Accessibility statement

The theme on this website appears to be old-school (199x) CSS doing skeuomorphic dot-matrix and other printer type output on different media that you would associate with 198x. It is visually distinctive.

However, it embraces contemporary (202x) technology to make it as accessible and usable for as many people as possible. You can change the “device” and the “media”, so from a 9-pin dot-matrix on zebra-ruled paper to high-resolution laser-writer on plain paper. Controls include accessible labeling and are validated through automated checks plus manual review.

The theme support dark/light mode, and more/less contrast.

If you find the skeuomorphic approach too much, try device “laser” on media “plain”.

Reader mode is supported for a cleaner view.

Scope

This statement applies to content published on this website.

Accessibility approach

The minimum target is to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria, and to implement applicable Level AAA criteria where feasible.

To help with this, our process includes:

  • automated accessibility checks on key routes and states
  • manual testing for keyboard and assistive technology behavior
  • issue triage and remediation as part of normal maintenance

Current status

Accessibility work is ongoing. We regularly test and improve this site.

Known limitations

Some parts of the site may not yet be fully accessible in every browser, device, or assistive technology combination. We are actively working on incremental improvements.

For the best experience, we recommend using current browser versions where possible.

JavaScript and fallback behavior

This website and theme use JavaScript to provide an enhanced, fluid experience.

However, if JavaScript is not available or is disabled, non-JavaScript fallbacks are provided. In such instances:

  • theme and contrast will be controlled by the browser or operating system and cannot be adjusted in-browser.
  • authentication and authorization may be less elegant, and may involve a few more clicks instead of being hands-off.

We also provide a print-friendly rendering to support reading comfort and alternative consumption, in addition to core web accessibility improvements.

Feedback and contact

If you encounter an accessibility barrier, contact us via the site contact page and include:

  • the page URL
  • what you were trying to do
  • your browser/device and any assistive technology used

We will review and prioritize fixes as quickly as possible.
