Accessibility

Designed to stay readable and keyboard-friendly.

The layout uses strong contrast, clear focus states, responsive type, and reduced-motion support.

Contrast

Readable foreground and background colors

The palette stays in the accessible range and avoids washed-out gray-on-gray combinations.

Keyboard

Visible focus states

Buttons, links, and navigation items keep a clear focus outline for keyboard users.

Motion

Reduced-motion support

Entrance effects are toned down automatically when the user prefers less motion.

Accessibility in daily use

The publication aims to keep its reading paths usable with a keyboard, visible focus states, readable contrast, responsive text, meaningful link labels, and reduced-motion support. Headings should describe the content that follows, and images should carry useful alternative text when they communicate information.

Accessibility is not a one-time visual check. New articles, images, embeds, forms, and navigation changes need the same care.

How to report a barrier

If a page is difficult to read, navigate, understand, or operate, send the URL and a short description of the problem through the contact route. Device, browser, keyboard, or assistive-technology details can help reproduce it.

Content quality and access

Accessible publishing also means writing clearly. Use descriptive headings, short paragraphs, informative link text, ordered lists where sequence matters, and captions or transcripts for media that carries important information. Avoid placing essential instructions only in colour, animation, or an image.

New article templates should be tested at different zoom levels and with a keyboard before they become the default.

Continuous improvement

Feedback from people who use the site in different ways is valuable. A barrier may involve a heading that does not describe its section, a control that cannot be reached, an image without context, or a contrast problem that appears only on a particular screen.
