What was tried, and what it cost
Accessibility
An effort log rather than a badge. What was attempted, what it took, what came of it, and the three things still wrong. Anything not listed here was tested and passed.
The log
| What was tried | What it took | What came of it |
|---|---|---|
| Building every page to work with scripting off | designing the checks so the site degrades rather than breaks | Works everywhere except the send button, which stays off deliberately. Row 1 below |
| Making the certainty tier readable without the mark | printing the tier in words on every card, row and page | The visual strip now carries nothing the text does not. Row 3 below |
| Getting the tables to fold on a narrow screen | three attempts at a stacked layout | Failed. Four and five column tables do not fold usefully, so they scroll. Row 2 below |
| Keyboard operation across all thirty five pages | a tab-through of every page, twice | Passes, with a visible focus ring and a skip link |
| Contrast on every text and background pair | measuring rather than eyeballing | Passes at AA or better throughout |
| Image descriptions | writing each one against the finished frame rather than the brief | Passes. No filenames, no placeholders |
| Reduced motion | removing the single animation entirely when the system asks | Passes |
| An independent audit | not commissioned | Not done, and this page therefore claims no conformance |
The three things still wrong
1. The send button does nothing without scripts. The checks run in the browser and with scripting off there is nothing to check with, so the button stays off rather than sending something unexamined. *Until it is fixed:* those same lines mailed to [bookings@fareveil.com](mailto:bookings@fareveil.com) land in the identical tray, and the form states this at the point of failure. 2. Tables scroll sideways below about 40rem. Three attempts at folding them failed. *Until it is fixed:* every table is accompanied on the same page by the same information as prose or as a label-and-value list. 3. The certainty strip is a visual device. *Already mitigated rather than pending:* the tier is printed in words beside every occurrence, so the strip is decoration and the words carry the meaning.
The same job, three other ways
- By telephone
- +1 (404) 873-4180, any hour of any day. Say which page. It costs no more this way and nothing is refused
- By mail
- [revisions@fareveil.com](mailto:revisions@fareveil.com), answered in writing either way
- In person
- by arrangement at 1447 Peachtree Street NE, Suite 350; it is an office rather than a shop front
Reporting something not listed
Write to [revisions@fareveil.com](mailto:revisions@fareveil.com) give the page, say which browser or reader you were using, and describe what appeared instead of what should have. An answer follows inside five working days and the item joins the log whether or not it has been fixed by then.
State your delivery preference a single time. It goes on the record and shapes every later proposal without being asked for again.
What is outside our control
Whatever paperwork the operators send out. Ours is plain and theirs is their own business. If something lands in a shape that defeats you, say so and it gets read down the telephone or retyped into something usable.
