Our goal. We want everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use screen readers, keyboards, voice control, or zoom. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.
What we have done
- A "Skip to main content" link at the top of every page for keyboard and screen reader users.
- Pages are organized with headings and landmarks (navigation, main content, and footer).
- Everything can be used with a keyboard, with a clearly visible focus outline.
- Images have text descriptions, and purely decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers.
- Form fields have labels, and error messages are announced to assistive technology.
- Text colors are chosen to have enough contrast against their backgrounds.
- The site works on phones and tablets, and text can be enlarged without breaking the layout.
- If your device is set to reduce motion, we turn off the moving background, scrolling reviews, and other animations.
- Links that open in a new tab say so.
Known limits
- The animated hero graphic and background are decorative and are skipped by screen readers.
- The step-by-step process section and the contact form change content as you move through them. We have set them up to announce changes, but we are always looking for ways to improve them.
- The websites we link to on our Our Work page are run by our clients and may not meet the same standards.
- We test with automated tools and by using a keyboard. We have not yet had a third-party accessibility audit.
