Accessibility statement

What I aim for

The site is built to work towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

What is in place

• Clear heading structure and semantic markup.
• Full keyboard navigation with a visible focus outline, and a skip to content link.
• Labels on every form field, with clear error messages. If a form is sent with something missing, the field is marked and your focus moves straight to it.
• Focused and linked content is kept clear of the fixed menu bar, so it is never hidden behind it.
• Links inside text are underlined, not shown by colour alone.
• A high contrast colour scheme intended to be comfortable to read.
• Respect for the reduce motion setting. If your device has reduced motion turned on, the scrolling animations and movement are switched off and the content is shown plainly.
• Meaningful images have descriptive text, and decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
• A responsive layout that adapts to phones, tablets and desktops, with large tap targets.
• Every page template is checked automatically against WCAG 2.2 AA before each release, at desktop and phone widths.
• The interactive product demos are operable by keyboard, with annotations that open on focus or click, charts that carry a written summary, status shown with text as well as colour, and a plain-text explanation available for each demo.

Known limitations

• Some sections use scroll driven storytelling. A reduced motion mode is provided for anyone who prefers it.
• Some background imagery is illustrative and is intentionally given empty alternative text so it is skipped by screen readers.
