Using This Site
This site is built to work for as many people as possible, including those using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation and other assistive technology.
It aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA across every page, and it meets some level AAA criteria as well. It does not claim full AAA conformance. The W3C advises against that as a site-wide target, because AAA cannot be met for all content.
If anything here gets in your way, please email guy@kirkwood.biz. Guy Kirkwood aims to reply within five working days.
Standards, Testing and Limits
What the site does
- Semantic HTML5, so screen readers can follow the structure
- A skip-to-content link on every page for keyboard users
- ARIA labels and roles on interactive elements
- High-contrast OKLCH colour palettes
- Responsive type set with clamp() so it stays legible when zoomed
- Link text that describes its destination on its own, which meets AAA criterion 2.4.9
How it was tested
The site was checked by hand and with automated tools, most recently in July 2026. Testing covered keyboard-only navigation, screen reader output, colour contrast and text resizing to 200%.
Testing was done by Guy Kirkwood. It has not been audited by an independent third party.
Known limitations
Two things fall short of the highest standard:
- Videos on the speaking and farming pages are hosted on YouTube. Captions depend on the original upload, and none carry sign language interpretation, which AAA criterion 1.2.6 requires.
- Some pages discuss technology and farming in terms that need reading beyond lower secondary level, so they do not meet AAA criterion 3.1.5.
If either of these blocks you from something you need, email guy@kirkwood.biz and Guy will supply the content in another format.
