Accessibility

Cine Archive aims to be an archive open to everyone. Accessibility is part of that idea of the public good: a site anyone can read and use, with or without assistive technology. This statement describes what we do, what we know is still missing, and how to tell us.

Our commitment

We work towards level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). This is an ongoing goal, not a certification: we review accessibility whenever we add new features.

What we have considered

Semantic HTML: hierarchical headings, landmark regions (header, navigation, main, footer) and real lists, so screen readers can announce the structure.

Keyboard navigation: you can reach links, buttons and forms with the Tab key, with a visible focus indicator. There are no keyboard traps.

Alternative text on posters and covers, and labels (aria-label) on controls that have no visible text.

Light and dark themes, and a generous typographic design intended to keep good contrast in both modes.

Responsive layout that works with zoom and on small screens without loss of content.

We honour «prefers-reduced-motion»: if your system asks for less animation, we reduce motion.

Known limitations

The periodicals viewer is embedded from the Internet Archive (archive.org). Its accessibility depends on that service and is outside our control.

Trailers play through the embedded YouTube player, subject to YouTube’s own accessibility.

We have not yet carried out a full external audit, so issues we are not aware of may remain. That is why your report helps.

How to tell us

If you hit an accessibility barrier —something you cannot read, focus or use— write to sfmrbb@gmail.com. Tell us the page, what you were trying to do and, if you can, the browser or assistive technology you use. We try to respond and fix things as soon as possible.
