Accessibility Statement

Outdoor Awaits is a personal camping, hiking, and travel site. I want everyone to be able to read and use the content, including people who rely on assistive technology or alternative ways of navigating the web. I work to make this site as accessible and user-friendly as possible, and I keep improving it over time.

Accessibility goals

I aim to follow widely accepted accessibility best practices and, where practical, align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). I may not get everything perfect on every page, but accessibility is part of how I build and update the site.

What I’m doing to support accessibility

Here are some of the steps I take (or aim to take) across the site:

  • Readable layout: clear headings, simple paragraphs, and consistent page structure
  • Keyboard access: navigation and key features should work without a mouse
  • Text clarity: legible fonts, reasonable line spacing, and scannable formatting
  • Color and contrast: I try to keep text readable against backgrounds
  • Images: I add descriptive text (alt text) where it helps explain the content
  • Forms: I try to use clear labels and straightforward instructions
  • Media: when possible, I use videos with captions or provide a written summary

Known limitations

Some parts of the site may include third-party tools or embedded content (for example, video players, maps, social embeds, or ad/affiliate widgets). These elements are not always fully controlled by me and may have accessibility limitations that I cannot fix directly.

Need help or found an issue?

If you have trouble accessing any part of Outdoor Awaits, I want to know. Please tell me:

  1. the page URL (or page title)
  2. what you were trying to do
  3. what device/browser you used (optional, but helpful)
  4. what went wrong

You can contact me here or email me at outdoorawait@gmail.com

If you need the content in a different format, I’ll do my best to provide a reasonable alternative (for example, a plain-text version of a guide or a clearer step-by-step summary).
