What has been done, what is known to be unfinished, and how to tell us it is not working for you.

What we aim for

WCAG 2.2 level AA. A club website is read by the whole parish, including people using a screen reader, people who cannot use a mouse, and people reading a fixture on a phone in bright sunlight at the side of a pitch.

What has actually been done

  • Every text colour on the site is measured against the surface behind it, by a script that reads the stylesheet, and the build is checked against it. The headline over the photograph on the home page is measured against the photograph itself.
  • Every page works from the keyboard alone, and focus is always visible.
  • A skip link jumps straight to the content.
  • Light and dark are both designed, not inverted. Printing forces a clean light sheet.
  • Animation is only ever declared for people who have not asked their device for reduced motion. If you have, nothing moves — the effects are not shortened, they are never switched on.
  • Tap targets on phones are at least 44px.
  • Decorative images and icons are hidden from screen readers rather than described.

What is not finished

  • The site has not been tested with a real screen reader by somebody who uses one daily. Automated checks and keyboard testing are not the same thing.
  • The gallery is a placeholder. When real photographs go in, each one needs a description written by whoever took it.
