Accessibility

Last updated 21 September 2026

Technology should serve everyone. Accessibility is treated here as a requirement, and it shapes how every page is built.

The standard this site works to

This site aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. Those guidelines rest on four ideas: you can perceive the content, you can operate the controls, you can understand what is in front of you, and the page works with the assistive technology you already use.

Compliance is the floor. The aim is that everyone can actually use what is here.

What is built in

Seeing and reading

• Text and background colours are checked against WCAG contrast ratios.
• Text can be enlarged with browser zoom without the layout breaking, down to a phone-width screen.
• Images that carry meaning have text alternatives. Decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
• Links inside text are underlined, so colour is never the only signal.

Moving around

• Every control can be reached and used with a keyboard alone.
• A “Skip to content” link is the first stop on every page.
• The element that has keyboard focus always shows a visible outline.
• Pages use one main heading and headings that step down in order, so a screen reader can outline the page.
• Buttons and other touch targets are at least 24 by 24 pixels.

Motion

• Some pages animate as you scroll. If your device is set to reduce motion, those animations are replaced with still images.
• Nothing on this site has a time limit.

Forms

• Every form field has a label that assistive technology can read.
• Error and success messages appear on the page as text and are announced to screen readers.

How it is tested

• Automated scans with axe-core, an open-source accessibility testing engine, on every page template at desktop and phone widths. The most recent full scan was on 21 September 2026.
• Manual keyboard checks of the navigation, the forms and the booking flow.
• Feedback from the people who use the site. Every report is read.

Automated tools catch only part of what can go wrong. This site has not yet had an independent audit by an accessibility specialist, and it has not yet been tested end to end with every screen reader.

Known limits

• The Neural Canvas illustrations are dense images. Each one has a text description, and each panel has a written explanation beside it, but the drawing itself cannot be fully conveyed in text.
• Answers from the Ask assistant are generated, and their wording cannot be reviewed in advance.
• The booking form comes from a separate plugin and is still being brought up to the same standard as the rest of the site.
