Accessibility
Effective
We want everyone to be able to use this website. It is built to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, and we keep testing it as we add pages.
What we do
- Semantic page structure with one heading per page and a logical outline, so screen readers can navigate by heading.
- A skip link to the main content as the first focusable element on every page.
- Every interactive element reachable by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator, and menus that close with Escape.
- Text that meets a 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background, including text over photographs.
- Descriptive alternative text on meaningful images and empty alternative text on decorative ones.
- Form fields with labels, required fields announced, and errors linked to the fields they describe.
- Animation that is switched off entirely when your device asks for reduced motion.
- Layouts that work from small phones to large screens, with touch targets at least 44 pixels.
