Structure and navigation
One main heading and a clear heading order on every page, a skip link to the content, and keyboard access to every control. Nothing stays hidden if scripts fail to load.

How this site is built
Made to work with a keyboard, a screen reader or a small screen.
Interactive parts are real buttons and fields that say what state they are in, so a screen reader hears a question open or a filter switch on. Focus is visible on every control, and links say where they go.

What has been checked
Four areas, on every page
Reading and layout
Text keeps a comfortable size and never needs sideways scrolling, from a 320px phone to a wide desktop. Colour is never the only signal, and every status is also given in words.
Motion and scripts
Animation is kept small, and it turns off when your system is set to reduce motion. Pages are readable before any script loads, so a slow connection still shows the words.
Where gaps may remain
The site has not had a formal third-party audit or testing with people who use assistive technology. Automated and manual checks catch a lot but not everything, and your experience is the real test.
Reporting a barrier
What makes a report fixable
If something stops you using the site, it is a bug in the site. These three details are what let it be found and fixed.
What you were trying to do
The page, and the task: reading an answer, filling in a form, finding a route.
What got in the way
What happened instead, such as a control you could not reach or text you could not read.
What you were using
A screen reader, keyboard only, magnification, voice control or a phone, and the browser if you know it.
