This page sets out the standard the site aims for, what that means in practice, and how to flag anything that isn’t working for you.
The standard
This site targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Accessibility is treated as part of the craft rather than a box to tick - a site that’s easy to use for everyone is simply better work.
What this means in practice
- The site is built on semantic HTML, with a logical reading order.
- Every interactive element - the menu, links, form fields and buttons - is reachable and operable by keyboard, and the menu closes with Escape.
- Animation and section reveals respect the prefers-reduced-motion setting; if your device asks for less motion, the site holds still.
- A light and dark theme follow your operating-system preference automatically, with a manual toggle in the menu.
- Type scales between small and large viewports so content stays readable at any width.
- Fonts are self-hosted rather than loaded from a third-party CDN, so reading the site doesn’t send your data to outside infrastructure.
- No cookie banner, no analytics, no tracking scripts, no autoplay media, no pop-ups or interstitials.
- Form fields have proper labels, required fields are marked, and validation messages are announced to assistive technology.
Known limitations
The site is improved continuously, and a few areas aren’t yet at the standard intended:
- In the light theme, some small grey and gold text sits just below the AA contrast ratio. This is being refined; the dark theme already meets it.
- Focus indication on a few links is currently shown by a colour change; clearer focus styles are being added.

A note on the practice
Accessibility isn’t a finished state. It’s a practice that keeps moving - as standards evolve, as the site grows, and as we learn from people who use it differently. This statement reflects where things are today, and it’s updated as the work continues.
