1. Our commitment
A Beez Journal aims to make educational material usable by people with diverse visual, hearing, motor and cognitive access needs.
2. Standards
We work toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 Level AA as a practical reference for design, content and testing.
3. Structure and navigation
Pages use semantic headings, landmarks, descriptive links and a keyboard-accessible skip link. Navigation can be opened by keyboard on small screens.
4. Visual presentation
Text and controls are designed for readable contrast and responsive enlargement. Decorative handwriting supports hierarchy but long-form reading uses conventional typefaces.
5. Images
Meaningful photographs have alternative text. Decorative elements are created with CSS or kept out of the accessibility tree.
6. Audio
Current audio controls are an interface demonstration rather than streamed editorial audio. Future spoken material will be accompanied by a transcript or equivalent text.
7. Forms and tools
Inputs have visible labels and status messages use live regions where appropriate. The word tool can be used without a pointer.
8. Known limitations
The collage-inspired visual direction includes rotation and paper textures that may not suit every reader. Core information remains available in normal document order and decorative layers are reduced on narrow screens.
9. Compatibility
The site is intended for current versions of major browsers and common assistive technologies. Older or highly customised combinations may behave differently.
10. Feedback
If you encounter a barrier, email [email protected] with the page, device or assistive technology and the task you were trying to complete. We will respond and seek a reasonable alternative.
11. Review
We review accessibility as content and functionality change and prioritise issues that prevent access to learning material or contact information.
