Accessibility: making Readers Ride usable by everyone

Our commitment to an accessible Readers Ride, the standards we aim for, known limits and how to report a problem.

We want everyone to be able to read Readers Ride, whatever device, ability or connection they have.

What we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. In practice we design for:

  • readable text sizes and strong colour contrast;
  • pages that work with a keyboard alone and with screen readers;
  • images with meaningful descriptions;
  • pages that adapt to phones and tablets, and respect your device's reduced-motion setting;
  • fast pages that work on slower mobile connections.

Known limits

We are a new site and we are still checking every page. Some older articles may have image descriptions that are shorter than they should be, and embedded third-party content may not meet the same standard. We are fixing these as we find them.

Tell us about a problem

If you cannot use part of the site, email [email protected] with the page address and what went wrong. We aim to reply within five working days and to fix problems quickly.
