Accessibility
I try to build websites that work for as many people as possible, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, switch devices, browsers without JavaScript, slow connections, and older or cheaper phones.
On this site
- Every page is readable without JavaScript.
- Every page loads quickly on a slow connection.
- Navigation works with keyboard only (no mouse needed).
- Colours are chosen for good contrast.
- Images have alt text describing what they show.
- Text reflows cleanly on narrow screens and at large text sizes.
- I aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA where it fits the project, and test with Lighthouse on every release. It's not hard and fast, and I'm happy to meet whatever guidance or standard your users need.
On sites I build for clients
All of the above, by default. I use Lighthouse as part of every build, and I'm happy to walk through any additional requirements you have, for example if your users include people with specific assistive technology.
If something isn't working for you
If you can't read, use, or navigate something on this site, that's a bug and I want to fix it. Please email hello@chobble.com or fill in the contact form, and tell me:
- What device and browser you're using
- What assistive technology (if any)
- What you were trying to do
- What happened instead
I'll reply within a few working days and try to fix it quickly.
Known issues
- The contact form and email decryption require JavaScript to fully work. If JavaScript is disabled, I also offer Signal, WhatsApp, phone, and in-person meetings; details are on the contact page.
- Some embedded YouTube videos on the videos page are hosted by YouTube and follow YouTube's accessibility features rather than mine.
If you find other issues, please tell me and I'll add them here and fix them.
