Accessibility
Built to work on any device, on a slow connection
Many of the people this site is for use older phones, screen readers, or a shared computer at a library. That is the baseline we design for.
The standard
We build to WCAG 2.2 level AA. That is a target we hold ourselves to continuously, not a certificate we claim once.
Already in place
- Every page works from the keyboard, with a visible focus outline
- A skip link to the main content on every page
- Touch targets sized for real fingers, and a single-column layout on small screens
- Text contrast checked against AA, with gold reserved for borders and large text
- Animation removed for people who ask their device to reduce motion
- Form fields with real labels, and errors explained in words rather than colour
- Plain language, and status shown as text as well as colour
Not finished yet
- Screen reader testing across the full site is not complete
- Translations other than English are not yet reviewed or published
- Accessibility details for listed programs depend on what providers report
