Accessibility statement

Last updated: 16 May 2026

My commitment

This site is designed to be accessible to as many people as possible. I aim for WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance as a minimum, and Level AAA where I can achieve it without compromising the design.

What I’ve done

• Semantic HTML throughout: headings, landmarks (header, main, footer, nav), lists, and proper document structure
• Skip-to-content link for keyboard users
• Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements
• Colour contrast ratios that meet WCAG AA (4.5:1 minimum for text), with AAA (7:1) achieved for body text and most UI elements
• Interactive target sizes of at least 24×24 pixels (WCAG 2.2 Level AA)
• Text resizes correctly up to 200% without loss of content
• All images have descriptive alt text
• Responsive design that works across screen sizes and orientations
• Breadcrumb navigation with aria-label and aria-current
• ARIA attributes on interactive elements (filters, share buttons, newsletter form)
• Live region (aria-live="polite") for form feedback messages
• No content that flashes, auto-plays, or requires timing
• No drag interactions or cognitive tests
• Readable typography: system fonts, 1.05rem base size, 1.7 line height
• Underlined links to distinguish them from surrounding text
• External links marked with a visual indicator (↗)
• Reduced motion respected via system preferences where applicable
• No third-party scripts that set cookies or interfere with assistive technology

Known limitations

• The newsletter signup form relies on JavaScript. If JavaScript is unavailable, the form will not function, but a direct link to the newsletter is provided as a fallback.

Reporting issues

If you encounter any accessibility barrier on this site, please email [email protected]. I take these reports seriously and will do my best to fix issues promptly.

Standards and testing

This site is tested with:

• Manual keyboard navigation
• Browser developer tools (contrast checkers, accessibility inspectors)
• axe DevTools automated testing

I target WCAG 2.2 Level AA as my minimum standard and Level AAA where achievable.
