Accessibility
Everyone in a pool should be able to read the record, check a ticket and settle up, whatever device or assistive technology they use.
1. The standard
We build ShareTheWinning to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, in the light and the dark theme, on a phone-sized screen and on a desktop. It is our target, not a certificate: no outside auditor has reviewed the site yet.
2. How we check it
- Every release runs automated accessibility checks (axe) on the public pages and the member screens, in both themes, at 390 and 1280 pixels wide. A serious or critical problem stops the release.
- At each milestone a person walks the main tasks with the keyboard alone: create a pool, join one, record a ticket, check numbers, settle up.
- Every page starts with a "Skip to content" link, shows a visible focus ring, and labels every field. Sheets and dialogs keep focus inside them and close with Escape.
- Colours come from one set of design tokens chosen for contrast in both themes. Numbers on balls are always text, never only colour.
3. What is not right yet
- Reading a ticket from a photo needs a clear picture of the ticket. Typing the numbers or tapping them on the number grid always works instead.
- A few controls are smaller than the 44-pixel touch size we aim for; we are enlarging them.
- The pool agreement PDF is a simple printable form; the same text is on the agreement page as plain HTML.
- Spam protection on public forms comes from Google reCAPTCHA, which runs in the background. If the form's spam check blocks you, email info@sharethewinning.com instead; no check runs there.
- Ads on some public pages come from Google and are outside our control.
4. Tell us
If something is hard to use, please tell us what page and what you tried: write to info@sharethewinning.com or use the contact page. We answer every message and fix what we can, and we can send pool records in another format when you need it.
