Statement
Accessibility statement
Accessibility is the whole point of this site, so we need to be clear about one unusual thing: parts of it are broken on purpose.
Some pages here are deliberately inaccessible
The lessons teach by example. The pages marked Testing (such as the keyboard practice page) contain real accessibility barriers placed there on purpose. They are training material, not a model to copy. The matching Fixed pages show the accessible version, and the Breakdown pages explain every problem.
What we aim to meet
The site frame and its real pages target WCAG 2.2 Level AA. That covers:
- the header, navigation, and footer
- the Home, About, and Breakdown pages
- every Fixed lesson page
- these Privacy, Terms, and Accessibility pages
These parts are built with semantic HTML, a visible keyboard focus indicator, a skip link, sufficient colour contrast, reduced-motion support, and very little JavaScript.
They are also checked automatically on every deploy with axe-core and HTML CodeSniffer at the WCAG 2.2 AA level, so a regression on a real page stops the build before it ships. The intentionally-broken practice pages are excluded from that check, by design.
What is intentionally not conformant
The pages labelled Testing are designed to fail specific success criteria so learners can find and repair them. The deliberate barriers in Lesson 01 (Keyboard) are:
- a control that is not keyboard focusable (WCAG 2.1.1)
- a link with no destination (WCAG 2.1.1)
- a removed focus indicator (WCAG 2.4.7)
- a scrambled tab order (WCAG 2.4.3)
- a menu that cannot be operated by keyboard (WCAG 2.1.1 and 4.1.2)
These are scoped to the practice pages only and are documented in full on the Breakdown page. Please do not treat them as guidance.
Reporting a real problem
If you find an accessibility problem with the site itself, meaning the frame or any page that is meant to be accessible rather than an intentional training barrier, we want to hear about it. Please contact us through Accessible.org.
