Accessibility

Last updated

This accessibility statement applies to craigabbott.co.uk.

Although this is a personal website and not covered by accessibility law, I want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. This means you can:

  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate all of the website using a keyboard
  • navigate all of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to all of the website using a screen reader
  • use forced colours mode or high contrast themes without losing content or functionality

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Compliance status

This website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard.

Contact information

I’m always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems please contact me and let me know. You can open an issue on GitHub or contact me via one of the following ways:

Forced colours mode

This website supports forced colours mode, sometimes known as Windows High Contrast Mode or Contrast Themes.

When forced colours mode is turned on, your operating system replaces the website’s colours with the palette you have chosen. This website respects that palette, and also makes sure that:

  • buttons and other interactive controls keep visible borders
  • links and controls show a visible outline when you hover over or focus on them
  • logos keep their own colours so they stay recognisable, and any text they contain adapts to stay readable
  • the theme toggle feature is removed, because your system settings decide the colours instead

Known issues

ARC Toolkit

  • On every page, ARC Toolkit incorrectly flags “insufficient large text contrast” on the heading level 1. This is a false positive, as ARC only appears to assess the background colours, and not the computed colour on the text outline, which is above 4.5:1.
  • On the lightbox component, when viewing images at full size, ARC incorrectly flags a “non-interactive element in the tab order”. This is a false positive. The element in question is a `
    ` containing the image, which is deliberately added to the tab order so that keyboard users can scroll the zoomed in image.
