Accessibility
Accessible product information and assessment workflows.
The public pages and planned applications aim to support keyboard, screen-reader, zoom and reduced-motion use, but formal conformance testing remains outstanding.
Current page features
- Semantic headings, landmarks and lists.
- A keyboard-visible skip link.
- Keyboard-operable navigation and disclosure controls.
- Escape-to-close and outside-click behaviour for navigation menus.
- Responsive layouts for narrow screens and high zoom.
- Reduced-motion support through the user's operating-system preference.
- Text alternatives for the main conceptual diagrams.
Assessment-interface principles
The applications should carry forward the usability lessons developed through TRACE:
- Short, direct questions with compact and consistent response controls.
- Progressive explanations that remain hidden until requested.
- Explanation pop-ups displayed above adjacent controls, closed by outside click or Escape.
- Plain-language labels before legal or technical terminology.
- Visible focus states and no reliance on colour alone.
- Keyboard access to journey nodes, variant records and scenario controls.
- Print outputs that retain structure without depending on interactive behaviour.
Known limitations
The current pages have undergone automated structural and rendering checks, but they have not completed a formal WCAG conformance audit, screen-reader testing across platforms or usability testing with disabled users. Conceptual diagrams may require further work to support complex keyboard editing in the eventual applications.
Reporting a problem
Accessibility problems or requests for an alternative format should be sent to contact@digidata.uk. Please identify the page, browser, assistive technology and task where possible.
Production applications should aim for WCAG 2.2 AA, supported by independent testing and documented exceptions where a complex visual editor requires an alternative workflow.
