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.
