ZAH-ZAHA is written to be read by everyone, in English and in Arabic. This page says what the site does for that, what is not yet right, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.
What the site does
- Keyboard. Every page can be used without a mouse. A “Skip to content” link is the first thing the Tab key reaches, and the interactive pieces, such as the taxi ride and the tracker, respond to the keyboard.
- Screen readers. Pages use headings, labelled buttons and landmarks, and interactive pieces announce what changes.
- Sound. Nothing plays on its own. Where a voice is used, as in the taxi ride, its words are shown as subtitles and in full on the page.
- Motion. If your device asks for reduced motion, animations stop and each scene is shown complete.
- Light and dark. The site follows your device’s setting, and you can switch it with the button at the top of every page.
- Arabic. The Arabic edition is written in Arabic, not machine-translated, and reads right to left throughout. Most pieces can be switched between the two languages paragraph by paragraph.
- Text size. Text can be enlarged with your browser’s zoom without the page breaking.
What is not yet right
- Some visual pieces, such as maps and charts, say less to a screen reader than they show on screen. Each one has a text summary, and the data behind the tracker can be downloaded as a table.
- The site has not yet been audited by an outside accessibility specialist. We aim for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, but we do not claim to meet them in full.
