We make learning that plays like a game, and we want everyone to be able to play. This statement explains how accessible pickandmixstudios.com is, what you can adjust, and how to tell us if something gets in your way.
Our aim
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 (opens in a new tab) at level AA across the site, and the same pages on our Tiny Bytes newsletter.
Make the site work for you
Press the Aa button at the top of any page to change:
- Theme: light, dark, or follow your device.
- Text size: three sizes. The site also works when you zoom your browser to 200% or more.
- Font: switch to Easy-read (Atkinson Hyperlegible), a font designed to be clearer for people with low vision or dyslexia.
- Spacing: wider spacing between lines, letters and words.
- Animation: turn all movement off. We also turn it down automatically if your device is set to reduce motion.
- Simple page: a calmer, flatter version of the page with no shadows, sparkles or patterns.
- Read aloud: listen to the page in your device’s own voice, where your browser supports it.
Your choices are remembered on your device, and carry across to our Tiny Bytes pages. The globe button lets you read any page in another language.
What we’ve built in
- Everything works with a keyboard, with a visible focus outline and a “skip to content” link.
- Pages use proper headings, landmarks and labels for screen readers.
- Our game-style features (the main menu, character select, level map, cartridge shelf, loot chests and chat bot) are built as standard menus, tabs and forms, so they work with assistive technology. If scripts don’t load, the plain content still shows.
- Every image has a text description, or is marked as decorative.
- Colours are checked for contrast in both light and dark themes.
How we test
We check every page with automated accessibility testing (axe) in light and dark themes, on phone and desktop sizes, whenever we make a change, alongside manual keyboard checks.
Known limitations
- Our playable Storyline demos open in Articulate’s player and our videos play on YouTube. How accessible they are depends partly on those players, and some videos may not have full captions yet.
- Our page headings use illustrated lettering. Each one has a text equivalent for screen readers.
We’re working to improve these.
Tell us what’s not working
If anything on the site is hard to use, or you need something in a different format, please email hello (at) pickandmixstudios.com with “Accessibility” in the subject. Tell us the page and what happened, and we’ll do our best to fix it or help another way.
