Accessibility Statement

We want Trailspot to be usable by as many people as possible, including people using a keyboard, a screen reader, or browser zoom. This page lists what we've done so far and what's still in progress — plainly, without generic promises.

WCAG 2.1 AA targetLast reviewed 15 August 2026

What's implemented

  • Skip to content

    A “skip to content” link at the top of every page for keyboard users, so you don't have to tab through the header on every page load.

  • Native, focusable controls

    Every interactive element — tour cards, the FAQ accordion, sort controls, search, breadcrumbs — is built on native, keyboard-focusable HTML elements rather than click handlers on non-interactive elements.

  • Visible focus outlines

    Visible focus outlines on every clickable element, so keyboard navigation is easy to follow.

  • No fake links

    A tour with no current availability is shown as plain text, not as a link that looks clickable but isn't — some assistive technology doesn't respect a disabled link the way it looks visually.

  • Labels & live regions

    Descriptive labels on the search box and live-region announcements when search results update, and aria-current on breadcrumbs to mark the current page.

  • Colour contrast

    A WCAG AA colour-contrast pass on body text — our lightest grey text now meets the 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio against its background.

What's still in progress

  • Screen reader testing

    Manual testing with a screen reader (NVDA/VoiceOver) across the main page templates.
