Our target standard
We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA across all pages. This is a technical standard published by the W3C that covers a wide range of disabilities: vision, motor, cognitive, and auditory.
What works today
- A “Skip to content” link at the top of every page, for keyboard and screen-reader users.
- Every page works with a keyboard alone.
- Pop-up panels keep keyboard focus inside them, and give it back when they close.
- Filter results, saved pubs and errors are announced to screen readers.
- Text meets the WCAG AA contrast ratio of 4.5:1.
- Animations switch off if your device asks for reduced motion.
- The site is in English. For another language, use your browser's translate feature.
Known issues and gaps
We are being deliberate about not claiming conformance we have not tested. Items still under review:
- Map tile alternative text. Embedded OpenStreetMap tiles do not have per-tile alt text — a limitation of the tile-serving architecture. The search and list views provide all venue information in text form independently of the map, so the map is supplementary rather than the sole access path.
If you find an issue not listed here, please tell us. That is more useful to us than any internal checklist.
How to report an issue
Email hello@highburybound.com with a description of what you were trying to do, what happened, and if possible the page URL and the browser or assistive technology you were using.
We aim to acknowledge every report within 5 working days.
Resolution targets:
- Critical barriers — task is impossible to complete — within 30 days.
- Significant but workable issues — harder than it should be — within 90 days.
- Minor or cosmetic issues — fixed as soon as we can.
We take these targets seriously. If we cannot meet them, we will say so and explain why.
