How this site is built to be read, and where it falls short.

aipia.uk aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines at level AA. This statement sets out the measures taken, the contrast ratios measured, and the limitations known at the review date. It records self-assessment, not an independent audit.

Section I Measures taken

Seven decisions that carry most of the weight.

Each was made during the build rather than retrofitted, which is the only way most of them work.

  1. 01

    Contrast measured before the palette was committed

    Every text and background pair was computed against the WCAG formula rather than judged by eye. Two results changed the design: one accent tone is restricted to interactive states because it fails AA as body text on the alternate background, and the hairline colour used for rules is never used for text or for anything conveying state.

  2. 02

    Content is visible without JavaScript

    Sections fade in as you scroll, but the styles that hide them apply only once a script has marked the document as scripted. With JavaScript disabled or blocked, every section is present and legible. Navigation uses a native disclosure element, so the menu opens and closes without scripting.

  3. 03

    Reduced motion is honoured

    Where the operating system reports a preference for reduced motion, scroll animation and the reveal transition are switched off entirely rather than shortened, and content is shown immediately.

  4. 04

    One h1 per page, in order

    Each page carries a single first-level heading and descends without skipping a level, so a screen-reader user can navigate by heading and reach every section.

  5. 05

    Focus is visible and deliberate

    Keyboard focus draws a two-pixel accent outline with an offset, in a colour measured at ten to one against the surfaces it appears on. A skip link is the first focusable element on every page.

  6. 06

    Graphics carry text alternatives or are marked decorative

    The wordmark is inline scalable vector graphics with a title element. The specimen member card carries a description of its fields as its accessible name, and its diagonal overprint is hidden from assistive technology because the accessible name already says the card is a specimen. Decorative rules and the illustrative code block are hidden.

  7. 07

    Figures are set in tabular numerals

    Prices, dates and penalties align in columns, which makes a list of figures easier to compare and easier to read aloud in a predictable order.

Section II Measured contrast

The ratios, so they can be checked.

Level AA requires 4.5 to 1 for normal text and 3 to 1 for large text and user-interface components. Level AAA requires 7 to 1 for normal text. The figures below were computed from the palette's hexadecimal values during the build.

Section III Known limitations

Four things this statement does not claim.

  1. 01 No independent accessibility audit has been carried out. Everything above is self-assessment, verified with automated checks in a real browser across desktop and mobile viewports.
  2. 02 No testing has been done with users of assistive technology. Automated checks and manual keyboard testing find structural faults; they do not tell you whether a page is pleasant to use with a screen reader.
  3. 03 Links leaving this site reach pages outside its control, including the association’s registration and verification pages. Their accessibility is governed by their own statements.
  4. 04 The specimen member card renders its type in container-relative units so that it scales with the card. At very large browser zoom levels the card scales as a whole rather than reflowing its fields into a single column.

If any part of this site is difficult or impossible to use, write to the secretariat at segreteria@aipia.it with the page address and a description of what happened. Reports about accessibility are acted on rather than filed.
