Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

We build websites for a living, so we think there’s no excuse for one that locks people out. We work to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA on this site and on the sites we build for clients.

Conformance status

This site is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. “Partially conformant” is the honest description: most of the standard is met, and the parts that aren’t are listed below. An accessibility statement that overstates what’s true is worse than none at all.

What we’ve done

• Keyboard navigation. Every interactive element can be reached and operated without a mouse, and a “Skip to content” link jumps straight past the navigation to the main content.
• Semantic structure. Proper headings in order, landmark regions and real lists, so screen readers can navigate by structure rather than guesswork.
• Text alternatives. Meaningful images carry descriptive alt text; decorative ones are hidden from assistive technology so they aren’t announced.
• Color contrast. Text is checked against its background for contrast.
• Reduced motion. Animation respects the prefers-reduced-motion system setting and switches off when it’s enabled.
• Content without scripts. Where a section is interactive — the FAQ and the process timeline, for instance — the content is still readable if scripts don’t run.
• Resizable text. The layout holds together when text is enlarged.
• Real form labels. Inputs are properly labeled and grouped, and errors are described in text rather than by color alone.

Where we still fall short

• We haven’t tested with real screen readers. The structure is built and checked to the standard, but we haven’t sat down with JAWS, NVDA or VoiceOver and worked through every page. That’s the biggest gap here, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise.
• No independent audit. Everything below was assessed by us, not by a third-party specialist.
• Longer-form content and any third-party embeds have not been fully reviewed.
• Video backgrounds are decorative and carry no captions. No information is conveyed by them alone, so nothing is lost if they don’t play — but they do move, which is why the reduced-motion setting is respected.
• A couple of wide-screen decorative elements are hidden on smaller screens rather than reflowed.

How we assessed it

By manual review rather than by an automated score. We swept the site page by page checking heading order, alt text, accessible names for links and buttons, tap target sizes, contrast, layout overflow, and console errors — and fixed what that turned up, including footer headings that broke navigation-by-heading for screen reader users.

Last reviewed 12 August 2026. We re-check after any significant design change.
