How accessible this website is
This website is partially conformant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, level AA. Partially conformant means most of the website meets the standard, and the parts that do not are listed below rather than hidden.
We are not claiming full conformance yet. Automated testing and a full code review are complete and pass, but the manual testing that full conformance requires, particularly testing with real screen readers, is still in progress. When that is done this page will be updated with the result, whatever it is.
What we have done
Accessibility was treated as part of building the site, not as something added afterwards. Specifically:
- Every page can be operated with a keyboard alone, with a clearly visible focus indicator on every link, button and form field.
- A skip link at the top of each page lets you jump straight past the navigation to the main content.
- Text and interface colours meet the WCAG AA contrast minimums. Where our brand green did not, we changed the colour used for text rather than leave it failing.
- Menus, accordions and forms use real buttons and real labels, so a screen reader announces what they are and whether they are open, closed or selected.
- Images have text alternatives. Purely decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers instead of being read out as noise.
- Headings run in a logical order on every page, so you can navigate by heading.
- If your device is set to reduce motion, all animation on the site stops.
- The site works at 200% text size and on small screens without content being cut off or trapped.
The accessibility toolbar
Every page has an accessibility button in the bottom left corner. It opens a panel where you can change the text size up to 200%, widen text spacing, switch to a more readable or dyslexia-friendly font, turn on high contrast or dark mode, remove colour, highlight links and headings, enlarge the cursor, turn on a reading guide or reading mask, stop all animation, or hide images.
Your choices are saved in your own browser and applied automatically the next time you visit. Nothing is sent to us and nothing is stored on our servers. You can clear everything with the Reset all settings button.
This toolbar is there to give you control, not to stand in for an accessible website. It deliberately does not interfere with your own screen reader, magnifier or browser settings, which should always take priority.
Known limitations
We would rather tell you what is not finished than let you find out yourself:
- Testing with NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver is not complete. There may be wording that reads awkwardly with a screen reader even though the underlying markup is correct.
- The site has not yet been fully checked in Windows High Contrast (forced colours) mode.
- Reflow at a 320 pixel wide viewport (the same as 400% zoom) has been checked automatically on every page, but not yet by hand on every device.
- The portfolio section shows full-page screenshots of client websites. These are images of other people's sites, and the text inside them cannot be read by a screen reader. Each has a text alternative naming the client and the type of project.
- Blog posts published before this rebuild may contain older embedded content, tables or code blocks that have not been individually reviewed.
- Third-party content, such as WhatsApp, payment pages and anything hosted by another company, is outside our control and we cannot guarantee its accessibility.
Tell us if something does not work
If any part of this website stops you doing what you came to do, we want to know. You do not need to explain the technical cause or use the right terminology. Telling us what page you were on and what happened is enough.
We aim to acknowledge every accessibility report within two working days, and to tell you either when it will be fixed or why it cannot be. If you need information from this site in a different format, ask and we will send it to you directly.
If we do not put it right
If you report an accessibility problem and are not satisfied with how we respond, tell us so directly and it will be escalated to the business owner rather than handled by whoever replied first. Website 2 Design is based in Chennai, India, and works with clients internationally. Depending on where you are, you may also have the right to raise the matter with the equality or accessibility body in your own country.
How this was assessed
This statement is based on a self-assessment carried out by Website 2 Design. The site was checked against WCAG 2.2 level AA using automated testing with axe-core across every page template at both desktop and mobile widths, together with a manual review of the code, colour contrast calculations for every text and interface colour, and keyboard testing of the navigation, menus, accordions and forms.
A self-assessment is not an independent audit. If you need third-party certification for procurement or legal reasons, ask us and we will arrange it.
Accessibility for our clients
We build to this standard on client projects too, not only on our own site. If you are commissioning a website that has to meet WCAG 2.2 AA, or you have been told an existing site does not, we can audit it and fix it.
One thing worth knowing if you have been offered a quick fix: the one-click accessibility overlay widgets sold as plugins do not make a website compliant. They sit on top of the existing code at runtime, and sites running them are still the subject of accessibility complaints and lawsuits. Real conformance comes from the underlying markup, contrast, keyboard support and structure. That is the work we do.
Changes to this statement
This statement is reviewed whenever the website changes significantly, and at least once a year. The date at the top of this page is the date of the most recent assessment.
