Designed for different ways of access

The same route, with different tools.

Preproduction review should include automated checks, manual review, screen readers, keyboard use, zoom, contrast, and testing with people with disabilities.

Keyboard and focus

Skip links, logical order, visible focus, and controls with generous targets.

Screen readers

Headings, landmarks, control names, search status, and meaningful alternate text.

Zoom and reflow

Responsive text, complete mobile routes, and content that does not depend on one orientation.

Color and contrast

Meaning does not depend on color alone; states and links keep labels and contrast.

Motion

The reduced-motion preference removes unnecessary transitions without hiding content.

Language

English and Spanish routes are persistent pages with declared language, not a temporary browser overlay.

Tools in your browser

Adjust the view that works for you.

Modern browsers and operating systems provide features that can help while a barrier is being corrected.

  1. Increase or decrease text size

    Use Control with + or - on Windows, Command with + or - on macOS, or the Zoom menu.

  2. Navigate with the keyboard

    Use Tab to move forward, Shift and Tab to move back, Enter to activate, and Escape to close where supported.

  3. Use your preferences

    Contrast, colors, captions, voice, and motion can be adjusted in browser or system settings.

Accessibility scope

Launch work includes audits of migrated content, PDFs, integrations, the WordPress editor, and authenticated workflows, plus ongoing remediation.
