A note on the design

This publication has been designed to fully comply with the UKAAF’s MS03 and G003 guidelines. It loads with an 18px font size on viewports up to 800px wide, and 50px font size on viewports 800px and wider.

Customised accessibility functions allow users to change the font from sans serif to serif, increase and decrease font size, line height and word spacing to allow comfortable reading. The background can be changed to reduce contrast and overall brightness, as well as changing the site’s highlight colours. The website remembers users’ preferences for the next time they visit. The site can be navigated by screenreader, keyboard or mouse.

Other decisions such as margin size, line height and word spacing have all been carefully considered. Headings are clearly identified by a heavier weight. Where italics would ordinarily be used, we have instead used single inverted commas, this punctuation may be read differently by different screen readers, so there’ll be some audio variation.

This website hopefully demonstrates that inclusive design can also be beautiful and engaging.

Slow emergency siren, ongoing is also available as a large format, 18pt, coil bound book.
