Accessibility
Last updated , the date this version of the site was published.
TidySteps wants everyone to be able to read this site and place a pre-order on it, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard, magnification, high contrast, or who are sensitive to motion. If something on the site is in your way, the fastest fix is to tell us through the contact details shown at checkout.
Standard
Our target is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, the W3C Recommendation of 12 December 2024. For body text we go past AA: every paragraph on this site is set to meet the Level AAA contrast ratio of 7 to 1 against its background, in both the light and the dark color scheme.
What we have done
- Body text is at least 18 pixels, lines are at most 70 characters wide, and text can be resized to 200 percent.
- Text contrast is 7 to 1 or better for body copy and links; buttons and controls are 3 to 1 or better against what surrounds them.
- Every page has one heading level 1, landmark regions, a skip link to the content, and a consistent header and footer.
- Every link, button and form control works with a keyboard and shows a visible focus ring that is never removed.
- Buttons and radio controls are at least 44 pixels tall, and every form field has a visible label.
- Nothing moves, blinks or plays on its own. The site honors the reduced-motion setting and the increased-contrast setting in your operating system.
- The site runs no JavaScript, so it works the same with scripts blocked, on slow connections and in text browsers.
- Images carry text alternatives.
- Colors come from one checked palette, with each pair's measured ratio recorded in the site's stylesheet. There is no grey-on-white text anywhere, and dark mode follows your system setting.
Checkout
Payment happens on a page hosted by Stripe, our payment processor. We do not embed it, so its accessibility is Stripe's responsibility under Stripe's own statement. If the checkout page is a barrier for you, tell us through the contact details shown there and we take your deposit by another route at the same price and on the same terms.
Known limitations
None listed at this time. When a barrier is found and cannot be fixed at once, it is listed here with the date found and the planned fix date, and removed when fixed.
How we check
Before each release we check every page template for contrast, keyboard operation and heading structure, in both color schemes, and we fix what we find before the release goes out. A barrier you report is checked the same way.
Tell us about a barrier
Use the contact details shown at checkout, or your pre-order confirmation email if you have placed one, and include the page address and what happened. We reply within 5 business days, and we fix what we can in the next release. If you need any page on this site in another format, or need help placing or cancelling a pre-order, the same route reaches a person who can do it with you.
