Built to be easy for everyone

This is a prototype, so this page describes our commitments and the choices already built into the design.

Readable by design

Generous type sizes, short lines, and high-contrast text on a dark background so words stay comfortable to read.

Keyboard friendly

Every link, button, filter and form field can be reached with Tab, with a clear visible focus ring. A skip-to-content link is the first stop on every page.

Reduced motion respected

Sparkles, floating art and hover lifts switch off automatically when your device asks for reduced motion.

Large tap targets

Buttons and menu items are sized for small hands and shaky taps, on phones as well as desktops.

Described artwork

Artwork frames carry descriptive labels now, and final Guardian illustrations will ship with proper alt text.
