Accessibility statement

The standard

This site aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.

What the site does

• Every link and control works with a keyboard alone, and each one shows a visible focus outline.
• A skip link at the top of each page goes straight to the main content.
• Text contrast is at least 6.9:1 against its background, above the 4.5:1 the standard asks for. Button outlines and focus outlines are at least 3.9:1, above the required 3:1.
• Every photo has a text description, and decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers.
• The outfit buttons on the photo at the top of the home page are toggle buttons that announce whether they are on.
• Animation stops when your device is set to reduce motion, and the photo stops following your pointer.
• Sound plays only after you choose the Star Wars outfit, lasts under 3 seconds, and has a mute button the site remembers.
• The page reflows to a single column on small screens and at 400% zoom, with no sideways scrolling.
• No content flashes, and nothing plays on page load.

How it was tested

Before launch, the site was checked with automated testing (axe-core and the html-validate HTML checker), keyboard-only use, browser zoom up to 400%, the reduced-motion setting, and screen widths from 320 px to 1920 px.

Known limitations

The photo at the top of the home page follows your mouse pointer. The effect is decorative and carries no information.

Links to LinkedIn, Facebook, Meetup, and YouTube go to sites I don't control, and their accessibility may differ from this site.
