We want everyone to be able to use this website, whatever device they use and however they browse. We also check other organizations’ websites for accessibility, so we hold our own site to the same standard.

Our standard

We aim for this website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. These are the international guidelines for making websites usable by people with disabilities.

What we’ve done

  • Text and buttons have enough contrast to read comfortably, measured against the guidelines.
  • Every page works with a keyboard alone, with a clearly visible outline showing where you are, and a “Skip to content” link at the top.
  • Images have text descriptions, and decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
  • Forms have visible labels, and errors and confirmations are announced to screen readers.
  • Motion is kept gentle. If your device is set to reduce motion, animations and page transitions are switched off. Scrolling previews of client websites can be paused.
  • Pages work when zoomed and on small screens, and buttons and links are large enough to tap.

How we test

We test every page with automated accessibility checks and then by hand: tabbing through each page with a keyboard, measuring color contrast and checking the site with motion turned off. Google also checks the site automatically every week. We review the site again whenever we make significant changes.

Where we’re still working

No website is perfect, and automated tools can’t catch everything. Some work on this site shows other organizations’ websites in screenshots, which describe the project rather than reproduce every word on them. If anything on this site gets in your way, we want to know.

Need this for your own website?

We carry out WCAG accessibility audits for other organizations, and fix what we find. Start a project or run the free website health check for a quick first look.
