<h1>Accessibility</h1>
<p>Our mission is to produce high-quality and free public domain ebooks, but none of that matters if people cant read them. Consequently, we put a great deal of effort into making sure that our ebooks are as accessible as possible, for both the books content and the supporting metadata.</p>
<section id="ebooks">
<h2>Our ebooks</h2>
<p>Our ebooks are built using semantic <abbr>XHTML</abbr>. All images and other non-textual content have alternative text to describe their contents, and where appropriate longer descriptions in a list of illustrations. All our ebooks are, to the best of our knowledge, compliant with <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/"><abbr>WCAG</abbr> 2.2</a> level AA and <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-a11y-11/">EPUB Accessibility 1.1</a>.</p>
<p>We use metadata to indicate the accessibility of our ebooks. Each title comes with an <a href="https://www.editeur.org/83/Overview/">ONIX</a> 3 declaration detailing its accessibility, and we also include <a href="https://schema.org">Schema.org</a> accessibility feature declarations in the package document.</p>
<p>Ebooks obtained from our website will never use any <abbr title="Digital Rights Management">DRM</abbr> technology so youre free to amend or process them to better fit your own needs.</p>

<h2>Our website</h2>
<p>Our website is built using valid semantic <abbr>XHTML</abbr>. Non-decorative images have alternative text to describe their contents. The site has a dark mode if preferred, and if youd like to override this you can do that from the <a href="https://standardebooks.org/settings">settings</a> page. To the best of our knowledge, the site is compliant with <abbr>WCAG</abbr> 2.2 level AA, with the exception of the newsletter sign-up page. If you cant use this and would like to receive a newsletter, please <a href="https://groups.google.com/g/standardebooks">contact the mailing list</a>.</p>
