Accessibility statement

This website aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

Draft: designer to check

What to check
  • Do the manual checks in MANUAL-GUIDES Guide 10 (keyboard, NVDA, zoom, reduced motion, a real phone) before launch, then update “How this site was tested”, “Known issues” and the date.
  • Only call the site fully compliant once the manual checks pass. Until then it says it hasn’t been fully tested by hand.
  • Promising to reply and “get you the information another way” is a commitment. Keep it, or change it.
  • The tests are run by hand before changes, not by CI on every change (CI is off, your call for cost). If you switch CI back on, the page can say “on every change” again.
  • Until CONTACT_EMAIL is set on the Worker (Cloudflare dashboard, MANUAL-GUIDES Guide 7b), the forms are the only way to reach you through the site, and Known issues says so. Set it before launch.

Prepared on 10 November 2026 (draft).

What you should be able to do

  • Use every page and form with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline.
  • Use the site with a screen reader.
  • Zoom to 400% without text being cut off or needing to scroll sideways.
  • Turn off animation: the site follows your device’s “reduce motion” setting, and the 3D map can be switched off at the bottom of every page.

The 3D map

The 3D map on the home page is decorative. Everything it shows is also in the text on the page. The town labels on the map are shortcuts for mouse and touch users. Keyboard and screen reader users can use the list of town links instead, which goes to the same sections.

How far the site meets the standard

The site is built to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA and has been checked with automated tools. It hasn’t yet been fully tested by hand, so I can’t yet say it fully meets the standard. This statement will be updated when the manual testing is done.

How this site was tested

Every page has been checked with axe (an accessibility testing tool) on desktop and mobile screen sizes, and with Google Lighthouse on mobile. There are also automated tests for using the menu, the town tour, the price builder, the health check and the forms with a keyboard. Manual testing with a screen reader, zoom and real phones is planned before launch.

Known issues

  • The “verify you are human” check on forms is provided by Cloudflare, so I can’t change how it works. If it doesn’t work for you, there’s no other way to reach me through this site yet. I’m sorry about that.
  • Manual testing hasn’t been done yet (see above). Anything it finds will be listed here.

Feedback

If something doesn’t work for you, please get in touch through the contact page and tell me the page and the problem. I’ll aim to fix it, or get you the information another way.
