Accessibility
The product is text by design, which removes a lot of barriers that live readings put up: no appointment window, no camera, no sitting through a stranger's pauses. What's left is the site itself, and it's built to a plain standard rather than a perfect one. This page says what that means.
What works
- Semantic headings, landmarks and lists, so screen-reader navigation lands in sensible places.
- A skip link to the main content on every page.
- Visible focus outlines at 3px, not suppressed anywhere.
- Text contrast at or above WCAG 2.2 AA for body copy and controls — the ink on cream is 13.9:1, plum on cream 8.2:1.
- Full keyboard operation, including the menu, the FAQ disclosures and the cookie banner.
- Readings delivered as plain text as well as PDF, so they can be read at any zoom or piped into a screen reader or e-reader without a layout fight.
- Forms with real labels, hints and error text tied by
aria-describedby, and errors announced politely rather than moved to silently. - Respect for
prefers-reduced-motion; the small hover transitions switch off. - A layout that reflows to 320px with no horizontal scroll.
- Alt text on every image, and decorative shapes marked so they're skipped.
What's weaker
- The decorative tarot illustrations are abstract and carry short descriptions. They reproduce no reading information, so nothing is lost if they're skipped.
- The serif headings use a Google-hosted font. If it fails to load, headings fall back to Georgia and the layout holds, but the look changes.
- Live regions cover form status and errors, not every dynamic change; the reading-count on the account page can lag a screen reader by a beat.
- The PDF is typeset. A tagged version exists but reading order in the PDF is less reliable than the plain-text copy — that's why both are sent.
- Card fields on checkout are the processor's hosted inputs. Their internal accessibility is good but not ours to tune.
Alternative formats
Anything on this site can be sent another way on request: large print, higher contrast, or the reading dictated into a voice note. Ask hello@alfaprotek.com; nothing is charged for it and no reason is needed.
If something blocks you
Tell us what happened and which page. Write to hello@alfaprotek.com with "Access" in the subject. You'll get a reply within one business day, and if a form is the blocker, the whole thing can be taken by e-mail instead. Fixes are batched into the next release; anything severe is fixed on its own.
Standard referenced
WCAG 2.2 level AA, with the gaps above accepted knowingly rather than assumed away. The site is tested with VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, keyboard-only in Chrome and Firefox, and at 200% and 400% zoom.
