Franziska SprengerEnglish Lops · Conservation breeding

Accessibility

This website is built to WCAG 2.2 level AA so that everyone can use it, including with a screen reader, the keyboard only or enlarged text.

This is a translation; in case of doubt the German version applies.

Scope

This statement covers the website at franziska-sprenger.de in all language versions.

Conformance status

I designed and built the website to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA. As a private, non-commercial site it is not legally required to. I apply the standard voluntarily because many breeders read the site on a smartphone, with large text or with assistive technology.

What has been done

  • Contrast: text and controls reach at least 4.5:1, large text at least 3:1, including text placed over photos.
  • Visible focus: every link, button and form field shows a clear outline when using the keyboard.
  • Keyboard: the whole site works without a mouse, including a skip link to the content. On small screens the menu opens with Enter and closes with Escape.
  • Target size: controls are at least 24 × 24 pixels (WCAG 2.2, criterion 2.5.8).
  • Reflow: the site works from 320 pixels wide and at 200 % zoom without horizontal scrolling.
  • Structure: real heading levels, navigation landmarks, labelled form fields, tables with header rows, photos with alternative text.
  • Language: each language version is marked up as such so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
  • Form: errors appear as text next to the field, not as colour alone. Success and errors are announced to screen readers.
  • Motion: the only scroll effect is switched off completely when “reduce motion” is set in the operating system.
  • No third-party services: no cookies, no embedded third-party content.

How it was checked

  • Automated testing of every page in all languages with axe-core, at desktop and smartphone size.
  • Measurement of target sizes, reflow at 320 pixels and contrast of text over photos.
  • A keyboard walkthrough of the main pages.

There has been no audit by an independent body, and the site has not yet been tested end to end with a screen reader.

Known limitations

  • The brush words (for example “Preserve”) are decoration only and hidden from screen readers. Their meaning is always in the regular text too.
  • The versions other than German and English are translated from German and have not yet been reviewed by native speakers. They carry a notice to that effect.
