Accessibility

Our aim

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA across the whole site, and to go further where it helps our readers most, such as text size and contrast.

What we have done

• Larger text. The Larger text button at the top of every page makes all the text bigger, and remembers your choice. Your browser's own zoom (Ctrl and +) works too.
• Readable type. Body text uses Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed by the Braille Institute so that letters are easy to tell apart. Even the zero has a small slash through it, so it cannot be mistaken for the letter O. Text is set at a comfortable size with short line lengths.
• Strong contrast. Body text is much darker than the minimum the guidelines require.
• Large targets. Buttons, links and tick boxes are big enough to press easily with a finger or an unsteady mouse.
• Keyboard access. Everything can be reached with the Tab key, with a clearly visible focus outline, and there is a "Skip to main content" link.
• Screen readers. Pages use proper headings, labeled controls and descriptive link text.
• Less motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, the site turns off its animation.
• Printing. Guides print cleanly, with web addresses written out, so you can follow them on paper while your computer restarts.

Known limitations

Some tables in comparison guides are wide, so on a small phone you may need to scroll them sideways. We are working on simpler layouts for those.
