Internet Service Guide is built to be usable by everyone, including people who browse with a screen reader, navigate by keyboard, use magnification, or need high contrast.
This is not a badge we bought. The site was built this way from the first line of code.
What we have done
- Semantic structure. Real headings in a logical order, real landmarks, so a screen reader can navigate the page by structure instead of reading it top to bottom.
- Skip link. The first thing a keyboard user reaches on any page is a link that jumps straight past the header to the main content — and it genuinely moves focus there, rather than only scrolling the page.
- Full keyboard operation. Everything that works with a mouse works with a keyboard. Nothing on the site traps focus, and nothing is pinned to the screen in a way that can cover the item you have tabbed to.
- A focus indicator you can actually see. Every focusable element gets a thick outline, and the outline colour changes on darker sections of the page so it stays clearly visible against whatever is behind it.
- Colour contrast. Every piece of text has been measured against the actual colour behind it, not assumed. Form field boundaries and interface elements are held to the same standard. Colour is never the only way information is conveyed.
- Text you can resize and restyle. The page still works at double the text size, and it survives if you override line height, letter spacing or word spacing with your own settings — nothing is clipped or lost.
- Reflows to a narrow screen. The layout adapts down to a small phone-width screen without forcing you to scroll sideways to read.
- Alt text on images. Our publishing process flags any image published without a text alternative so it gets caught before it reaches you.
- Reduced motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, animation and transitions are switched off.
What we deliberately did not do
We do not use an accessibility overlay or accessibility widget — the kind that adds a floating icon promising one-click compliance.
Those tools do not fix the underlying page. Disability advocates have consistently opposed them, many screen reader users actively block them, and sites that install them have not been protected from complaints. We would rather build the page correctly than install something that announces good intentions.
Tell us if something does not work
If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, we want to know, and we will treat it as a bug rather than a suggestion.
Email: hello@internetserviceguide.com
Please tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and what happened. If you use assistive technology, telling us which one helps us reproduce the problem. We aim to respond within three business days.
