Accessibility statement

Draft for review. Independent testing hasn't happened yet.

Our goal

We aim for the rate comparison board to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, and level AAA wherever it applies. The board has no video or audio, so the criteria for media don't apply.

What we've done

• Text and controls meet AAA contrast (7:1 for text) in both light and dark themes.
• Everything works with a keyboard, with a clearly visible focus ring and a "Skip to rates" link.
• Every button and link is at least 44 by 44 pixels.
• Rates, toggles, sorting and the rate details card are announced properly to screen readers.
• Abbreviations such as LVR and P&I are explained, with plain-English help next to each choice.
• The page works at 400% zoom, on a 320 pixel wide screen, in Windows High Contrast, and with reduced motion.
• You can choose a light or dark theme, or match your device, at the bottom of the board.

Known limitations

• The board hasn't yet been tested by people using screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver.
• The agent portal shares the board's colours and controls but hasn't had the full review yet.
