Sanctuary Mix

Accessibility

We want everyone on a sound team to be able to use Sanctuary Mix, whatever their eyesight, hearing or hands, and whatever phone or computer they use. This page says what we check, what doesn't work well yet, and how to tell us about a problem.

What we aim for

We aim for the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA, the usual measure for websites. No outside expert has checked the site yet, so we don't claim it meets all of them.

What we check

  • Whenever we change a page, an automatic checker (axe) tests it on a phone-sized and a computer-sized screen, and in dark mode. It finds problems such as missing labels, words too faint to read and headings out of order. Automatic checks find some problems, not all of them.
  • We check that no page scrolls sideways on a phone, and that the main pages work without JavaScript.
  • We look at every page we change on a phone-sized and a computer-sized screen.

What helps

  • Every page starts with a Skip to content link, for keyboards and screen readers.
  • The site follows your phone's or computer's light or dark setting, and you can zoom in.
  • Plan your stage works with a keyboard: Tab moves between the things on the stage, the arrow keys move them, and it says where each one is.

What doesn't work well yet

  • Many practice tools in the training ask you to listen and judge by ear. The lesson around each tool says what to listen for, but the tool itself can't be done without hearing.
  • We haven't tried every practice tool with a keyboard or a screen reader. Some use sliders and drawings that may be hard to use without a mouse or a finger.
  • The guide, Essentials and the free handouts are PDFs made for printing. They aren't tagged for screen readers, so a screen reader may read some pages in the wrong order or skip the words in drawings.
  • We haven't yet asked people who use a screen reader or other assistive tools to test the site with us. If you'd like to help, please write to us.

Tell us about a problem

If something on the site, in the training or in a guide is hard for you to use, write to support@sanctuarymix.com. Tell us which page and what happened. We reply within two working days (not counting Sundays). We'll fix what we can, and help you another way in the meantime.
