Accessibility statement

Statement prepared: 14 November 2026. Last reviewed: 14 November 2026.

Julius travels with a mobility scooter and lives with the effects of a head injury, so access matters to this journal. We want everyone to be able to read and use juliusgross.com.

Standard we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

Conformance status

The website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 AA. This is a self-assessment carried out on 14 November 2026 with automated checks, keyboard-only testing and browser zoom up to 400%. Testing with screen readers and an independent audit have not been done yet.

What you can do on this site

• Use every link and control with a keyboard. A “Skip to content” link is the first item on each page.
• Zoom up to 400% without losing content, or use the accessibility button (bottom corner) to enlarge text, raise contrast, highlight links and stop motion. Your choices are remembered on every page.
• Your device’s “reduce motion” setting is respected automatically.
• All photos have text descriptions. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
• The introduction video has subtitles and a full written transcript, which also describes what is shown.

Known limitations

• Video subtitles are built into the picture. You cannot change their size or colour, and they cannot be turned off. Workaround: use the transcript next to the video.
• No audio description track. The transcript describes the scenes instead.
• Videos on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook are hosted by those platforms; their accessibility is outside our control.

Feedback and contact

If something is hard to use, or you need information in another format, please tell us. Include the page address and what you were trying to do. We read every message and will reply within a reasonable time.
