Accessibility

What has been done

• Every text and background color pair meets WCAG’s contrast requirements, checked by calculation rather than by eye.
• Everything works with a keyboard, with a clearly visible focus outline and a "Skip to content" link at the top of each page. Buttons that jump down the page take the keyboard focus with them.
• Headings, labels and landmarks are structured for screen readers; form errors, website check results and anything the form fills in for you are announced.
• Motion is kept to a minimum and switches off entirely if you have asked your device to reduce motion. The one animation that plays on its own, in the headline, is over within five seconds.
• Buttons and stand-alone links are at least 44 pixels tall on touch screens. (Links inside a sentence follow the text size, as WCAG allows.)
• Pages are readable with JavaScript turned off, and text can be enlarged to 200% without breaking the layout.

How it is tested

Each page is checked with automated tools (axe-core and Google Lighthouse) and with scripted checks of keyboard-only use, reduced motion, text enlarged to 200% and a 320-pixel-wide screen.

Known limitations

The website check relies on Google PageSpeed Insights, which usually takes 15 to 30 seconds. Progress is announced when the check starts and when it finishes rather than continuously, so a screen reader stays quiet while it runs.

This statement covers this site only, not the websites of the services it uses, such as Google or Web3Forms.
