Purpose and Content

Nervous-Energy.org is a private website presenting information about original feature-film screenplays. No consumer products or paid services are offered.

Legal Scope

Because we have no employees and annual revenue well below €2 million, the site is not subject to the mandatory requirements of the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG).
Nevertheless, we voluntarily align with:

  • EN 301 549 (WCAG 2.1, Level AA)
  • BITV 2.0 (German Regulation on Accessible ICT)

Current Accessibility Status

A self-assessment on 23 June 2025 found the site partially accessible.

Implemented

  • Logical heading hierarchy
  • Keyboard-operable main navigation
  • Optional OneTap widget for text and colour adjustments

Known Barriers

  • Missing or non-descriptive ALT text on several thumbnails
  • Absent lang attribute in the HTML root element
  • No skip link; low-visibility focus outline
  • Some grey meta text below minimum contrast

Planned Improvements & Timeline

  • Add meaningful ALT text to all images – 31 Dec 2025
  • Insert lang attribute and skip link; improve focus styles – 31 Dec 2025
  • Increase colour contrast in footer/meta areas – 31 Dec 2025

Target: voluntary WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by 30 Jun 2026.

Evaluation Methods

Automated tools: axe DevTools, WAVE, OneTap live checker
Manual tests: keyboard-only navigation, NVDA (Windows) & VoiceOver (macOS)
Re-evaluation cycle: annually each June

Feedback

We welcome reports of accessibility issues and aim to reply within five working days.
