Accessibility

This site is meant to be usable by everyone, including people using keyboards, screen readers, or zoom.

What we aim for

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA as a minimum target
• Text contrast of at least 7:1
• Controls at least 44 pixels tall and wide for touch
• Light and dark themes that are both fully supported
• Meaning shown through position, shape and text, never color alone

These are our targets. They aren’t a claim that the site conforms to WCAG.

How it’s checked

• Automated tests: each type of page is tested with automated accessibility tools in both themes, at phone, tablet and desktop widths. They also cover layouts at the sizes used for 200% and 400% zoom, a high contrast mode, and the keyboard paths through menus, search, the image viewer and the video player.
• Keyboard: the main pages and controls have been tested with the keyboard alone, including the menus, the theme options, search and its filters, the image viewer, the video player, and moving from the top of each page to the footer.
• Screen reader: the site has been tested with the NVDA screen reader in Chrome on Windows, including page titles, headings, landmarks, links, buttons, tables, search results and their announcements, the image viewer, and the video player.
• Zoom and display: pages have been tested at 200% and 400% browser zoom, with a larger default text size, with forced colors as used by Windows contrast themes (simulated in Chrome), in both themes, and in narrow windows down to 320 pixels wide.

Testing so far has used Chrome on Windows. We haven’t yet tested on a phone by touch, or with other browsers and screen readers. Testing catches many problems, but passing it doesn’t show that the site conforms to WCAG.

Known limits

Screenshots of Microsoft products show interfaces we don’t control. Each one has a text description, and the steps make sense without the screenshots.

Videos are optional, and the written steps don’t depend on them. They play in YouTube’s own player. Its main controls work with a keyboard and a screen reader, but its settings menu may not always respond to the keyboard as expected, and that menu is YouTube’s. Each video also has a link to open it on YouTube.

Consultations rely on other services: Calendly for booking, PayPal for payment, Microsoft Teams for the session, and OneDrive if you send files beforehand. We don’t control the accessibility of those services.
