What this website does
- Colour contrast: all text and controls meet WCAG 2.2 AA contrast. Body text is at least 4.5:1 against its background, and large text, icons and controls are at least 3:1.
- Text size: use the A / A+ / A++ buttons at the top of every page to make text bigger. Your choice is remembered. You can also zoom to 200% or more without losing content.
- Reduce motion: the Reduce motion button turns off animations and smooth scrolling. We also follow your device's reduced-motion setting.
- Readable font: we use Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed by the Braille Institute for low-vision readers, at 18px or larger.
- Keyboard: everything, including booking, the body map and the intake form, works with a keyboard. Focus is always clearly visible. A skip link takes you straight to the main content.
- Screen readers: pages use clear headings, landmarks and labels. The body map has an equal list of buttons. Changes such as filtering and booking steps are announced.
- Forms: every field has a visible label. Errors are listed at the top of each step, explained in words, and linked to the field.
- Not just colour: we never use colour alone to show meaning. For example, full days say "Full" and selected buttons show a tick.
- Touch: buttons and links are at least 44 by 44 pixels.
- Plain English: condition guides aim for a reading age of about 9 to 11, and explain any medical words.
How we tested it
We checked pages with automated tools (Lighthouse and axe), by keyboard only, with a screen reader, at 200% and 400% zoom, and on a small phone screen.
Known issues
The illustrated map is a picture. Its text description is included, and the address and directions are written out in full on the contact page.
Report a problem
If something doesn't work for you, we'd like to know. In a real clinic, you could email hello@northline-physio.example or call 01632 960418, and we'd reply within 5 working days. As this is a concept site, you can contact SiteSync Solutions, who designed it.
If you're not happy with how a public-sector organisation responds to an accessibility complaint, you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS). (Private clinics are covered by the Equality Act 2010.)
