Accessibility statement
I want everyone to be able to use this site, including people who use screen readers, keyboards or larger text.
The standard I build to
This site is built to WCAG 2.2 AA. WCAG is the international set of guidelines for making websites usable by people with a disability, and AA is the level most organisations aim for. I build client sites to the same level.
What that means on this site
- You can use everything with a keyboard alone, and you can always see where you are on the page.
- A "Skip to content" link lets you jump past the menu.
- Text and buttons have enough contrast against their background to read easily.
- The page still works when you zoom in or make the text larger, and on small phone screens.
- Headings and page regions are marked up so screen readers can move around the page.
- Every form field has a visible label, and any error is written out in words next to the field it belongs to.
- The example phone at the top of the home page changes on its own, but there's a button to pause it. If you've asked your device to reduce motion, it starts paused.
- Nothing else moves unless you click or tap it.
How I check it
Before every update goes live, an automated test (axe) checks each page on a phone-sized and a desktop-sized screen, and a second test checks the contrast of every colour pairing. The update can't go live if either test fails.
Automated tests only catch some problems, so I also check by hand with a keyboard and with VoiceOver, the screen reader built into Mac and iPhone. Last checked by hand: November 2026.
Parts I don't control
- "Book a free call" opens a booking page run by Google Calendar. I don't control how that page is built.
- If JavaScript is turned off in your browser, sending the contact form takes you to a confirmation page run by Formspree.
If either of those gets in your way, email me and I'll arrange a time or reply to you directly.
Tell me about a problem
