Accessibility

What we aim for

We aim for anthrie.com to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. In practice:

• every page works with a keyboard alone, shows where the focus is, and starts with a link that skips to the content;
• every picture that carries meaning is described in words, and each moment of the day on the home page is described for screen readers;
• text and controls keep enough contrast in light and dark appearance, and pages follow your device's setting;
• the pages reflow to a phone's width and can be zoomed to 200% without losing anything;
• if you have asked your device for reduced motion, the home page shows still pictures instead of moving ones;
• the film opens muted, with English captions, and plays only when you ask for it;
• every form field has a visible label, and errors are said in words.

How we check

We test each page at desktop and phone widths, in light and dark appearance, with an automated checker (axe-core) and by hand with a keyboard. We have not yet had the site tested by people who use screen readers or other assistive technology every day. Automated checks find only some problems, so we also rely on you telling us.

What we know is not right yet

• The film. The one-minute film has captions, including its sounds, but no audio description yet of what it shows. Nothing in it is needed to understand Anthrie or to ask for early access.
• The moving pictures on the home page. They are silent and decorative, and each is described in text, but they play on their own while you scroll unless your device asks for reduced motion.
• The voice note. The early-access form lets you say what you need instead of writing it. It needs a microphone; writing, or emailing us, always works instead.

Tell us about a problem

If something on anthrie.com is hard to use, or you need anything from it in another form, write to hello@anthrie.com with "Accessibility" in the subject. Tell us the page and what happened. We aim to reply within five working days, and if you need to ask for early access another way, we will take your request by email.
