We're a small family project, and we'd hate for anyone to get stuck because a page didn't work with their screen reader or keyboard. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard most people mean when they talk about an accessible website.
What we've built in
- You can get around the whole site with just a keyboard, and there's a "Skip to main content" link plus a clear focus outline so you always know where you are.
- Real headings and page landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer) so screen readers can jump around instead of reading every word.
- Text and buttons meet AA color-contrast targets, so they stay readable in bright light or with low vision.
- If your device is set to reduce motion, we turn off the smooth-scrolling and animations.
- Images carry text descriptions, and the city search box is labeled and announces its suggestions as you arrow through them.
Where we fall short
A couple of honest caveats. Some things on the page come from other companies, the ads, embedded maps, and links out to event organizers, and we don't fully control how accessible those are. And since it's just us, we don't catch everything. If you hit a wall, telling us is the fastest way it gets fixed.

Email info@kidseventsthisweek.com with the page you were on and what went wrong. If you can, mention the browser and any assistive tech you use, it helps us reproduce it. We read every message and we'll work with you to get the information another way if you need it.
