About
Accessibility statement
What we aim for, what works, and what we still need to test.
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
What we have built in
- A skip link, landmarks and a logical heading order on every page.
- Visible focus indicators and controls at least 44 by 44 pixels where they are tapped.
- Text that reflows at 400% zoom without sideways scrolling.
- No motion that you cannot turn off; we respect your “reduce motion” setting.
- Section colours are always paired with a name; colour alone never carries meaning.
- The timeline is a plain, readable list. Filters are an optional extra that needs JavaScript; without them you see every entry.
- Charts have a full table alongside them.
- Glossary terms show a definition on hover, keyboard focus or tap, and link to the glossary.
- Dates marked “c.” are read out as “approximately”.
- Content notes are specific and appear before the content they describe.
Known issues
- Email addresses on this site are protected from spam robots by Cloudflare, the service that delivers the site. A small script restores each address in your browser. If JavaScript is switched off, or your browser or assistive technology reads the page before the script has run, you will see “[email protected]” instead of the address. Our address is contact at guidingexplained dot com.
What we still need to do
We have not yet tested the site with assistive technology. We plan to test with keyboard-only use, screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver and TalkBack), high-contrast modes and on slow connections, and to hold usability sessions with disabled users. We will update this statement when we have.
Tell us about a problem
If something does not work for you, email [email protected]. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do and what technology you use. If the address shows as “[email protected]”, see Known issues.
