Accessibility statement

Harmony aims to make its educational editorial site readable and navigable for people using different devices, browsers and assistive technologies. This statement is effective 22 September 2026 and applies to pages published from 10 Nambusunhwan-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea 06703.

1. Design approach

We use semantic headings, labelled controls, keyboard-accessible navigation and strong colour contrast. Layouts are responsive so content can be read without horizontal scrolling in ordinary conditions. Text remains the primary way information is communicated. Decorative styling is not intended to replace meaning.

2. Images

Editorial images include descriptive alternative text where an image conveys information. A decorative image may be omitted from the accessibility tree when its presence is not meaningful. Captions are used when context requires them. Readers can contact us if an alternative description is unclear.

3. Keyboard use

Navigation, disclosure controls, forms and cookie buttons are designed for keyboard operation. Focus should remain visible as a visitor moves through the page. The mobile menu exposes its expanded state. A browser or assistive technology can affect the final experience.

4. Content structure

Pages use a consistent header, main region and footer. Headings are arranged to support scanning, while tables include clear column labels. Links describe their destination rather than relying only on colour. Long policy pages include an internal contents panel where useful.

5. Motion and preferences

Harmony does not depend on animation to communicate a message. Smooth scrolling is a convenience and the site remains usable when motion is reduced or disabled by the browser. Cookie choices are explicit. No autoplay video is required for reading.

6. Forms

The contact form labels each field and identifies required information through browser validation. A successful submission displays a clear confirmation message. Visitors should not send private keys or sensitive credentials. If the form is not usable, phone contact is available at +82-2-758-3942.

7. Known limitations

Some third-party browser features and generated image replacements may not be fully predictable. Very old browsers may not expose every semantic enhancement. PDF or linked external material may have its own limitations. We prioritise issues that block access to editorial meaning.

8. Testing

We review keyboard navigation, headings, contrast and responsive layouts during material updates. Testing is practical rather than a claim of perfection. A reported problem is added to the editorial maintenance queue. Changes are evaluated against the live page, not only a design file.

9. Feedback

Send accessibility feedback through contact.php or to the address at 10 Nambusunhwan-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea 06703. Describe the page, device, browser and barrier if known. We aim to acknowledge a report during Korean business hours. Do not include passwords or private keys.

10. Review history

This statement was reviewed on 22 September 2026. The next routine review is planned for September 2027, with earlier review after a major site change. Material updates will carry a new date. The goal is continuous improvement rather than a static compliance claim.

Harmony treats accessibility as an ongoing publishing practice rather than a one-time technical label. Articles are structured with descriptive headings, meaningful link text, readable contrast, keyboard-friendly controls, and alternative text for informative images. A visitor should be able to understand the main topic, source context, and educational disclaimer without relying on a visual layout alone.

Some third-party pages, archived documents, browser settings, or externally hosted media may not respond in the same way as the main site. If a chart, table, image, or interaction creates a barrier, please describe the page and the specific problem so the editorial team can offer an accessible explanation or an equivalent text route. We avoid requesting sensitive personal information in accessibility reports.

Requests may be sent to 10 Nambusunhwan-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea 06703 or +82-2-758-3942. We aim to acknowledge a report within five business days and provide an initial response within 15 business days. A resolved report may be retained for up to 24 months for service improvement and accountability.

The accessibility statement is effective 22 September 2026. Changes to templates, standards, assistive technology support, or contact procedures will be reflected in a future dated revision. Visitors may also use their operating system, browser, zoom, captions, or screen-reader settings to adapt the experience.

Accessibility is treated as an ongoing publishing practice rather than a one-time statement. Harmony aims to maintain meaningful focus order, descriptive link text, readable contrast, responsive layouts, and content that remains understandable when visual styling is reduced. The principal information on a page should remain available through text, including the educational nature of the publication and its contact route.

Third-party pages, archived documents, browser extensions, and embedded services may behave differently from the main templates. If a table, image, control, or document creates a barrier, a visitor may request an equivalent explanation or alternative route. Reports should identify the page and barrier without including medical details, passwords, or other unnecessary personal information.

Harmony aims to acknowledge a report within five business days and provide an initial response within 15 business days. A resolved report may be retained for up to 24 months to track recurring issues and document the action taken.

The statement is effective 22 September 2026. Future revisions may address templates, assistive technology support, captions, alternative text, keyboard handling, or contact procedures and will show a dated change note. Visitors may also use browser zoom, operating-system contrast settings, captions, reduced-motion preferences, or a screen reader to adapt the experience.
