Accessibility

Reading should not depend on a perfect device or perfect eyesight.

Aethel aims to remain usable with keyboards, screen readers, zoom, reduced motion, and narrow screens.

Responsibility

Hai Pham, Aethel’s owner and developer, is responsible for reviewing accessibility reports and making changes to the site. Aethel does not claim formal conformance with a specific accessibility standard based on code inspection alone.

Current support

The current implementation includes semantic landmarks, a skip link, visible focus states, labeled forms, keyboard-operable controls, responsive layouts, reduced-motion handling, printable article pages, and reader-controlled text sizing. Core article content is server-rendered and does not require client-side JavaScript to appear.

Known limits

Third-party advertising and consent interfaces, if enabled, may introduce controls outside Aethel’s direct design system. Automated checks and source review cannot replace testing with different browsers, assistive technologies, zoom levels, input methods, and real readers.

Report a problem

Use the contact form and select “Technical issue.” Include the page URL, browser, device, assistive technology, and the action that failed. Reports are stored for review, but Aethel does not promise a resolution date that cannot be guaranteed.
