Accessibility Statement

Rohdesign.com — Our commitment to making Rohdesign.com welcoming and usable for everyone.

Accessibility at Rohdesign

Rohdesign is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to make our website as inclusive as possible.

As a site dedicated to visual thinking and sketchnoting, we believe creativity should be accessible to all — regardless of ability. We strive to ensure that the information, tools, and resources on Rohdesign.com can be enjoyed by the widest possible audience.

Conformance Status

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for everyone.

While Rohdesign.com is built on the Squarespace platform, which provides a baseline of accessibility features, we recognize that ongoing effort is needed to meet and maintain accessibility standards across all pages and content.

Measures We Take

Rohdesign takes the following measures to ensure accessibility:

  • Providing alternative text descriptions for meaningful images, including sketchnote illustrations and product photos

  • Using clear, descriptive headings and a logical content structure throughout the site

  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background elements

  • Supporting keyboard navigation across the site

  • Using descriptive link text so visitors understand where links lead

  • Designing responsive layouts that work across devices and screen sizes

  • Including a "Skip to Content" link for keyboard and screen reader users

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some areas of the site may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations include:

  • Third-party content: Some embedded content from platforms like Gumroad (for product sales) or external video hosts may not fully meet accessibility standards.

  • Older images: Some legacy sketchnote images and blog post graphics may lack detailed alternative text descriptions.

  • PDF documents: Some downloadable resources may not be fully optimized for screen readers.

  • Platform constraints: Certain accessibility features may be limited by the Squarespace platform.

We are actively working to identify and address these limitations.
