Accessibility.
Our approach to readable, keyboard-friendly navigation and accessible site features.
Homesprout is designed to work on desktop, tablet and mobile screens with readable text, clear navigation, descriptive link labels and basic keyboard access. We aim to make the publication useful without requiring an account, mouse-only interaction or specialist software.
How the website is built
Pages use semantic HTML and a responsive layout. The main navigation, article links and interactive tools are intended to be reachable with a keyboard. Where possible, controls have visible focus indicators and text labels. Images that are only decorative use empty alternative text; meaningful visual content receives a description.
JavaScript and optional functions
The guide pages and primary navigation links remain available without JavaScript, but instant article search, category filtering, the saved reading list and checklist persistence use JavaScript. If those controls are unavailable, the complete article directory remains accessible through All guides.
Contact about barriers
If you find a page hard to use, please send the page link, a description of the issue and any assistive technology details you would like to share to hello@homesprout.com.au. We appreciate feedback that helps us improve the publication.
