1Our Commitment

We believe that the internet should be accessible to all people, regardless of ability or disability. We strive to ensure that our website meets or exceeds the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

Accessibility is not just a compliance requirement for us — it is a core part of how we design and build websites for our clients. We practise what we preach by maintaining high accessibility standards on our own website.

Our website includes the following accessibility features:

Semantic HTML structure with proper heading hierarchy for screen reader navigation
Sufficient colour contrast ratios meeting WCAG 2.1 AA standards
Keyboard navigation support throughout the entire website
Visible focus indicators for interactive elements
Alternative text for all meaningful images
Responsive design that works across all devices and screen sizes
Dark mode and light mode options for visual comfort
Clear and consistent navigation structure
Form labels and error messages that are programmatically associated with their controls
Skip navigation links for keyboard users
No content that flashes more than three times per second

3Standards We Follow

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities.

We also follow the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 where applicable.

4Testing and Evaluation

We regularly test our website for accessibility using a combination of:

Automated testing tools (axe, WAVE, Lighthouse)
Manual keyboard navigation testing
Screen reader testing (NVDA, VoiceOver)
Colour contrast analysis
User testing with people who have disabilities
Regular code reviews focused on accessibility
