Accessibility.
somalc aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. This page covers this website, not the somalc platform, which isn’t open yet.
What is built in
- A skip link to the main content, and page landmarks on every page.
- One heading 1 per page.
- An accessible name on every link, button and form control.
- A visible focus ring on everything you can reach by keyboard.
- Body text measured against its background at 4.5 to 1 or more.
- Layouts that reflow to one column on small screens, with no sideways scrolling.
- Form errors in words, next to the field, and announced to screen readers.
Motion
On the home page, a sample History answer is marked in four steps as you scroll, and a caption under it says in words what each step shows. If your system is set to reduce motion, nothing is pinned or animated: the answer is shown already marked, with all four captions as a list. The shapes on the About page follow your pointer only when motion is allowed.
