Accessibility

Aylesbury Radio is designed to be usable with screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, browser zoom, magnification software and high-contrast settings.

Our accessibility approach

We aim to make this website conform as closely as practical to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. Accessibility is treated as an ongoing part of the site rather than an optional extra.

For blind and screen-reader users

• Pages use headings, landmarks, labelled navigation and properly associated form labels.
• A “Skip to main content” link is the first keyboard-focusable control on every page.
• Decorative programme and track artwork is hidden from screen readers when the same information is already available as text.
• Programme schedules use real table headings and captions so rows and columns can be understood non-visually.

For low-vision users

• The site uses high-contrast text and clear keyboard focus indicators.
• Use the text-size controls near the top of any page to choose Standard, Large or Extra large text.
• The High contrast button switches the interface to a black, white and yellow presentation.
• The layout is designed to reflow when text is enlarged or the browser is zoomed, without requiring horizontal scrolling for ordinary page content.

Keyboard and motion

All site controls can be reached using the keyboard. The previous automatically moving home-page artwork has been replaced with a static design, and the site respects the operating system’s reduced-motion preference.

Third-party services

The Listen Live button opens the Radio Studio player, while our social-media links lead to external services. We cannot control the accessibility of those third-party websites, but the Aylesbury Radio pages themselves are designed to remain accessible.
