Perceivable

Our accessibility statement

It would be a poor look to sell accessibility testing from an inaccessible site, so here is ours — produced with our own generator, and held to the standard we measure others against.

Conformance status

This site aims to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the conformance level referenced by EN 301 549. We declare partial conformance. We are not claiming full conformance, for the same reason we advise our users not to: automated testing cannot verify every criterion, and we have not completed an independent manual audit.

Measures taken

  • Every colour pair in the design system is checked against the 4.5:1 and 3:1 thresholds, in both the light and dark palettes.
  • Semantic HTML throughout. Native elements are used in preference to ARIA-decorated <div>s.
  • A skip link, one <main> landmark per page, and heading levels that descend without skipping.
  • Focus is always visible, with a 3px indicator; it is never removed.
  • Every form control has a real associated label. Placeholders are never used as labels.
  • The scan progress page works without JavaScript, via a meta-refresh fallback.
  • No cookie banner, because there is nothing to consent to.
  • prefers-reduced-motion and prefers-color-scheme are both honoured.
  • The site is tested with our own scanner on every deploy, and the live site is scanned from the public internet. It currently returns no automated WCAG 2.1 AA failures on any page, in light and dark themes, down to a 320 px viewport. As we say everywhere else: that is not the same as full conformance, which is why this statement declares partial.

Known limitations

  • Report pages can include long horizontally scrolling code samples. They are keyboard-scrollable and marked as regions, but they are not ideal at very narrow widths.
  • The score dial conveys its value through an aria-label; the visual number itself is hidden from assistive technology to avoid a duplicate announcement.
  • We have not yet completed a full manual screen reader pass of the checkout flow.

Feedback

If any part of this site is difficult to use, tell us at hello@perceivable.eu. We aim to reply within five working days. We would rather hear about it than not.

Preparation

Self-assessed using automated testing supported by manual review.
