About this site

This site is my portfolio and a place to gather musings, learnings and case studies in one place. It's also a working experiment — I use it to learn in public and practice what I preach on accessibility and design quality.

How it's built

The site is built with Astro 6 and styled with Tailwind CSS v4. Content is written in Markdown. Source code is hosted on GitHub and deployed via GitHub Pages with a custom domain.

It was previously built in Notion and hosted via Super.so. The migration to Astro resolved all previously known accessibility issues on the old site.

This accessibility statement applies to mussond.com.

My commitment

I want as many people as possible to be able to use this site. That means, among other things, you should be able to:

Navigate all content using a keyboard alone
Navigate using a screen reader
Zoom in up to 400% without content breaking or losing information
Switch between light, dark, or system theme
Switch between low and high contrast, or follow your system's contrast preference
Turn off the site's decorative visual layer, down to a plain unstyled page if you want it
Use the site with motion reduced, respecting your OS preference

Display settings

Display settings live in the footer of every page — press Alt+T to jump straight to them — and your choices persist between visits.

Theme: light, dark, or system (matches your OS setting).
Contrast: low, high, or system (matches your OS contrast preference).
Flourish: full (the decorative layer — page glow, headline highlight, hover animations), minimal (a plain, quiet version with the decorative layer and motion removed), or raw (the site's stylesheet is switched off entirely, so you see unstyled HTML; the display controls stay operable so you can switch back at any time).

Compliance status

This site aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. I run automated checks with axe-core and supplement these with manual testing.

Known issues

I'm not aware of any current WCAG 2.2 Level AA failures. If you find one, please let me know.

Reporting accessibility issues

If you experience a barrier on this site, contact me on LinkedIn. I'll aim to respond within 5 working days.

Technical information

This site relies on the following technologies for conformance:

HTML
CSS
JavaScript (used only for progressive enhancements — the site functions without it)

Statement preparation

This statement was prepared in April 2026 and last reviewed in July 2026, following the site's visual redesign and the move to the Theme/Contrast/Flourish display settings above. It will be reviewed whenever significant changes are made to the site.
