Accessibility

EVH is read on phones, often outdoors, often in a hurry. So:

• Every tap target is at least 44 by 44 pixels.
• Status is never shown by colour alone. There is always a word.
• All motion stops if your device asks for reduced motion.
• Text can be doubled in size without anything being cut off.
• A visible focus ring on everything reachable by keyboard.

Text contrast is measured in light and in dark, not assumed. The one brand colour, Park magenta, is kept for the mark and the main button. Amber, red and green always mean a status, and a status always comes with a word.

These are the problems I know about.

• The charts convey pattern visually. The heat map, the month bars and the outlook strip are read by eye. Each carries the same verdict in a sentence above it, but there is no per-area text summary yet.
• Picking a place on a map is hard without a pointer. Where a report asks for a location, a "Use my current location" button fills it in, but placing the pin by keyboard alone has not been tested.
• Some linked PDFs are not tagged for screen readers. These are documents published by EVML, Get Living and Newham, so EVH cannot fix them.
• Video captions are automatic. Embedded video is played from YouTube, so captions are YouTube's and are occasionally wrong on street names.

None of these has a fix date yet, and I would rather say so than publish one I then miss. If any of them is what stops you using EVH, tell me and it moves up the list.

If something here is unusable, email me at the address below and say what you were trying to do. I treat an accessibility report as a bug, not as feedback.

It helps to know what you were using (a screen reader and its version, a phone, a keyboard alone), but a sentence about what went wrong is enough to start.
