Accessibility.
What we build to, what is checked automatically on every commit, and what has not been verified yet.
Target
We build this site to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We are not claiming conformance to it. Conformance is a measured result, and no independent audit of this site has been carried out — so the honest statement is the target plus the evidence below.
Enforced in the build
- Colour contrast. Every text pairing in the stylesheet is recomputed against a 4.5:1 floor on every build and in CI. The build fails below it. This is a gate, not a review.
- Reduced motion. The animated elements on the home page hold still under
prefers-reduced-motion: reduce, and are drawn in their finished state rather than disappearing. - The animated field is optional. The generative wattle field on the home page is decorative and carries no information. It never loads at all under reduced motion, on Data Saver or a slow connection, on a small screen, or on a lower-powered device — a hand-drawn version is already on screen before that decision is made, and nothing waits for it.
- Motion you can stop. The home page carries a Pause motion control. The wattle spray moves on its own and keeps moving past five seconds, which under WCAG 2.2.2 needs a way to stop it — and a system-level motion preference does not discharge that, because it only serves readers who set one in advance.
- Text resizing and zoom. Layouts use relative units throughout and are checked down to a 320 pixel viewport without horizontal scrolling.
- Keyboard access. Every control is a real button or link, there is a skip link to the main content, and one focus style is used site-wide.
- Structure. One
h1per page, headings in order, named landmarks, and alternative text on every image that carries meaning. Decorative graphics — the wattle sprig and the mark — are hidden from assistive technology rather than described.
Not verified
- Screen-reader testing. This site has not been tested end to end with NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver by a person who uses one. Automated checks are not a substitute and we are not going to present them as one.
- Testing with people with disability. None has been commissioned. Nothing on this site has been reviewed by the people it most affects.
- Translated and plain-language versions. The site is English only, at roughly a secondary-school reading level. Given that our product matches people on the language their clinician speaks, an English-only company site is a gap we own rather than an oversight.
- Captions and transcripts. Not applicable today — there is no audio or video anywhere on this site. Any that is added ships with captions and a transcript or it does not ship.
