Accessibility

BBQHQ aims to meet WCAG 2.1 at level AA. Every release is checked automatically against level A and AA rules, and a release with a violation does not ship — the accessibility suite is one of the thirteen gates the site must pass before it is built.

Automated and behavioural checks run over representative pages of every kind.

• Landmarks and heading order on every page template
• Keyboard operation of the navigation, search, calculators and disclosures
• A visible focus indicator, not merely a focusable element
• An accessible name on every interactive control
• The mobile navigation reporting its own expanded state
• Temperatures rendered in both scales wherever guidance figures appear

Automated testing does not prove usability. It cannot tell whether a diagram's description is genuinely useful to somebody who cannot see the diagram, or whether a page's reading order makes sense. BBQHQ's diagrams carry a title and a description written as part of the diagram rather than added afterwards, but they have not been tested with screen-reader users.

No formal third-party audit has been carried out. We would rather say so than imply one.

Where this page and a central HEKNO document differ on a matter the central document governs, the central document applies. The central instruments are published by HEKNO LTD and apply across its products:

• HEKNO privacy notice
• HEKNO terms of use
• HEKNO company information

• Terms of use — The terms on which BBQHQ is published, including what its cooking and safety information is and is not.
• Privacy notice — What BBQHQ collects, what it is structurally incapable of collecting, and how analytics is gated behind your consent.
• Cookies and storage — BBQHQ sets nothing before you choose. What is stored, by whom, and how to change your mind.
