Using this site

What has been done

• Every colour pair on the site is contrast-measured against WCAG 1.4.3 and 1.4.11, in both the light and dark themes, and the check runs on every build — so a change that breaks it cannot ship.
• The site can be operated from the keyboard alone. Menus open on click rather than hover, Escape closes them and returns focus, and focus is never scrolled behind the sticky header.
• Text can be enlarged to 200% and the layout reflows to a single column at 320 pixels wide without horizontal scrolling.
• Nothing important is conveyed by colour alone, and nothing moves or animates for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion.
• The schedule is real text, not an image. The previous site published its entire year of dates as a single JPEG, which no screen reader could read and no search engine could index.

What is known to fall short

• Some images carried over from the old site are photographs of printed flyers — an A4 page exported as a JPEG. The words on them are images of text, which WCAG 1.4.5 asks us not to use. They are being replaced with real text; until then their alt text describes what the flyer says.
• Alt text on migrated images is under review. Anything not yet checked by a person is flagged in the admin rather than assumed correct.
• This statement is based on our own testing. It has not yet been reviewed by an independent auditor or tested with users of assistive technology.

If something gets in your way

Ring the office on 0451 318 173 or email info@divineretreatcentre.org. Tell us the page and what happened. We will fix it, and in the meantime someone will help you do whatever you were trying to do — book a retreat, find a date, make an offering — over the phone.

Anything you need to tell us about a disability in order to attend a retreat can be given to the office directly rather than typed into a form.
