Accessibility and data sources
Accessibility statement
SherlockHomes wants the site to be usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA.
What we have done
- The whole site works with a keyboard, with focus always visible and a “Skip to content” link.
- Colour contrast of at least 4.5:1 for text.
- Every form field has a text label; errors are announced and explained.
- Every image has alternative text.
- Text can be zoomed to 200% without loss of content; the site adapts to phones.
- We respect the system’s reduced-motion preference.
- The site is available in Portuguese and English.
Known limitations
- Photos uploaded by visitors have only generic alternative text; the relevant content is described in the review’s written answers.
- Links to external maps (OpenStreetMap) may not be fully accessible.
