Accessibility Statement

Last updated: August 2026

Vanessa Ochi is committed to making vanessaochi.com accessible and welcoming to everyone, including people with disabilities.

I continuously work to improve the accessibility and usability of my website and aim to provide an inclusive experience for all visitors, regardless of the technology or assistive tools they use.

Accessibility Standards & Practices

I use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA as a guide for improving the accessibility of my website.

As an independent artist using the Squarespace platform, I take reasonable steps to support accessibility across my website, including:

Alternative Text
I aim to provide descriptive alternative text for artwork images and other meaningful visual content where appropriate, helping visitors who use screen readers understand the content and context of images.

Readability & Contrast
I aim to use clear typography and sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds to support readability.

Keyboard Navigation
I aim to ensure that interactive elements and essential website functions can be accessed and used through standard keyboard navigation.

Responsive Design
I aim to provide a consistent and usable experience across desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices using current versions of commonly used web browsers.

Clear Content & Structure
I strive to organize content using clear headings, descriptive links, and an intuitive page structure to make the website easier to navigate and understand.

Accessibility Limitations & Third-Party Content

While I strive to make my website as accessible as reasonably possible, some accessibility features depend on the underlying Squarespace platform and on third-party services integrated into my website. These may include payment providers, embedded social media content, external links, or other third-party functionality. Because I do not control the accessibility of these external services, some third-party content or functionality may not fully conform to applicable accessibility standards. I will make reasonable efforts to identify accessibility barriers and, where practical, seek accessible alternatives or provide an alternative way to access the relevant information or service.

Feedback & Assistance

I welcome feedback about the accessibility of my website. If you encounter an accessibility barrier, have difficulty accessing content, or need assistance with viewing or purchasing an artwork, please contact me:

Email: vanessa.ochi@web.de

Please describe the page or content you were trying to access and, if possible, the nature of the accessibility issue. I aim to respond to accessibility inquiries within 2 business days. If you are unable to access certain content or complete an order independently, I will do my best to provide reasonable assistance or an alternative way to access the information or purchase an artwork.

Ongoing Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process. I periodically review my website and make reasonable improvements as technology, accessibility standards, and my website content evolve. If you have suggestions for improving the accessibility of vanessaochi.com, I would be happy to hear from you.
