Accessibility
Waythrough Project is committed to making affordable housing information accessible to everyone. Many of the people we serve have disabilities, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Our standards
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level. This means our site is designed to be usable by people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control, screen magnification, and other assistive technologies.
What we've built in
Keyboard navigation. Every page can be navigated entirely with a keyboard. A "Skip to main content" link appears when you press Tab, letting you bypass the navigation menu and go straight to the page content.
Screen reader support. We use semantic HTML (headings, landmarks, lists) and ARIA attributes so screen readers can identify and navigate the structure of each page. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers, and meaningful elements are labeled.
Focus indicators. All interactive elements (links, buttons, form fields) have visible focus outlines so keyboard users can see where they are on the page.
Color contrast. Text and background colors meet WCAG AA contrast requirements. We don't rely on color alone to convey meaning.
Reduced motion. If your device or browser is set to prefer reduced motion, all animations and transitions are disabled automatically.
Responsive design. The site works on any screen size, from mobile phones to large monitors. Text can be resized up to 200% without losing content or functionality.
Known limitations
We're a small team and continuously improving. Some older pages may have accessibility issues we haven't addressed yet. If you encounter a problem, please let us know so we can fix it.
Feedback
If you have trouble using any part of this site, or if you have suggestions for how we can improve accessibility, please reach out. Email us at [email protected]. We take every report seriously and will work to address issues promptly.
