Accessibility statement
Accessibility of cardiodb.org
This statement applies to public pages and tools served from cardiodb.org. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website and its research resources.
Our accessibility aims
We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 Level AA where possible. WCAG 2.2 is organised around content that is perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.
- Pages should work on small and large screens without loss of content.
- Text should be readable and resizable using browser controls.
- Navigation and interactive controls should be usable with a keyboard.
- Images should include meaningful alternative text where they convey information.
- Links, headings and form controls should have clear labels.
AbilityNet has advice on making your computer, phone or tablet easier to use if you have a disability.
Known limitations
Some legacy research applications were built before current accessibility practices were adopted. These may include older table layouts, images without ideal text alternatives, older PDFs or specialist scientific visualisations that are difficult to represent in another format.
When we identify an issue, we will aim to fix it or provide the information in another accessible format.
Technical standard
CardioDB aims for partial to full conformance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA, depending on the age and technical constraints of each resource.
We review new landing pages and content against modern HTML, keyboard access, colour contrast, focus visibility and responsive layout expectations.
