Accessibility
Last updated: July 13, 2026
Alexander Bernhardt Publishing Co. South Africa is committed to making our website accessible and usable for all people, including persons with disabilities. We aim to follow recognised accessibility best practices and to conform, as far as reasonably possible, to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA.
1. Conformance Status
Our website aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Although we continually work to improve accessibility and usability, some content, features, or third-party services may not yet fully conform to these standards.
2. Measures to Support Accessibility
To support and maintain accessibility, we:
- Use semantic HTML to provide a clear and logical document structure, including headings, lists, and page landmarks.
- Provide alternative text for meaningful images, icons, and graphics where appropriate.
- Aim to ensure that menus, forms, links, buttons, and interactive features can be operated using a keyboard.
- Design text, backgrounds, controls, and interactive elements with sufficient colour contrast.
- Provide clear labels and instructions for form fields and associate labels programmatically with their inputs where possible.
- Test selected pages and features with assistive technologies, including screen readers and keyboard-only navigation.
- Use Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes where necessary to communicate the role, state, and properties of interactive elements.
3. Third-Party Content & Plugins
Our website may use third-party services, tools, plugins, or integrations, including payment gateways, media players, embedded content, analytics tools, and social-media features. We aim to select providers that support accessibility. However, we may not have full control over the accessibility of third-party content or services. Where accessibility issues are identified, we will take reasonable steps to work with the relevant provider or offer an alternative method of accessing the information or service where practicable.
4. Known Limitations
Despite our efforts, certain parts of the website may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Examples may include:
- Embedded media players or third-party content that may not provide complete keyboard controls, transcripts, audio descriptions, or captions.
- Older PDF documents or downloadable files that may not be fully tagged or optimised for screen readers.
- Images, documents, or other legacy content that may not yet include complete accessibility information.
- Third-party or user-submitted content that may not include alternative text or a fully accessible structure.
- We intend to address identified limitations progressively and welcome feedback that helps us prioritise improvements.

6. Compatibility with Browsers & Assistive Technology
Our website is intended to work with current versions of commonly used browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, and with commonly used assistive technologies. For the best experience, we recommend using an up-to-date browser, operating system, and assistive technology. Some older browsers, devices, or software may not support all accessibility features.

Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. We:
- Review and test selected website pages, templates, and features for accessibility.
- Use a combination of automated testing and manual review where appropriate.
