Hi Brian, Øystein from Highcharts here.

I have to somewhat apologize for the state of most of our demos when it comes to a11y. Indeed as Lucy says the demos are long due for an a11y overhaul, and this is high on our roadmap. The website in general is currently in the midst of a redesign which should greatly improve a11y. I am happy to forward any input you might have on either the product or website.

For a more accessible charting experience, check out https://www.highcharts.com/a11y.html <https://www.highcharts.com/a11y.html>.

Best regards,
