Accessibility
We want this site to be usable by everyone — whatever device, browser, or assistive technology you rely on. This page states where we stand, honestly, and how to reach us if something gets in your way
Accessibility is a craft commitment, not a checkbox. We hold ourselves to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA as the standard for this site and for the work we build for clients.
What we aim for
We design and build to WCAG 2.2 AA. In practice that means readable contrast, text that scales, structure that makes sense to a screen reader, and a site you can operate entirely from a keyboard — not only with a mouse or trackpad.
We also honour the Equality Act 2010 duty to make reasonable adjustments: if a part of this site or our service is difficult for you to use, tell us and we will help you directly while we fix the underlying issue.
What we’ve done
This site is built with accessibility in mind from the foundation:
- High-contrast text: body copy meets or exceeds the WCAG AA contrast ratio against the dark background
- Semantic structure: real headings, landmarks, and lists so assistive technology can navigate the page
- Full keyboard operation, with a clearly visible focus indicator on every interactive element
- Respects your system “reduce motion” setting — animation is suppressed when you ask for it
- Text reflows and remains readable when zoomed to 200%, and on small screens
- No content that flashes or relies on colour alone to convey meaning
- No cookie banners, pop-ups, or interstitials to trap focus or obstruct reading
Where we fall short
We’d rather be honest than claim perfection. We are aware of the following, and they are on our list to resolve:
- A small number of decorative interface flourishes may not yet expose ideal labels to every screen reader
- The site is actively being built out page by page; sections not yet published are, by definition, not yet tested
- We have not yet completed a full independent audit (see below)
If you hit a barrier that isn’t listed here, please tell us — it helps us fix the real problem, not just the ones we already know about.
How we test
We assess this site through a combination of automated checks (axe, Lighthouse) and manual testing: keyboard-only navigation, screen-reader passes, zoom and reflow, and reduced-motion. A full independent accessibility audit is planned as the site matures.
This statement reflects our honest assessment as of the date above and is reviewed whenever the site changes materially.
Tell us about a barrier
If you find something on this site you cannot access, or you need information from us in a different format (large print, plain text, accessible document), email [email protected]. Tell us the page and what went wrong, and we’ll respond within one business day — and provide the information you needed another way while we fix it.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS), which advises on rights under the Equality Act 2010.
