Accessibility Statement for Eternal Echoes Letters
Effective Date: August 18, 2025
At Eternal Echoes Letters, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We believe in providing an inclusive experience that empowers everyone to engage with our content and services, fostering dignity, independence, and equal access. Accessibility is an ongoing journey, and we continually strive to improve our website (eternalechoesletters.com) to meet the needs of our diverse audience, particularly romance enthusiasts who may rely on assistive technologies.
Accessibility Standards
Our website is designed and developed in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA conformance. These internationally recognized standards help make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological impairments. We follow the POUR principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, Robust) to ensure our site is usable by all.
Key accessibility features we implement include:
-
Alternative text for images and meaningful descriptions for visual elements.
-
Keyboard navigation support for all interactive elements.
-
Sufficient color contrast ratios for text and interactive components.
-
Semantic HTML structure to aid screen readers and other assistive technologies.
-
Captions or transcripts for any multimedia content (if applicable).
-
Responsive design that adapts to various devices and screen sizes.
-
Clear, consistent navigation and labeling.
We conduct regular accessibility audits using automated tools, manual testing, and user feedback to maintain and enhance these features.
Known Limitations and Alternatives
While we aim for full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, we acknowledge that some areas may have limitations due to third-party integrations, legacy content, or evolving technologies. Currently, we are not aware of any major barriers, but if issues arise (e.g., compatibility with specific assistive technologies, browsers, or operating systems), we commit to addressing them promptly.
If you encounter an accessibility barrier:
-
Please contact us (details below) with a description of the issue, the page URL, and any assistive technology used.
-
We will provide alternative access, such as reformatted content or personalized assistance, within a reasonable timeframe.

For job applicants or employees (if applicable), we provide reasonable accommodations in accordance with Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act. Please contact us for more details.
Ongoing Efforts and Policies
Accessibility is integrated into our development lifecycle, including staff training, third-party vendor reviews, and inclusive design practices. We monitor emerging standards (e.g., WCAG 2.2) and update our site accordingly. This statement will be reviewed annually or upon significant changes, with the last update noted above.
