ensuring that all videos, audio, and downloadable files are accessible

Partial Compliance Due to Third-Party Content

Some parts of this site include links or embedded content from external platforms—UpWork, Instagram, YouTube, and X (formerly Twitter). While every effort has been made to maintain a fully accessible experience, these third-party services operate independently and may not fully align with accessibility standards.

As a result, I declare partial compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA on any pages containing or linking to these platforms.

I continue to monitor and consider more accessible alternatives where possible to support an inclusive user experience across the site.

Accessibility Arrangements

As an independent freelancer operating under the personal brand MaKayla Figueroa, I work remotely and do not maintain a public physical office or storefront. Therefore, no in-person accessibility accommodations are applicable at this time.

All services are offered virtually through accessible online platforms, ensuring clients can communicate, collaborate, and receive deliverables from any location. I remain committed to digital accessibility and strive to make all online interactions inclusive and user-friendly.

Requests, Issues, and Suggestions

If you encounter an accessibility issue on this site or need assistance with any accessibility-related concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am committed to ensuring a positive and inclusive experience for all visitors.
