Accessibility
PeerToSite is meant to be usable by everyone, on a desk or on a phone at a job site. This page says what we have done so far and where we know there is more to do.
What is in place
- Readable type. Text is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed by the Braille Institute so that similar characters such as I, l and 1, or O and 0, are easy to tell apart.
- Contrast. Text and its background are chosen to meet the WCAG 2 AA contrast level of 4.5 to 1.
- Keyboard use. Every link, button and field can be reached with the keyboard and shows a visible outline when it has focus. A "Skip to main content" link is the first stop on every page.
- Not colour alone. A status is always written as a word, never shown by colour only.
- Phones. Tables turn into one card per row on a narrow screen, so nothing needs sideways scrolling.
- Plain structure. Pages use headings, labels and landmarks so screen readers can move around them, and the site works without scripts for almost everything.
What we have not done yet
- PeerToSite has not had an independent accessibility audit, and we do not claim conformance with WCAG.
- Some error messages appear on a separate page rather than beside the field they concern.
- The site is in English only. A French version is planned.
