Accessibility

The site aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. Today it partly meets them: everything I have been able to measure passes, and what is still missing is listed below.

I assessed it myself: automated checks (axe-core) on every page, in every state the pages can be put in, in both the light and the dark theme, at four screen widths and with the motion setting on and off; every colour pair measured; and the whole site used with a keyboard alone, at 200% zoom, at 320 pixels wide and with larger text spacing. I have not yet tested it with a screen reader.

• Every page has a link at the top that skips straight to the content, and the content is in landmarks a screen reader can jump between.
• Everything can be used with a keyboard, the item in focus is always clearly outlined, and nothing traps the focus. Closing the menu or the video returns you to where you were.
• Every field on the contact form has a label. Required fields are marked, and errors and the form’s progress are announced to screen readers.
• Images have text alternatives, and decorative ones are hidden from screen readers.
• Links that open in a new tab say so to a screen reader.
• Podcast episodes have a full written transcript and article, apart from some of the oldest ones.
• All text, including the small grey text, has at least 4.5:1 contrast in both themes, and buttons, fields and the focus outline at least 3:1.
• Text can be zoomed to 200% and the page used at 320 pixels wide without anything being lost or needing to scroll sideways.
• On a computer the site draws its own pointer. Turn Motion off in the settings panel and your system’s pointer comes back; in Windows high-contrast mode it is never drawn.

The settings panel in the corner of every page lets you choose:

• Motion. Turns the animations, the videos, the lines that wobble when the pointer crosses them and the drawn pointer off. If your device is set to reduce motion, the site follows that from the start.
• Sound. Off unless you turn it on.
• Theme. Light, dark or your device’s own setting.

• I have not yet tested the site with a screen reader. The markup, the names of controls and the order of the page are checked by tools and by hand, but not yet by listening to it with VoiceOver, NVDA or similar.
• The episode summaries in the podcast list are cut at three lines, so with larger text spacing you see less of them. The whole text is on each episode’s page.
• Some extras appear only when you hover. Pictures that spring out of a highlighted phrase are decoration only, so nothing is lost if you never see them.
• The “Chaos” layout tilts the page slightly. It is off unless you pick it.
• Videos come from YouTube, and their captions are YouTube’s own automatic ones, which I have not checked.
• Parts of the page come from other services. The video player and the bot check on the contact form come from YouTube and Cloudflare, and I cannot control how accessible they are.

Tell me through the contact form. Say which page it was and what got in your way, and I will reply within two weeks. If you need something on the site in another form, ask, and I will send it to you.

No. Janne Parri Oy is a small company that sells its services to other businesses, so the Finnish Act on the Provision of Digital Services does not require it. I publish it anyway, because I would rather tell you where the site falls short than leave you guessing.
