Accessibility
This is the site's Accessibility page.
Goal is WCAG 2.2 AAA. No formal audit has been performed. Falling short on a few criteria. This does NOT constitute a Conformance Claim. It is an aspiration.
Features
🔖- Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) Landmark Roles are labelled.
- Hierarchical heading structure, without skipping levels.
- There is breadcrumb navigation on most pages...although it is not particularly helpful on a site with such a shallow hierarchical depth.
- Skip links.
- Only data tables; No layout tables.
Contrast
🔖Both the dark and light color schemes should have no color contrast issues with:
- Trichromacy (normal color vision)
with the following Dichromacy Color Vision Deficiencies (CVDs):
- Protanopia (red blindness)
- Deuteranopia (green blindness)
- Tritanopia (blue blindness)
and with Rod Monochromacy (RM) color vision deficiency (CVD):
- Achromatopsia (no color)
Based on the above, inferences could be drawn that there are no color contrast issues with the following Anomalous Trichromacy CVDs:
- Protanomaly (red weakness)
- Deuteranomaly (green weakness)
- Tritanomaly (blue weakness)
and with the following Cone Monochromacy (CM) CVDs:
- Blue Cone Monochromacy (BCM)
- Green Cone Monochromacy (GCM)
- Red Cone Monochromacy (RCM)
ISSUE: Both the dark and light color schemes have multiple issues with:
- Contrast sensitivity loss
NOTE: The above statements about contrast are made based on testing with the Firefox browser's Accessibility developer tool.
