Accessibility
FanSion Sports should work for more people — including fans who are blind or low-vision, Deaf or hard of hearing, use a keyboard or switch, or get sick from motion.
The 10-second discovery rule
On Home and this page we show a clear Accessibility button for about 10 seconds so people can notice it. If nobody opens it, it slides to a small tab on the lower left (out of the way of the galaxy UI and nav). Access never disappears — only the chrome gets quieter. That balance is intentional: discoverable first, then calm product.
How to open these features
- Any page: bottom-left Accessibility control (or the small › tab after idle on Home / this page).
- Footer: link labeled Accessibility (this page).
- Keyboard: first Tab → “Skip to content”; or Tab to Accessibility, Enter. Escape closes the options panel.
- Your device: system zoom, “Reduce motion,” and high contrast still apply when available.

What we aim for
We design toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) ideas your class likely covered: content should be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. Major sites ship an on-page accessibility control plus keyboard and screen-reader support — FanSion does too.
Features you can turn on (like major sites)
- Text size — A / A+ / A++ / A+++
- Readable font — Lexend (clearer shapes for many readers)
- Text spacing — more line, letter, and word space
- Higher contrast — stronger black/white UI
- Underline links — don’t rely on color alone
- Stronger focus ring — thicker outline for keyboard users
- Reduce motion — calms stars, beams, and transitions
- Grayscale — lowers color distraction / sensory load
- Big cursor — larger pointer
- Reading mode — quieter background, focus on content
- Keyboard help — press ? or open from the panel
- Skip links — main, navigation, accessibility, footer
- Reset defaults — one tap to undo
Vision (blind, low vision, color)
- Screen readers: page language set, landmarks (header, main, nav, footer), labels on controls, decorative images hidden from assistive tech.
- Skip links: first Tab reveals jump options (main, nav, accessibility, footer).
- Text, not color alone: destinations use real link text; sample prices are labeled in words.
- Size / contrast / spacing / readable font: toggles above (also respect browser zoom).
- Focus: keyboard focus shows a clear outline (optional stronger ring).
Hearing (Deaf / hard of hearing)
- Core product is text and visuals — not audio-only instructions.
- YoYo chat is text-based. We do not require sound to use the site.
- If we add video later, we plan captions / transcripts.
Motor & keyboard
- Navigate with Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, and Space on buttons.
- Escape closes YoYo when open, and collapses the mobile menu when open.
- Important controls aim for about 44×44 px touch targets.
- Home “spotlight” details also work when a destination is focused with the keyboard — not hover-only.
Vestibular / motion sensitivity
- We honor prefers-reduced-motion (system setting).
- You can also force Reduce motion with the toggle above — turns off starfield particles and heavy beams/animations where we control them.
Cognitive / reading
- Short paths: Game Day, Stadiums, Learn, Tickets.
- Plain-language guides where we can; legal pages stay formal where required.
- Sample vs live prices are labeled so numbers are not misleading.
Known limits (honest)
- Some Learn / map visuals are still richer for sighted users; we keep text explanations nearby and keep improving.
- Third-party ticket sites (Ticketmaster, etc.) are outside our control once you leave FanSion.
- Full WCAG audit with a specialist is a good later step — this page documents what we ship now.
Feedback
If something blocks you, email fansionsports@gmail.com with the page and what you use (VoiceOver, TalkBack, keyboard, zoom, etc.). We want to fix real barriers.
