Accessibility.

We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, version 2.2, at level AA. That is the standard UK public sector bodies are held to, and it is a reasonable bar for commercial work as well.

Semantic HTML with a single main heading per page and a sensible heading order. Keyboard navigation throughout, with a visible focus style rather than one suppressed for aesthetics. Colour contrast checked against AA thresholds for body text.

Motion respects the reduced-motion setting in your operating system: if you have asked for less animation, the marquee and transitions stop. Text reflows to 320px without horizontal scrolling, and nothing depends on colour alone to make sense.

The work tiles use large decorative gradient artwork. It carries no information and is hidden from assistive technology rather than given a meaningless description.

This site has been assessed by its authors and has not been through an independent audit. We would rather say so than imply a certification we do not hold.

Accessibility is part of how we build rather than an item to be dropped when a budget tightens. Where a client needs a formal audit or a published accessibility statement of their own, we will say so at proposal stage and scope it in.

If any part of this site is difficult to use, we want to know — it is the fastest way it gets fixed. Email info@spicerdesigns.com or call 01484 315029, describing the page and what happened. We aim to reply within five working days.
