Accessibility statement

A website everyone can use.

AAM works toward a website that people can use whatever their abilities, devices or language. This page explains what has been done, what has been tested and what remains.

Status: self-assessed

AAM aims to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA. This website was assessed internally on 2 November 2026, with automated checks and a keyboard review. It has not yet been audited by an independent body, and it has not yet been tested by people who use screen readers, switch devices or voice control. For that reason we do not claim full conformance.

What has been done

  • A skip link to the main content, page landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer) and one level-1 heading per page with a logical outline.
  • Everything works with a keyboard. Menus open on focus and with their button, close with Escape, and the mobile menu makes the page behind it inert.
  • A visible focus indicator on every interactive element.
  • Text and interface colors reach at least 4.5:1 contrast (3:1 for large text and for focus indicators).
  • Pages reflow down to a width of 320 pixels (400% zoom) without horizontal scrolling, and text can be enlarged to 200%.
  • Form fields have visible labels and autocomplete hints. Results and errors are announced to assistive technology.
  • Movement is limited, and stops when your system asks for reduced motion. Nothing flashes, plays automatically or times out.
  • Decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers. The language of each page is declared, and Arabic is displayed right to left.
  • Buttons and links are at least 24 × 24 pixels.

What was tested

On 2 November 2026: automated checks of every English page, and of sample pages in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and German, at widths from 320 to 1280 pixels (structure, headings, landmarks, names of links and controls, form labels, ARIA attributes, color contrast and target size); and a Tab-key walk through the main pages in Chrome, checking order, visible focus and keyboard traps. The full results are kept in the project under docs/accessibility-audit.md.

Known limitations

  • Not yet tested with screen readers, voice control or switch devices (for example NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack, Dragon).
  • Tested in Chrome only. Firefox, Safari, Edge and real mobile devices have not been verified.
  • The 15 translations were produced by AI and have not yet been reviewed by native speakers. Some pages exist in English only; a notice tells you when this is the case.
  • A page you open in English can send you to its translation if you chose another language earlier. You can change language at any time from the language menu.
  • Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. If they cannot be loaded, your system fonts are used instead.
  • No PDF or other document is published yet. When documents are published they will be tagged for accessibility.

Using the website with your tools

  • Keyboard: Tab and Shift + Tab move between links and controls; Enter or Space activates them; Escape closes a menu. The first Tab stop on every page is “Skip to content”.
  • Zoom and text size: use your browser’s zoom (up to 400%) or text-size setting. The layout adapts.
  • Language: use the globe button in the header. Your choice is remembered in your browser.
  • Reduced motion and high contrast: the site follows your system settings.
