What we aim for
This site targets WCAG 2.2 level AA. Under the Equality Act 2010 we are expected to make reasonable adjustments so that disabled people can use this site, and that is the standard we build to.
What has been done
- Semantic HTML with a single page heading and no skipped heading levels.
- A skip-to-content link as the first thing a keyboard user reaches.
- Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus ring.
- Body and interface text is checked against the 4.5:1 contrast minimum; large text against 3:1.
- Every form field has its own visible label, so nothing relies on a placeholder.
- Form errors are announced, described by the field they belong to, and focus moves to the first problem on submit.
- The scrolling venue strip, the film grain and all transitions stop when your device asks for reduced motion. The header video is the exception. See below.
- Audio never plays without you pressing play.
- Images carry descriptive alternative text, or are marked decorative where a nearby label already says the same thing.
Known limitations
-
The header video plays on every device and does not stop for the
"reduce motion" setting. This is a deliberate choice by the site owner.
If moving imagery is a problem for you, most browsers can stop it: in Safari,
Settings → Websites → Auto-Play → Never Auto-Play; in Firefox,
set
media.autoplay.defaultto block in about:config; in Chrome, enabling the data-saver or reduced-data setting will usually prevent it. We are sorry that the site itself does not offer this. - That video is silent, decorative and hidden from screen readers. No information is conveyed by it alone, and nothing on the site plays sound unless you press play.
- The site has not yet been tested end to end with a screen reader by a person who uses one daily. Automated and keyboard testing only.
- The recorded-mix player, once added, will be a third-party embed (SoundCloud or Mixcloud) whose accessibility we do not control.
