THE PLANNING JOURNAL
Accessibility and reading options
The journal uses simple static pages so its articles and planning guides remain directly accessible as text.
Finding your way through a page
The first keyboard link lets you skip to the main content. Main navigation, footer navigation and article contents are standard links. Keyboard focus has a visible outline. A reader does not have to drag an object, solve an interaction or use a timed control to open a guide.
The header offers the planning directory, Blog and About on every page. The footer repeats those reading destinations and links to site information. The error page provides a route back when an address is unavailable. Article contents link directly to the relevant section headings.
Text and illustrations
Each page has one principal heading followed by a structured sequence of section headings. Information in the planning examples is written as text rather than embedded in an image. The skyline illustration has a descriptive alternative and is not required to understand the steps in a guide.
The site uses locally served styles and illustrations, with standard system fonts. No video, sound, animation or external map is required to read the material. Colour supports hierarchy but does not carry an instruction by itself.
Smaller screens and zoom
The main navigation wraps on narrow screens. Multi-column sections become a single reading flow, and article contents move above the prose. Images scale within the page. Browser zoom remains available to enlarge text and other elements.
These features describe the implementation. They do not constitute a formal accessibility certification or proof of compatibility with every browser, device or assistive technology. Representative checks are useful but cannot substitute for every individual reading experience.
External destinations
Official sources linked from the journal are separate websites. Their maps, purchase tools or interactive features may work differently from this static publication. Consult the destination’s own accessibility information where relevant to a service you intend to use.
For the purpose of this edition, read About. The planning directory provides direct links to the two guides, and the privacy statement explains the functions that are and are not present here.
