Plain language and a site that works for everyone are part of the same job. Here is what we aim for, and how to flag anything that does not work for you.
What we aim for. We build the site to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2, at level AA as our target: readable text, sensible colour contrast, content that works with a keyboard and with a screen reader, structure that follows a logical order, and no reliance on colour alone to carry meaning.
Plain language by design. The whole site is written to be understood without a tax background. Where a technical term is unavoidable, it is defined in the glossary.
The data, in an accessible form. The figures are published as a downloadable open dataset. A plain data file is often easier to use with assistive technology than a table read on screen, so if a chart or table does not work for you, the underlying numbers are available another way.
Where we may fall short. We are a small, unfunded project, and we will not have got everything right. If a page, chart or table does not work for you, that is a fault we want to fix, not a limit we expect you to live with.
Tell us. Email hello@kilnguides.co.uk with the page and what did not work, and we will do our best to fix it or to give you the information in a form you can use.
