Accessibility

At a glance

• The target is WCAG 2.2 level AA.
• Every page is checked with an automated accessibility test on every build, in the light and the dark scheme.
• Every page can be read with JavaScript off and used with a keyboard alone.
• Moving illustrations stop when the reader asks for reduced motion.

The answer

This site aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. Each build runs an automated accessibility check on every page in both colour schemes, checks that the main controls can be reached with a keyboard, and checks that every page keeps its full text with JavaScript off.

Illustrations

Every illustration has a text description written beside it, as real page text. The same description is what the Markdown twin carries. No meaning is carried by an illustration alone, and no state is shown by colour alone: every mark has a word.

Motion

Illustrations move only when motion is welcome. With reduced motion set, with JavaScript off, or with data saving on, each illustration shows a designed still picture instead. Moving pieces pause when they leave the screen.

What this does not cover

Automated checks find some problems, not all of them. This site has not had a manual audit with assistive technology yet.
