Accessibility
Light version
Uses no web fonts and loads faster on a slow connection or a small data plan.
Text size
The text resizes with your browser. On most phones, change the font size in Settings, then Display. In a browser on a computer, press Ctrl and plus, or Command and plus on a Mac.
Screen readers
Pages use headings, labelled forms and landmarks, and work with the keyboard alone. If something does not work well with your reader, tell us once there is a way to do so.
Captions and transcripts
Every video will have captions, and every audio piece will have a written transcript, in the same language.
If reading is hard
Many people are not confident readers, and many women have had less schooling than their brothers. We plan audio-first versions, short spoken guides that can be played on a basic smartphone, and picture-led pages. These are planned, not yet built.
