ABOUT · ACCESSIBILITY
Everyone gets in
We aim for WCAG 2.2 Level AA across this site, and we build tools so other sites can get there too.
Aiming isn't the same as arriving. Below is what we've done, where we know we fall short, and how to tell us about anything we missed.
WHAT'S BUILT IN
On every page
TYPE
A font made for reading
Body text is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed by the Braille Institute so similar letters are easy to tell apart.
A+ TOOLBAR
Your settings, your way
The Accessibility Toolbar offers a dyslexia-friendly font, extra spacing, high contrast, a reading guide, underlined links, read aloud and more. Your choices stick between visits.
KEYBOARD
No mouse required
Everything works from the keyboard, with a visible focus outline so you can always see where you are. The toolbar has its own Ctrl+Alt shortcuts.
CONTRAST
Colors checked, not guessed
Small orange text uses a darker shade on light backgrounds so it clears the 4.5:1 contrast ratio. Brand colors never carry meaning on their own.
MOTION
Calm when you ask
If your device is set to reduce motion, our animations, smooth scrolling and hover effects switch off.
IMAGES
Described, or quiet
Meaningful images get alt text. Decorative ones are hidden from screen readers so they don't add noise.
KNOWN LIMITS
Where we're still working
- THIRD-PARTY CODE
- This site runs on Joomla with a commercial template. Some of that markup isn't ours to edit, so we patch what we can with our own Accessibility Attribute Patch plugin.
- LIVE DEMOS
- Tool demo pages show modules in action and may change often. If a demo trips you up, tell us and we'll fix it.
- READ ALOUD
- Read aloud uses your browser's built-in speech. Voice choice and quality depend on your browser and device.
