Accessibility statement,
including what we still fix.

We build this site to the standard we build client sites to. Here is how close it is, and what to do if something gets in your way.

Found a barrier?hello@acclaim.agency

Acclaim wants everyone to be able to use acclaim.agency, whatever device, browser or assistive technology they use. This statement covers the whole site.

How accessible this site is

We build the site to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. In practice that means:

  • Every page works with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus ring.
  • Text and controls keep a contrast of at least 4.5 to 1.
  • Pages follow a heading outline a screen reader can navigate.
  • Our own animations stop when your system asks for reduced motion.
  • The main content is in the page itself and can be read without JavaScript.

How we check it

  1. Automated checks on every change

    An automated accessibility test checks every change before we publish it, and every page once a night.

  2. Keyboard and screen reader checks

    We check key pages with a keyboard and a screen reader before major releases.

  3. Real browsers

    We check pages on phones and desktops in current browsers.

Plain English

Automated tests catch only part of the problems. The rest needs a person, which is why we do both.

What is not there yet

The booking calendar on the “Book a call” page is run by Calendly, so we do not control its markup. If it does not work for you, write to us and we will book the call by email instead.

The cookie banner is run by Cookiebot, so we do not control all of its markup. Some older blog posts still contain short videos that play on their own. Each one has controls to pause it.

Tell us about a barrier

We will fix the problem or, while we do, give you the same information another way.

Questions people ask

Which standard do you follow?

WCAG 2.1 at level AA, the standard the European Accessibility Act points to through EN 301 549.

Do you use an accessibility overlay?

No. Overlays do not fix the code underneath and often get in the way of assistive technology. We fix the site itself.

Can you make our site accessible too?

Yes. Accessibility is part of every site we build, and we also audit and fix existing sites.
