Accessibility | Jenny Wullich

For me, accessibility is first something human and only after that something technical. I can't control how someone perceives my site, so I leave the choice. This site is built by hand, and accessibility was thought in from the start, not bolted on afterwards.

What that means here, concretely

Clean, semantic HTML, the menu is a menu in the code too, headings are real headings, every content area is marked up as one.
A skip link right at the top straight to the navigation, so you don't have to tab through everything first.
Everything operable by keyboard, where the focus currently sits is clearly visible, and the order follows what you see.
All images carry alt texts, buttons carry labels a screen reader can read out.
Large, easily readable type that can be enlarged without anything breaking.
A colour and contrast switch, in case one mood suits you better than another.
Contrasts I don't leave to the eye but test through, colours that look accessible often aren't, and the other way round.
No cookies, no tracking, no login, pure HTML. That's not only calm to use, it's also secure.

The calm version

The site carries a few glowing effects. They look beautiful, but for people who don't see well they aren't ideal. That's why there's a switch, “Magic world on/off”, and behind it isn't a makeshift fallback but its own calm version: clearly separated areas, nothing shimmers, nothing glares. And no one has to land on the flickering version first and then go hunting for the switch: anyone who has set their system or browser to reduce motion gets the calm version automatically. The site reads that setting before anything is even rendered, so it starts out calm right away. Your choice is remembered and applies across all pages.

Who this is for

For far more people than most assume: for blind and visually impaired people, for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, for people who can't use a mouse, for cognitive or neurological conditions, from dyslexia to ADHD to the natural decline that comes with age. But also for the broken arm, the loud underground with no subtitles, the harsh sunlight on the display. A rule of thumb sums it up: accessibility is helpful for everyone, necessary for about a third, and indispensable for around a tenth, and a temporary limitation catches up with all of us sooner or later.

To be honest

One spot is deliberately playful: the animated constellation in the Logbuch can be rotated with the mouse. In the calm version it becomes a plain, fully keyboard-operable list of the same posts, so no one is left out. I'm continually learning here and making the site more accessible step by step. If you notice something that gets in the way, that's not a reproach, it's the most valuable feedback I can get.

I orient myself by the recognised guidelines (WCAG) without claiming formal conformance, this site keeps growing. Last updated: June 2026.
