Accessibility & Credits

Last updated: 12 August 2026

1. Our approach

This site was built with accessibility in mind from the start, and manually checked as part of our normal production QA:

• Semantic HTML5 landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) and a single, correctly ordered heading structure — checked directly against the live site.
• All navigation links remain visible and usable with JavaScript disabled — verified by disabling the site's JS state and confirming the nav stays in normal document flow rather than staying pinned over content.
• The mobile menu toggle uses aria-expanded and aria-controls, opens and closes correctly, closes on Escape, and returns focus to the toggle button — each verified directly, keyboard-only.
• Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion and never delay access to content; a failsafe reveals any unshown content automatically.
• Every image on the site carries either descriptive alt text or an empty alt attribute for decorative images — checked programmatically across the live page, none missing.
• Color choices aim for strong contrast against the site's dark palette.
• The contact form's client-side validation, error states, and no-JS fallback message were all exercised directly.

2. Known limitations

What this QA pass was and wasn't: manual, targeted checks of the items above (semantics, keyboard behavior, alt text, no-JS resilience, form behavior) — the level of testing our standard website service includes. It was not a formal WCAG conformance audit, did not use automated accessibility-scanning tooling, and did not involve testing with real screen-reader or other assistive-technology software. If a client's project specifically calls for that deeper level of testing, it would be scoped and performed separately.
