What has been built in, and what has not been verified.

The target

This website is built against WCAG 2.1 level AA practices. No independent audit has been carried out, so no conformance claim is made here. What follows is what was implemented deliberately, which is a different and smaller statement.

Built in

• Semantic HTML with a single main landmark, labelled navigation regions and a meaningful heading order on every page.
• A skip link to the main content as the first focusable element.
• Visible focus outlines on every interactive element, never removed.
• Keyboard operation throughout, including arrow-key navigation in the department tabs and Escape to close the mobile menu.
• Form fields with real labels, required fields marked in text as well as colour, and an error summary that receives focus and links to the field it describes.
• Text and interface colours drawn from a palette checked against AA contrast on both the light and dark surfaces used.
• Colour is never the only carrier of meaning: coded dots and shapes are paired with text labels.
• Decorative graphics hidden from assistive technology; the map figures carry a description of what they depict and that the geometry is invented.
• Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion, and the entrance animations are disabled entirely when it is set.
• Fonts are self-hosted, so text renders without waiting on a third-party request.

Known gaps

• No independent accessibility audit has been commissioned.
• The site has not been tested with every combination of screen reader and browser in general use.
• The map figures communicate spatial patterns visually. Each carries a text description of what it shows, but a reader relying on that description gets less than a sighted reader does.
• No accessibility statement has been produced in the specific format some jurisdictions require for public-sector procurement.

Reporting a barrier

If something on this site is difficult or impossible to use, write to hello@twingov.app. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do and what assistive technology you were using if any. A specific report is worth more than a general one and will be acted on faster.
