Accessibility Statement

1. Commitment to Accessibility

freshsignalcabint is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to our educational content regarding railway infrastructure.

2. Semantic Structure and Headings

The website is built using semantic HTML5 elements to ensure screen readers can accurately interpret the layout. We utilize a logical heading hierarchy (H1 through H6) to organize content structurally, aiding navigation for assistive technologies.

3. Keyboard Navigation and Focus States

All interactive elements, including navigation menus, forms, and interactive diagrams (like the Track Anatomy and Station Layout), are designed to be operable via keyboard. Visible focus states are maintained to help users track their location on the page.

4. Colour Contrast

Our color palette (Deep Rail Blue, Steel Blue, Mist, Paper) has been selected to ensure sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds, aiding readability for users with visual impairments. We avoid using pure black against pure white to reduce eye strain.

5. Alt Text for Imagery

All meaningful images conveying railway engineering concepts are accompanied by descriptive alt text, ensuring the visual information is available to screen reader users.

6. Form Labels and Error Messages

Form inputs are explicitly linked to corresponding labels. Error messages on the contact form are designed to appear near the relevant field and utilize clear language.

7. Reduced Motion and Responsive Layouts

Animations (such as diagram transitions) are kept brief and subtle. The website utilizes responsive design principles to ensure content reflows correctly without horizontal scrolling on mobile devices (down to 480px), and zoom functionality is not disabled.

8. Feedback

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of freshsignalcabint. If you encounter accessibility barriers while navigating the infrastructure diagrams or text, please let us know via the Contact page.
