Accessibility

The site is built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2, on another site at Level AA, on every page, on computers, tablets and phones.

Everything works with a keyboard alone. A link at the top of each page skips to its content, whatever has the focus is outlined, and nothing that takes the focus is hidden under the bar that stays at the top of the screen.

Every photograph is described in words, except the small pictures beside a link that already names what they show, such as each video’s still. Every link says where it leads, including when it leads to another site. The one video title in Greek is marked as Greek, so that screen readers that switch languages, such as NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver, can read it in Greek.

Pages can be zoomed to 400 percent, and they then rearrange into a single column instead of scrolling sideways. Text stands out from its background by at least the contrast the standard asks for, and the pages keep their order and outlines in high-contrast modes.

Every page and link works without JavaScript. When a device asks for less motion, nothing on the site moves.

Every page was last tested in October 2026, at phone, tablet and desktop sizes. The automated checkers axe and Lighthouse found no accessibility problems.

Each page was also tested the way people use it: with a keyboard alone; with the Orca screen reader in Chrome; zoomed to 200 and 400 percent, and on a screen 320 pixels wide; with wider spacing between letters, words, lines and paragraphs; in forced colours mode; with reduced motion; and on phones 360 to 430 pixels wide, held upright and on their side.

The site cannot be published with an image that is neither described nor marked as decoration, a page without a language, a title or a single main heading, a skipped heading level, or a link to another site that does not say so.

Many of the site’s links lead to pages it does not control. Every video plays on YouTube; the book’s interviews and articles are on the sites that published them; and the book’s retailers, Red Apple Group, The Cats Roundtable, the charities, Facebook and Twitter each have sites of their own. How accessible those pages are, including whether a video has captions or a transcript, is up to them.

The build’s checks run every time the site changes. When what this page says changes, the page will change with it, and the date at the top will say when.
