Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: July 18th 2026

Simply Susie's Story is committed to making our website accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy our content, learn about our story, listen to Stories With Susie, and connect with us — regardless of ability.

1. Our Commitment

We strive to ensure our website is designed, developed, and maintained in accordance with recognized accessibility standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, to the extent reasonably possible given the tools available on the Wix platform.

2. Accessibility Measures

We aim to support accessibility through:

• Clear and consistent site navigation

• Descriptive text alternatives for meaningful images, where feasible

• Readable text sizing, color contrast, and layout

• Compatibility with standard browser accessibility features

• Ongoing review and improvement of site content as the Site evolves

Because this Site is built using Wix's website-builder platform, some accessibility features (such as keyboard navigation, screen-reader compatibility, and semantic structure) are governed in part by Wix's underlying platform tools and templates. Wix maintains its own accessibility features and guidelines, which we rely on as part of our overall commitment to accessibility.

3. Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some parts of the Site may not yet be fully accessible. This can include, for example, embedded third-party content (such as podcast players or social media feeds), images without complete alternative text, or older content that has not yet been fully reviewed. We are actively working to identify and correct these issues over time.

4. Feedback and Assistance

We welcome feedback on the accessibility of Simply Susie's Story. If you encounter a barrier, have difficulty accessing any content, or need information in an alternative format, please let us know so we can assist you and work to improve the Site.

Email: Simplysusiesstory@gmail.com Phone: 970-294-9752

When contacting us, please include:

• The web page or feature you were trying to access

• A description of the problem

• The browser and device you were using (if known)

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback in a timely manner and will make reasonable efforts to provide the information or service you need through an alternative method if a barrier cannot be immediately resolved.

5. Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, not a one-time fix. We will continue to review our Site periodically and make updates as needed to improve the experience for all visitors.

Disclaimer: This Privacy Policy and Accessibility Statement are provided as general templates and do not constitute legal advice. Depending on your location, the nature of your data collection, and applicable laws (such as GDPR, CCPA, or ADA/WCAG requirements), you may need to consult with an attorney to ensure full legal compliance.
