Cecilia Dan Fine Art wants everyone to be able to read and use this website, whatever their abilities and whatever technology they use. We build it to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and test every page against them. This statement says what that means in practice, where we knowingly stop short, and how to tell us about a barrier.
Conformance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 (opens in new tab) define how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities, at three levels: A, AA, and AAA. This website conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA: every page meets every Level A and Level AA success criterion. The claim is made as of November 3, 2026 and covers the four pages of ceciliadan.com: the home page, the Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service, and this statement.
The site relies on HTML and CSS. It also uses JavaScript, WAI-ARIA, and SVG, but every page reads and works without them: JavaScript adds animation and scrolling behavior, and the pages conform with it turned off.
We also meet a number of Level AAA criteria: enhanced color contrast, pointer targets of at least 44 by 44 pixels on every standalone control, a focus indicator that nothing covers, no time limits, and no motion when your system asks for reduced motion. Level AAA as a whole is what the site works toward rather than a claim, since WCAG itself advises against requiring that level of an entire site, and some of it does not fit the typography we have chosen, as the limitations below explain.
How we build the site
- semantic HTML, one heading structure per page, landmarks, and a source order that matches the reading order;
- every control works with the keyboard alone, with a visible focus ring that no header or bar hides, and "Skip to content" is the first link the Tab key reaches on every page;
- text contrasts with its background at 7:1 or more, large text at 4.5:1 or more;
- pages reflow to a screen 320 pixels wide with no sideways scrolling, which is 400% zoom on a desktop browser, and allow pinch-to-zoom on phones;
- meaningful images carry informative alternative text, and decorative ones are marked so that assistive technology skips them;
- every link that opens a new tab or your email app says so to screen readers;
- the site honors your system's reduced-motion setting, and otherwise nothing moves, blinks, or plays on its own;
- there are no time limits, no cookies, and no sign-in for visitors;
- pages print cleanly.
Compatibility
We test the site in current Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, on desktop and phone-sized screens; Edge and Opera use Chrome's engine. It was tested with VoiceOver in August 2026, and at each audit we read every page's accessibility tree, which is what a screen reader reads, in order. We have not tested with NVDA, JAWS, or TalkBack. If you use one of them and meet a problem, please tell us. The site may behave unexpectedly in a browser more than two major versions old.
Known limitations
Everything below conforms to Level AA. These are the places where we knowingly stop short of a Level AAA default or of best practice, and what you can do about each.
- Line length and spacing. On the legal pages, a line of text runs to about 150 characters on a wide screen, longer than the 80 characters WCAG's Level AAA criterion names as a default, and the home page's introductory paragraphs have a line spacing of 1.375 times their type size, where the same criterion asks for at least 1.5. This is our typographic choice. Narrowing the browser window, zooming, or using your browser's reader view shortens the lines, which is the control WCAG asks to be available.
- Small links in the reference lists. The museum names in the lists on the home page are links set in running text, 17 pixels tall: within WCAG's exception for links whose size the surrounding line height sets, but below the 44 pixels we give every other control. Zooming the page enlarges them.
- Links inside text are not underlined. A link within a paragraph or a reference list looks like the words around it until you hover over it or reach it with the keyboard, when it underlines. Screen readers announce every link, and the Tab key finds each one.
- Plain language. The Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service, and this statement use legally precise wording that reads above the level we aim for on the home page.
- Other websites. The museums, universities, and organizations we link to are outside our control and may not meet the same standards.
If you meet any other barrier, please tell us. We treat accessibility as ongoing work, not a finished state.

How we test
We evaluate the site ourselves, page by page, with:
- automated testing with axe-core and Lighthouse on every page, covering every success criterion a tool can test at Levels A and AA and the three it can test at Level AAA;
- a scripted walk through every keyboard stop on every page, forward and backward, including the controls inside closed disclosures, checking that nothing hides the focused element and that each control is large enough;
- a read of each page's accessibility tree in reading order, and checks of its heading structure and landmarks;
- checks at 320 pixels wide and on touch screens, with reduced motion, in print, and with JavaScript off;
- screen-reader testing with VoiceOver, most recently in August 2026.
The site was most recently audited on November 3, 2026, when every page passed every automated accessibility test. We repeat the audit after any change to the templates and at least once a year, and we review this statement each time.
