Accessibility
Effective 2026-08-14
We want this site to be usable by everyone, including people using
assistive technology, keyboard-only navigation, or browsing under
constraints like low vision or limited motor control. Here is what we've
built toward and how to tell us when we've missed something.
Standard we target
We build to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That's the standard, not a
finish line we've declared complete — treat it as our stated bar, and let
us know where the site falls short of it.
What that looks like in practice
-
Color contrast. The palette used across the site has
been checked against WCAG contrast minimums for text against its
background, at both normal and large sizes.
-
Keyboard navigation. Every interactive element —
links, buttons, the contact form — can be reached and operated using
the keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator so you can always
tell where you are on the page.
-
Reduced motion. If your operating system is set to
reduce motion, this site honors that setting and turns off
non-essential animation.
-
Data in tables, not just charts. Where we present
figures as a chart or graph, the underlying numbers are also available
in a real, screen-reader-readable table — a chart alone is not an
accessible way to convey data, so it is never the only way we convey it.
Known limitations
Accessibility work is ongoing, not a one-time checklist. If you encounter
a page, control, or piece of content that doesn't work with your
assistive technology, that's useful information for us, not an
inconvenience to you.
Report a barrier
If something on this site is hard or impossible to use, tell us through
the contact form. Include the page you were on and what happened, and
we'll look into it directly.
