Accessibility

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 at level AA across the whole site, including the reading tool and the printable card.

• Body text is at least 4.5:1 against its background everywhere, and most of it is far above that.
• Colour is never the only way anything is communicated. The five printing methods each carry a hatch pattern and a written label as well as a colour, and none of the five colours implies a rank.
• The whole site works from a keyboard, in a visible order, with a focus outline that is easy to see and a skip link to the main content.
• The one animation on the site — the light travelling across the hero photograph — is replaced automatically by a static pair of images when your system asks for reduced motion. Nothing is lost by turning motion off.
• The comparison of the five methods stays a comparison at every screen size. It never collapses into showing one method at a time.
• Images that carry information have descriptive alternative text. Decorative textures are marked as decorative so a screen reader skips them.
• Tables have captions and proper row and column headers, and the wash-limit card prints in black and white with the verdict written out as a word.
• Text can be resized to 200% without loss of content or function.

The five-method comparison table has to scroll sideways on a narrow screen. We consider that the lesser problem — a carousel would defeat the task, which is telling five things apart — but a horizontal scroll is still work for some people, and we are looking for a better answer.

Photographs of print surfaces are described in text, but a description of a surface texture is a poor substitute for seeing it. We are working on better descriptions rather than pretending this one is solved.

If something on this site is in your way, email support@teeponyu.shop with the page and what happened. We treat accessibility reports as bugs, not as feedback, and we will tell you what we are doing about it.

If you need a read in a different format — large print, plain text, or read out over the phone on +44 370 755 5088 — ask and we will provide it at no extra cost.
