Accessibility

This site aims to work for everyone, on any device, with or without a mouse, a screen or perfect vision.

My target

I aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

What I do

  • All text meets AA colour contrast in both the light (“paper”) and dark (“microscope”) themes.
  • Everything works with a keyboard; focus is always visible; there is a “skip to content” link.
  • Every illustration has a text description; charts come with the numbers behind them.
  • Colour is never the only way information is shown. Evidence labels use a symbol, a word and a colour.
  • Animations respect your device’s “reduce motion” setting.
  • Basics are explained in plain language in Explore, each with a labelled picture and a short animation with a pause button.
  • The body typeface, Atkinson Hyperlegible, was designed for low-vision readers.

Known limitations

  • 3D models are best understood visually. Each has a written description and labelled hotspots.
  • Augmented reality depends on your phone’s capabilities.
