Accessibility statement

Ja Wohl! should work for everyone who wants to learn with us, whatever device they use and however they use it: with a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification, voice control or a slow connection. This statement applies to jawohl.org.

The standard we follow

jawohl.org is designed and built to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 at Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Where we can, we also meet the success criteria added in WCAG 2.1 and 2.2, such as larger touch targets and visible focus that is never hidden.

What we do

• Structure. Pages use headings, landmarks and lists in order, so they can be navigated by heading or region. A "skip to content" link is the first thing on every page.
• Keyboard. Everything works with a keyboard alone: menus, tabs, filters, forms and dialogs, with a visible focus outline and no keyboard traps.
• Colour and contrast. Text and controls meet the WCAG contrast ratios in light and dark mode. Colour is never the only way information is shown: a fully booked course, for example, also says so in words.
• Text. Text can be enlarged to 200% without loss of content, and the page reflows on small screens without horizontal scrolling.
• Motion. Nothing on the site moves on its own, and animations stop when your device asks for reduced motion.
• Forms. Every field has a visible label. Errors are described in text next to the field, the first one receives focus, and nothing is submitted until you confirm it.
• Images and media. Images have text alternatives, and decorative drawings are hidden from screen readers.
• Accessibility settings. The accessibility button on every page lets you adjust text size, spacing, contrast, colour and motion for your visit. Your choices stay in your browser.

Known limitations

• The virtual classroom runs on Zoom, whose controls and accessibility features are Zoom's. If you need support in class (for example, larger materials or more time for a task), tell us before the course starts.
• Third-party services, such as the security check on forms (Cloudflare Turnstile), are outside our control. If one of them blocks you, contact us and we will complete your registration or request by email.

How we check

This statement is based on our own assessment of the site against WCAG 2.0 Level AA (a self-assessment, not an external audit). We check new pages and features before they are published, and review this statement whenever the site changes significantly. It was last reviewed on the date shown at the top of the page.

Report a barrier

If something on jawohl.org is hard or impossible for you to use, please tell us at hello@jawohl.org. Describe the page and what happened, and tell us how you would like us to reply. We respond within five working days, and if we cannot fix the barrier quickly, we provide the information or service another way.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the authority responsible for accessibility enforcement in your country.
