Our commitment
This website is built with the intention of meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA conformance level. Accessibility is not an afterthought here — it is part of how this site was designed from the beginning. I want every visitor, regardless of how they access the web, to be able to explore Luxor and its history alongside me.
Measures taken
- All images carry descriptive alt text written in plain language.
- Colour contrast ratios meet or exceed WCAG AA minimums (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text and UI components).
- Interactive elements — buttons, links, form inputs — are keyboard-navigable and display a visible focus ring.
- Form fields are labelled correctly and error messages are programmatically associated with their inputs.
- The page structure uses semantic HTML headings (h1, h2, h3) in logical order.
- Touch targets on mobile are a minimum of 44 × 44 CSS pixels.
- Arabic content is served with
dir=“rtl”and the appropriate OpenType font features. - No content flashes more than three times per second (seizure safe).
Known limitations
Some photographic content — particularly older portfolio photographs taken in the field — may not yet have detailed alt descriptions. I am working through this backlog. If you encounter a photo without adequate description, please let me know and I will prioritise it.
Video content, where it appears, does not yet have captions or audio descriptions. This is planned for a future update.
Standards and guidelines
This site targets conformance with:
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA
- WAI-ARIA 1.2 for interactive components
- HTML 5 semantic structure
