Commitment to accessibility
Sussex Steam aims to make its website accessible and usable for as many people as possible. This includes people using assistive technologies, different devices, or alternative ways of navigating the web.
The site is designed to be simple, readable, and easy to move around without unnecessary complexity.
How the site is designed
The website has been built with accessibility in mind. This includes:
- Clear text structure using headings and paragraphs
- Readable font sizes and spacing
- Simple navigation with consistent layout
- Links that are clearly visible and distinguishable
- Responsive design for mobile, tablet, and desktop devices
Where possible, pages are designed to work without requiring advanced interaction or specific technologies.
Using the site
The site should be usable with a keyboard as well as a mouse or touchscreen. Navigation menus, links, and content areas are structured to support this.
Content is written in plain language where possible to make it easier to understand without specialist knowledge.
Compatibility
The website is intended to work across modern browsers and devices. This includes common browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox.
It should also work with standard assistive technologies, although compatibility can vary depending on individual setup.
Limitations
While efforts are made to improve accessibility, some parts of the site may not yet meet all accessibility standards. For example:
- Some images may rely on general descriptive text rather than detailed alternatives
- Interactive elements such as menus may vary slightly between devices
Improvements are made over time as the site develops.
Ongoing improvements
Accessibility is considered an ongoing process. The site may be updated to improve usability, readability, and compatibility as standards evolve and feedback is received.
The aim is to keep the site straightforward and accessible without adding unnecessary complexity.
