Statement
Accessibility
We want every league member — and every prospective one — to be able to use this site.
This website is run by the West Wales Chess League, a volunteer organisation. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA and have designed the site with that in mind.
What we've done
- Text and background colours are chosen for contrast, in both the light and dark themes.
- The site can be navigated by keyboard, with a visible focus indicator throughout.
- Pages use semantic headings, landmarks and labels for assistive technology.
- League tables and fixture lists work on small screens and can be printed cleanly.
- Animations are disabled for visitors whose devices ask for reduced motion.
- Text resizes without breaking layouts.
Known limitations
- The club venue map is an embedded Google map, which has limited keyboard and screen-reader support. The same venue information is provided as text on each club's page.
- Some older documents in the library (PDFs and scans of minutes) were produced before accessibility standards and may not be fully readable by screen readers.
- The interactive chess boards in some articles are third-party components; the moves they show are also described in the surrounding text where possible.
