Accessibility
This site is built to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA. If something here stops you using it, email me and I will fix it.
What that means in practice
- Every page works with a keyboard alone, and the focus outline is always visible.
- A skip link is the first thing you reach on every page, so you can jump past the navigation.
- Every piece of text on the site — 419 of them — has been measured against the colour actually behind it. All pass: the lowest normal-size text is 4.53:1 against a 4.5:1 requirement, and the lowest large text is 4.18:1 against a 3:1 requirement.
- Headings run in order, and the page structure is real HTML rather than styled divs.
- Every image that carries meaning has a description; decoration is hidden from screen readers.
- The one animation on the site stops entirely if your system is set to reduce motion, and shows its finished state instead.
- Nothing depends on colour alone, and nothing moves or refreshes on its own.
- Text reflows to a phone screen without a horizontal scrollbar.
What has not been checked
This is an honest list, not a disclaimer. The site has been tested by hand at phone, tablet and desktop widths, with a keyboard, and with contrast measured rather than eyeballed. It has not had an independent accessibility audit, and it has not been tested with a real screen reader by someone who uses one daily. Automated checks and a careful developer catch a lot, but they do not catch everything.
Three things I already know about. The case studies include short videos that have no captions yet. The diagram on the home page tells its story through motion; the same information is in the text beside it, but the motion itself is not described. And the small grey labels on the work thumbnails clear the contrast requirement by 0.03 — they pass, but with no room to spare, so they are on the list to darken.
Telling me about a problem
