Accessibility statement

Scope

This accessibility statement applies to the website emma-nord.de.

Legal basis and legal classification

Since June 28, 2025, the requirements of the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz, BFSG) have applied. The act implements the European Directive (EU) 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements for products and services into German law.

The BFSG obliges certain businesses to offer the products and services covered by the act in an accessible form. This may include, in particular, certain services in electronic commerce.

Emma Nord is not a public body within the meaning of the German Disability Equality Act (Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz). The obligations of the Disability Equality Act and the Barrier-Free Information Technology Ordinance 2.0 (BITV 2.0) therefore do not apply to this website.

The Emma Nord website currently serves primarily to provide personal, editorial, informational and creative content, as well as a way to get in touch without obligation.

Direct online purchases, online payments or binding contracts are not currently offered via the website.

In addition, Emma Nord is operated as a micro-enterprise within the meaning of § 2 No. 17 BFSG. Micro-enterprises that offer or provide services are exempt from the corresponding obligations of the Accessibility Strengthening Act pursuant to § 3(3) BFSG.

This accessibility statement is therefore published voluntarily.

My aim

It matters to me that the content of Emma Nord can be perceived and used by as many people as possible.

That’s why I try to make the website understandable, clearly structured and as accessible as possible. Existing barriers are to be reduced step by step, within my technical, financial and organizational means.

Description of the website

Emma Nord is a personally run blog and website on the topics of healing, self-care, art, personal growth and Sweden.

The website offers, in particular, the following content:

  • personal blog posts and accounts of my experiences,
  • information and inspiration all about Sweden,
  • content on healing, self-care and personal growth,
  • a presentation of my own artwork,
  • images, videos and creative content,
  • links to social networks,
  • ways to get in touch for questions and non-binding inquiries.

Measures to improve accessibility

When designing and developing the website, care is taken wherever possible to:

  • write content clearly and understandably,
  • structure pages with headings, paragraphs and easy-to-follow layouts,
  • keep sufficient spacing between texts and controls,
  • provide relevant images with descriptive alternative text,
  • label links clearly and as unambiguously as possible,
  • adapt the layout to different screen sizes and mobile devices,
  • not convey information through color alone,
  • allow text to be enlarged in general,
  • gradually improve operability with the keyboard and with assistive technologies.

Within the technical possibilities of the content management system used, the design follows the basic principles of digital accessibility: perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.

Currently known limitations

The website is strongly image- and design-oriented. For this reason, the following limitations in particular may currently exist:

  • Some older images or decorative graphics may not yet have complete or sufficiently descriptive alternative text.
  • Some graphics contain lettering or decorative text elements whose content is not fully available as separate text.
  • Handwritten or decorative fonts may be harder for some people to read.
  • Contrast may be limited for some color combinations or for text placed over images.
  • Older videos may not have subtitles, transcripts or audio descriptions.
  • Content and features from external providers, in particular Instagram, YouTube or other linked platforms, are outside my direct control.
  • Some features of the WordPress theme or plugins in use may have limitations when used with a keyboard or a screen reader.

I try to take these points into greater account with new content and to gradually improve existing content as far as I can.
