Accessibility statement

Last updated: 26 September 2026

The Arabic version of this page is the binding one; this is a faithful rendering of it.

Our aim

EventSheets aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA for every page a visitor, an attendee or an organiser uses. The site is built in Arabic and English, reads right-to-left and left-to-right, and is meant to work on a phone as well as a desktop.

What is in place

• Every button and link carries a text label; no control is an icon alone.
• Colour contrast on toolbar and action buttons was measured in a browser and brought to 4.5:1 or better where it fell short.
• Forms state which formats and sizes they accept before you choose a file, and say in words what went wrong when a save is refused.
• Dates are written out with their year in both calendars, and times carry their time zone and are shown in yours.
• Printed material (certificates, tent cards, badges) is generated at real sizes for your own printer, with no colour fills that would print grey.
• Error pages are in the reader's language and say what to do next.

How it was measured

On 26 September 2026 the public pages (home, event listings, an event page, pricing, in both languages) were run through axe-core 4.10 against WCAG 2.1 A and AA. The page structure passed; what failed was colour contrast on the site's light green and on two accent buttons, an unlabelled paginator, and wide tables that could not be reached by keyboard. All three were repaired the same day: text colours were darkened to 4.5:1 or better (each ratio is recorded beside its rule in the stylesheet), every control now shows a visible focus ring, and scrolling regions are keyboard-focusable. Icons on this site are decorative: every button and link carries its word.

This is a self-assessment with an automated tool, not an independent audit; the site does not claim full WCAG conformance until an independent review has been carried out and its report published here.

Known limitations

• The administration screens and the organiser's forms were measured the same night with the same tool: the sidebar, icon links and table checkboxes now carry names, every action button in the tables is reachable by keyboard, and the theme's colours were darkened. No session with a person who uses a screen reader daily has been held yet; if you are one, we would like to hear from you.
• Event descriptions, images and attached files are written and uploaded by organisers; the site cannot guarantee that an organiser's PDF is tagged or that an image carries a description.
• The map page depends on a third-party map and is not usable without a pointer; the same events are available as a list, an archive and a calendar.
