Introduction
Dollar Professor is committed to making financial education as accessible, readable, and usable as reasonably possible for all visitors.
I created DollarProfessor.com to help everyday people understand money in a clearer and more practical way. That purpose only works if the website itself is easy for people to access, navigate, read, and use. Accessibility is not just a technical requirement to me. It is part of making financial education fairer, calmer, and more useful for real people.
This Accessibility Statement explains the standards I aim to follow, the steps I take to improve accessibility, the known limitations that may exist, and how visitors can contact me if they experience a problem using this website.
My Commitment to Accessibility
Financial Education Should Be Easier to Reach
Dollar Professor is built around the idea that personal finance should not feel confusing or closed off. Visitors may come to this site with different levels of financial knowledge, different devices, different reading needs, and different physical, visual, auditory, cognitive, or motor abilities.
My goal is to create a website experience that supports as many people as possible. This means paying attention to clear writing, logical page structure, readable design, useful navigation, and technical accessibility improvements.
Accessibility Is an Ongoing Process
Accessibility is not something that can be finished once and forgotten. Websites change over time. New pages are added, plugins are updated, design elements change, and accessibility standards continue to develop.
For that reason, I treat accessibility as an ongoing responsibility. I aim to review and improve Dollar Professor regularly so the site becomes easier to use over time.
Accessibility Standards I Aim to Follow
WCAG Guidance
Dollar Professor aims to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, commonly known as WCAG, where reasonably possible for a small independent website.
My goal is to work toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA alignment for core website pages and content. This means I aim to make the website more perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for visitors using different devices, browsers, and assistive technologies.
The POUR Principles
The accessibility approach used on Dollar Professor is guided by four practical principles:
- Perceivable: Visitors should be able to access the information on the page, including through readable text, clear structure, and useful alternatives for non-text content.
- Operable: Visitors should be able to move around the website and interact with page elements without unnecessary barriers.
- Understandable: Content, navigation, and page layouts should be clear, predictable, and easy to understand.
- Robust: The website should work as reliably as possible across modern browsers, devices, and assistive technologies.
Accessibility Features and Practices
Clear Content Structure
I aim to use clear page headings, subheadings, paragraphs, lists, and links so that content is easier to scan and understand. This helps visitors who read visually, visitors using screen readers, and visitors who prefer structured pages.
On Dollar Professor, financial topics are explained in plain English where possible. I try to avoid unnecessary jargon, and when important financial terms are used, I aim to explain them clearly.
Readable Design
I aim to use readable fonts, sensible spacing, clear layouts, and good contrast between text and background colors. This helps visitors who may have low vision, eye strain, reading difficulties, or who are using the site on smaller screens.
I also try to avoid design choices that make financial education harder to understand, such as cluttered layouts, unnecessary visual distractions, or text that is too small to read comfortably.
Keyboard and Navigation Access
I aim to make key areas of the website usable with keyboard navigation where possible. This includes working toward clear focus states, logical navigation order, and accessible menus or interactive elements.
Keyboard accessibility is important for visitors who do not use a mouse, including people using alternative input devices or assistive technology.
Images and Alternative Text
Where images are used on Dollar Professor, I aim to provide meaningful alternative text when the image adds useful information. Decorative images may not always need detailed descriptions, but important images should be described in a way that helps visitors understand their purpose.
For financial education content, I aim to make sure important information is not communicated only through an image, chart, color, or visual design element without a text-based explanation.
Videos, Audio, and Embedded Content
If Dollar Professor uses videos, audio, or embedded media, I aim to support accessibility through captions, transcripts, summaries, or other text alternatives where reasonably possible.
Some embedded content may be controlled by third-party platforms, which can limit what I am able to change directly. Even so, I aim to choose and present embedded content in a way that supports accessibility as much as practical.
Testing and Improvement
Manual and Automated Checks
I understand that accessibility cannot be confirmed by one tool alone. Automated scans can help identify common problems, but they cannot judge everything a real visitor experiences.
For that reason, I aim to use a combination of practical checks, including reviewing page structure, checking readability, testing links and navigation, looking for contrast issues, reviewing image text alternatives, and using accessibility tools where appropriate.
Elementor and WordPress Accessibility Tools
Dollar Professor is built using WordPress and Elementor. Where possible, I aim to use accessible design practices within these tools, including proper heading structure, readable layouts, keyboard-friendly navigation, and compatibility with assistive technologies.
I may also use accessibility scanning tools or plugins to help identify issues, track improvements, and make the website easier to use. These tools can support accessibility work, but they do not replace human review or guarantee full compliance.
Known Limitations
Areas That May Need Improvement
Dollar Professor is an evolving website, and some parts of the site may not yet be fully accessible. Possible limitations may include older pages that need further review, third-party embedded content, plugin-generated features, forms, affiliate links, downloadable files, or images that may need improved alternative text.
I am working to improve these areas over time. When I find accessibility issues, I aim to fix the most important barriers first, especially issues that make it difficult for visitors to read content, navigate the site, or use important website features.
Third-Party Content
Some parts of Dollar Professor may include links to third-party websites, embedded content, external tools, or services that I do not fully control.
While I try to use reputable and user-friendly resources, I cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party websites or platforms. If you experience difficulty with third-party content accessed through Dollar Professor, you are welcome to let me know so I can review whether there is a better way to present or link to that material.
Feedback and Contact
Tell Me About Accessibility Problems
If you have difficulty accessing any part of DollarProfessor.com, I would appreciate hearing from you. Accessibility feedback helps me understand real user barriers that automated tools may not detect.
When contacting me, please include the page URL, a short description of the problem, the device and browser you were using, and any assistive technology involved if you are comfortable sharing that information.
How to Contact Me
You can contact me through the Dollar Professor contact page or by using the email address provided on the website.
I aim to review accessibility feedback carefully and respond within a reasonable time. Where a fix is possible, I will aim to make improvements as part of the ongoing maintenance of the website.
Ongoing Accessibility Goals
Practical Improvements
My ongoing accessibility goals include improving page structure, checking color contrast, adding or improving alternative text, reviewing forms and buttons, keeping navigation clear, and making content easier to read on desktop and mobile devices.
I also aim to keep financial education content clear and understandable. Accessibility is not only about code. It is also about writing in a way that helps people learn without unnecessary confusion.
A Better Experience for Everyone
Accessible design helps many different people, including visitors with permanent disabilities, temporary injuries, age-related changes, slower internet connections, smaller screens, or busy environments where reading and navigation need to be simple.
By improving accessibility, I am also improving the overall experience of Dollar Professor for every visitor.
