Accessibility statement

Commitment

I want this site to be usable by everyone, including people who use assistive technology or rely on keyboard navigation. The site is built to comply with WCAG 2.2 Level AA, which is the standard the UK government recommends for public-sector websites and which I treat as the minimum bar for everything I build.

What this means in practice

• Body copy is set around 19px, with line-height 1.6 and a maximum reading width.
• Colour contrast meets WCAG AA on all text.
• Every page has semantic landmarks (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer>) and a skip-to-content link at the top.
• Interactive elements have visible keyboard focus styles.
• Images carry meaningful alt text, or are marked decorative.
• Animations respect prefers-reduced-motion.
• Touch targets are at least 44 × 44 pixels on mobile.

Known limitations

At the time of writing, no third-party embeds are present on the site. If any are added later, their accessibility is the responsibility of the third party, but I will note any known gap on the page where the embed appears.

This statement has not yet been independently audited. If you find an accessibility barrier I have missed, please tell me and I will fix it.

Get in touch

Email james@willcocks.uk with the URL of the page, what you were trying to do, and what got in the way. I aim to respond within five working days and to fix any genuine barrier within ten.

Legal context

This statement is published in the spirit of the Equality Act 2010, which requires service providers to make reasonable adjustments. Although this site is a private business rather than a public-sector body, I treat the public-sector accessibility regulations as the right floor.
