This accessibility statement describes how we make contact.doctor usable for everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboards, magnifiers or voice control. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 (opens in a new tab) at level AA. In addition, we test every page with automated checks and by hand.
What our accessibility work covers
- Every map has the same numbers in a table. Also, every page works without JavaScript.
- Full keyboard access, visible focus, a skip link, and controls labeled for screen readers.
- Display settings (the sun icon at the top): dark mode, color-blind-friendly map colors and higher contrast.
- Text scales with your browser’s font size, and layouts work on phones and large screens.
- We respect your device’s “reduce motion” setting.
How we test accessibility
First, we run automated checks with the open-source axe engine on phone, tablet and desktop layouts, in light and dark mode. Then we check pages by hand: for example, we use the keyboard alone and zoom to 200%. As a result, most problems are caught before a page goes live.
Known accessibility limits
Some interactive map features, such as trackpad zoom and hover details, have keyboard and table alternatives rather than identical experiences. For example, you can use the Find box, the arrow keys or the Table view instead of hovering. Also, some data comes from government files in all capital letters, which screen readers may spell out. We convert names to normal case where we can.
Accessibility feedback
If something doesn’t work for you, please tell us. Include the page and what you were trying to do. We aim to reply within five business days. Meanwhile, if you need the data in another format, ask and we will send it.
