Accessibility statement
I believe good design should be understandable, usable, and accessible to as many people as possible. This statement explains how accessibility is considered across my portfolio, the standard I am working toward, and the limitations I am continuing to improve.
My commitment
My goal is to create a portfolio that can be explored by people with different abilities, devices, preferences, and ways of interacting with digital products.
This includes people who navigate using a keyboard, screen reader, browser zoom, voice control, reduced-motion settings, or other assistive technologies.
Accessibility is not treated as a final checklist. It is part of an ongoing process of reviewing the experience, identifying barriers, and improving the site as its content and components evolve.
Current approach
The site has been designed with accessibility considerations including:
A clear and consistent content hierarchy.
Semantic headings and meaningful page structure.
Descriptive links and controls.
Keyboard-accessible navigation and interactions.
Visible focus and interaction states.
Sufficient contrast between text, controls, and backgrounds.
Responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes and browser zoom.
Alternative text for meaningful images.
Reduced use of unnecessary motion.
Support for reduced-motion preferences where possible.
Clear language and concise content to reduce cognitive load.
Interactive components are designed to communicate their purpose and current state. ARIA labels, roles, and states are used where native HTML alone is not sufficient.
Content accessibility
My case studies often include product screens, prototypes, diagrams, research findings, and visual explanations.
Whenever possible, important information shown visually is also explained in the surrounding text, so understanding a project does not depend exclusively on an image, colour, animation, or interface mockup.
Documents available for download are also reviewed progressively to improve their structure, reading order, contrast, and compatibility with assistive technologies.
Known limitations
Some areas may not yet provide the level of accessibility I am working toward.
These may include:
Older or image-heavy case studies that require more detailed text alternatives.
Interactive prototypes embedded from third-party platforms.
External widgets or services whose accessibility I cannot fully control.
Videos or animations that may not yet include complete captions, transcripts, or audio descriptions.
Downloadable documents created before the current accessibility approach was established.
These limitations do not represent the desired final state of the portfolio. I am reviewing and improving them progressively.
Feedback
If you experience any difficulty accessing content or using part of this website, please contact me at hi@davidgopar.es.
It would be helpful if you could include:
The page or section where the problem occurred.
A brief description of what happened.
The browser, device, or assistive technology you were using.
I will use that information to understand the issue and improve the experience.
Continuous improvement and learning
Accessibility requirements, technologies, and user needs continue to evolve. I will review this statement and the portfolio periodically to identify regressions, resolve known issues, and improve the experience over time.
