We want this website and our guides to work for everyone, including people who use a screen reader, a keyboard, magnification, or voice control.
Our standard
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. This is a goal we’re working toward, not a claim that we meet it. We have not yet finished a full accessibility check of the website or the guides.
What we design for
These are the practices we build with. They are not a certification, and a page can still have a barrier.
- Headings and page landmarks, so screen readers can move around a page, and a “Skip to the main text” link.
- Controls that work with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline.
- Text descriptions for images, plates and diagrams.
- Less motion when your device asks for it.
- Color contrast that aims to meet WCAG 2.2 AA.
The guide itself
Each guide is a PDF. Its text is real text, not a picture of a page. We have not yet checked the PDF’s tags, reading order or image descriptions with a screen reader. If a guide doesn’t work with your screen reader or other tools, email us. We’ll help you get the information in a form that works for you, at no extra charge, whenever you find the problem; this help isn’t limited to the refund period. If you’d rather have your money back, we’ll give you a full refund, whenever you find the problem.
Known limits
Some pages include illustrated plates (for example, identification artwork) with fine detail. Each has a text description, and we’re working toward a larger, zoomable view for these images.
Tell us about a barrier
If something on this site or in a guide doesn’t work for you, email hello@hometownfieldguides.com. Tell us the page or the guide, what happened, and the format that would help. An automated assistant (an AI) may send the first reply, and a person at our company sees every accessibility report. If we can’t fix a problem right away, we’ll help you get the information another way while we work on it.
We aim to reply within 5 business days.
