Accessibility statement

Standard

We build the site to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.2, level AA. The same rules apply to the public site, the guest account and the host interface.

Status: partially conformant — no independent audit has been carried out yet.

How we check it

• Lighthouse automatically checks every change to the public pages; accessibility must score full marks or the change is not deployed.
• Pages work without JavaScript and can be used entirely with a keyboard, with a visible focus.
• Every page starts with a link to skip to the content; animations stop when the device asks for reduced motion.
• Texts are in six languages and every page declares its language, so a screen reader pronounces it correctly.
• Colour never carries information on its own — a state is always also a word or an icon.

What is not right yet

We know about these limitations and are working on them:

• Map of listings and locations

  The map is visual. The same information — the address, distances to places nearby and the list of results — is always also given as text.

• Photos from hosts

  We compose a photo's description from the type and place of the listing; it may not say everything the photo shows.

• Invoices and posters in PDF

  PDF files are not yet tagged for screen readers. The invoice details are also shown as a page in the host interface.

• Texts by hosts and guests

  Listing descriptions and reviews are written by people outside Travelia; we do not change their language or structure.
