Accessibility statement

We believe reading should be accessible to all.

Discover inspiring stories and educational books for children across Africa.

Our commitment

BooksByAma is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability or technology. We aim to meet the recognised Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standard and continually improve the user experience for everyone.

Standards we follow

Our accessibility work is guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

Accessibility features

The BooksByAma website includes a number of features designed to improve accessibility:

  • Keyboard navigation: All pages and interactive elements can be used with a keyboard alone.
  • Skip links: A “Skip to main content” link is available on every page for screen-reader and keyboard users.
  • Semantic HTML: We use clear heading structures, landmarks, labels, and ARIA attributes where appropriate.
  • Readable text: Body text is sized and spaced to support readability, with good colour contrast.
  • Responsive design: Pages adapt to a wide range of screen sizes and devices, including zoom up to 200%.
  • Alternative text: Meaningful images include descriptive alt text, and decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
  • Consistent navigation: Menus, buttons, and links follow predictable patterns across the site.

How we test

We test our website using a combination of automated accessibility checkers, manual keyboard testing, and screen-reader review. Our team addresses reported issues as part of our regular development cycle.
