Our Commitment
to Accessibility

Conformance Status

WCAG 2.2 Level AA

We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more user-friendly for all people.

Measures We Take

What We've Done

• Keyboard navigation: Every interactive element — navigation, menus, links, and buttons — is operable using a keyboard alone. A visible focus indicator appears on each one, and the About menu can be opened with Enter and dismissed with Escape.
• Skip link: A "Skip to main content" link appears at the top of every page, letting keyboard and screen reader users bypass repeated navigation.
• Color contrast: Every text element on every page was measured against its actual rendered background, at both desktop and mobile widths, and meets or exceeds the 4.5:1 ratio WCAG AA requires for normal text (3:1 for large text). Focus indicators and interface borders meet the 3:1 ratio required for non-text elements.
• Focus stays visible: A focused control is never hidden behind the fixed header when the browser scrolls it into view (WCAG 2.2's Focus Not Obscured).
• Target size: Interactive controls are at least 24 by 24 pixels, or are spaced far enough apart to meet the same requirement.
• Dismissible menus: The About menu can be closed with the Escape key even when it was opened by hovering, without moving the pointer.
• Zoom and text spacing: Every page reflows without horizontal scrolling or clipped content at 400% zoom (a 320 pixel viewport), and with increased line, letter, and word spacing applied.
• Text alternatives: Meaningful images include descriptive alt text. Decorative images use an empty alt attribute so screen readers skip them.
• Semantic structure: Pages use landmark elements (nav, main, footer), heading levels that follow in order without skipping, and ARIA attributes where a control's purpose is not conveyed by its markup alone.
• Links that leave the site: Links opening in a new tab announce that fact to screen reader users, so the change of context is never a surprise.
• Reduced motion: Animations and transitions are suppressed for users who have indicated a preference for reduced motion via their operating system settings.
• Language: The page language is declared (lang="en") so screen readers use the correct pronunciation rules.

Known Limitations

Areas Under Review

We would rather name our gaps than imply we have none. These items are open:

• Screen reader testing: Our markup is built to screen reader standards, but we have not yet completed hands-on testing with NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver. This is our next priority.
• Automated versus human testing: Our contrast, reflow, focus and target-size checks are measured programmatically against the rendered pages. Automated checks cannot judge whether alt text is good, whether reading order makes sense, or whether a heading is honest about the section it labels. Those need a person.
• Video captions: Our films are hosted on YouTube and not all of them carry accurate captions or audio description. We are working through the catalogue.
• Third-party services: Donations are processed by PayPal on their own pages. We do not control the accessibility of that checkout flow.
