Accessibility Statement

Website: www.tylerschroeder.net Organization: Tyler Schroeder Statement last updated: May 17, 2026

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Tyler Schroeder is committed to ensuring that this website is accessible to all people, including individuals with disabilities. Accessibility is a core value of inclusive digital design, and this site strives to provide an experience that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for every visitor — regardless of ability or the assistive technology they use.

Conformance Status

This website aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the internationally recognized benchmark for digital accessibility and the standard referenced by major legal frameworks including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

Conformance level: We aim for partial to substantial conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This site has not undergone a formal third-party accessibility audit; self-assessment and best-effort remediation practices are ongoing.

This website has been developed with the following laws and frameworks in mind:

  • Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title III — Requires that websites of public accommodations be accessible to people with disabilities. The U.S. Department of Justice’s 2024 final rule codifies WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the technical standard.
  • Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794d) — Establishes accessibility requirements for electronic and information technology. WCAG 2.1 Level AA aligns with and largely satisfies Section 508 obligations.
  • Minnesota State Accessibility Standard (Minn. Stat. § 16E.03) — Minnesota adopted WCAG 2.1 Level AA as its digital accessibility standard, effective July 1, 2024, building on its earlier WCAG 2.0 baseline.
  • European Accessibility Act (EAA, Directive 2019/882) — In force for covered services since June 28, 2025. Although this is a personal portfolio website and not a commercial service in the EAA’s primary scope, this statement is structured to align with Annex V information requirements as a matter of best practice and transparency.
  • EU Web Accessibility Directive (Directive 2016/2102) — Applicable to EU public sector bodies. Included here as a reference standard whose model accessibility statement practices have informed this document.
  • W3C WAI Accessibility Statement Guidance — Best-practice guidance from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative has been applied throughout.

What This Website Is and How It Works

tylerschroeder.net is a personal professional portfolio website. It presents Tyler Schroeder’s work history, professional experience, core competencies, certifications, tools expertise, and contact information. The site contains primarily static text content organized under semantic headings, with no e-commerce, account creation, video streaming, or dynamic application functionality.

To use this website accessibly, a visitor needs only a web browser and/or the assistive technology of their choice. No special plugins, accounts, or software are required. The site is designed to be navigable by keyboard alone and to function with common screen readers.

Technical Specifications

This website relies on the following technologies for its content and accessibility features:

  • HTML5 — Semantic markup for structure and meaning
  • CSS3 — Visual presentation
  • JavaScript — Minimal use; core content does not depend on JavaScript being enabled

The website has been tested and is expected to work with the following combinations of browsers and assistive technologies:

  • Chrome (latest) with NVDA (Windows)
  • Safari (latest) with VoiceOver (macOS and iOS)
  • Firefox (latest) with NVDA (Windows)

Note: Compatibility with all browser and assistive technology combinations cannot be guaranteed. If you encounter difficulties in a specific environment, please contact us using the information below.

Known Limitations

While substantial effort has been made to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, some known or potential limitations may exist:

  • No formal third-party audit has been completed. Self-assessment has been used to identify and address issues, but some non-conformances may remain undetected.
  • Third-party content and platforms — Links to external websites (such as LinkedIn or employer sites) are not controlled by this site and may not conform to the same accessibility standards.
  • PDF or document downloads, if any are added to the site in the future, will be remediated for accessibility at the time of publication.

This site does not currently include video, audio, or complex interactive components; issues associated with those content types do not apply at this time.

Measures Taken to Support Accessibility

The following practices are employed to maintain and improve accessibility on this site:

  • Semantic HTML5 structure with logical heading hierarchy (H1–H3)
  • Sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background
  • All meaningful images include descriptive alt attributes

  • The site is fully keyboard navigable
  • Content is written in plain language to support readability for all users, including those with cognitive disabilities
