Accessibility statement

What you should be able to do

• Use every page and control, including the AND gate switches, the header menus, the scenes, the workbench, search and the forms, with a keyboard alone.
• Hear the gate's state and message with a screen reader. The switches are buttons that announce whether they are on or off, and the output is read out when it changes.
• Read every state as words and numbers, not colour alone.
• Zoom to 400% and use the site at 320 pixels wide without scrolling sideways.
• Turn off motion. With reduced motion set in your system, nothing animates: pages appear at once and everything is in place as you scroll. Or press Pause all motion at the foot of any page, and the site remembers. Each scene and the workbench's tour can also be paused on its own.
• Read what the scenes show. Under each one, every step is written out, and the steps work as buttons.
• Choose light or dark. Both are tested against the same contrast rules.
• Use the site without JavaScript. The forms still send, and every page still reads.

How we test it

Every page is checked with the axe accessibility engine at 1440 and 390 pixels wide, a sample of pages again in dark mode, and every page for sideways scrolling at six widths from 320 to 1920 pixels. The gate, the header menus, search, the phone menu and the forms are tested with a keyboard, the gate with and without reduced motion, and the gate, the menus, the scenes and the contact form with JavaScript off. Automated tests catch part of the problem, so we also review pages by hand. No one who uses a screen reader every day has tested this version yet.

What is not yet right

• The test clips have no sound. We removed it until each clip has captions. Every clip has a written description beside it instead.
• The system diagrams are images with a full text description, and the steps they show are also written out on the page.
• The hero's window follows a pointer, and the tracker in the workbench is drawn on a canvas. Both are for pointers. Neither carries anything that is not also on the page in words.
