Immuno-Inclusivity in Opera

Accessibility Statement

The Immuno-Inclusivity in Opera Collective is committed to making this website accessible to as many people as possible. This statement explains the standard this site meets and how it is designed to work with assistive technology.

Standards compliance

This site meets the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA. This meets or exceeds WCAG 2.0, the baseline most accessibility laws and policies require.

All pages use structured, semantic markup: one H1 for the page's main heading, H2 for section titles, and H3 for subtitles, in order without skipped levels.

Structural markup

Every page has three landmark areas, readable in order with a screen reader or with styling turned off:

  • A header
  • A main content area
  • A footer

The first link on every page is a "Skip to main content" link, so keyboard and screen reader users can bypass repeated navigation.

ARIA landmarks

Pages use ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) landmark roles so a screen reader can jump directly to a section, including:

  • Navigation
  • Main
  • Content info

Images

Every non-decorative image has alternative text that describes its purpose. No content or function depends on seeing an image; the same information is available as text.

Links

Link text makes sense on its own, without relying on surrounding text.

Forms

Every form field has a clear, associated label. Form validation works without JavaScript, so submitting a form still tells you what needs fixing if scripts fail to load.

Scripts

The site works with JavaScript turned off. Scripts add convenience, not a requirement to use the site.

Visual design

Text uses relative font sizes, so it resizes with your browser's text-size setting. Nothing depends on colour alone; anywhere colour carries meaning, text carries it too. To zoom in on a desktop device:

  • Ctrl or CMD and + to zoom in
  • Ctrl or CMD and - to zoom out
  • Ctrl or CMD and 0 to reset zoom

Font and Indigenous Languages representation

This website uses BC Sans, an open-source font designed to support characters and syllabics used by Indigenous Languages, while also improving accessibility and readability. BC Sans was created with the contribution of FirstVoices, an initiative of the First Peoples' Cultural Council. Learn the story of BC Sans and download the typeface. Learn why it's important for fonts to support Indigenous Languages representation in this Decolonization Rider from Emily Johnson and Catalyst Dance.
