Accessibility.

How we build this site for as many people as possible, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.

Last updated

We want swainsugarman.com to work for as many people as possible, including people who use assistive technology such as screen readers. Accessibility is part of how we judge all our work, and this site is no exception.

At a glance

  • We aim to meet the WCAG 2.2 guidelines at level AA.
  • Every page works with a keyboard, and you can always see which element is selected.
  • Animations turn off when your device asks for reduced motion, and you can pause them at any time.
  • You can report a barrier to contact@swainsugarman.com.

Our standard

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. WCAG is the widely used standard for making websites usable by people with a wide range of disabilities.

What we do

  • Clear headings and labeled page regions, so assistive technology can move through each page.
  • Full keyboard access, a "Skip to content" link, and a visible outline on the selected element.
  • Enough color contrast to read text and see controls easily.
  • Text descriptions for meaningful images and icons.
  • Support for your device's reduced motion setting: when it is on, every page shows its content without animation.
  • A Pause animations button at the foot of every page, in the menu on small screens, and beside the moving logos on the home page. It stops every animation that repeats, and the site remembers your choice.
  • Layouts that fit any screen size and stay usable when you zoom in.

How we test

We test the site ourselves as we build it. We use every page with a keyboard alone. We measure color contrast on the page as it appears on screen, not only in the design files. We check the site with reduced motion on, on small screens, and at high zoom. Some parts may not yet fully meet our goal, and we fix problems as we find them.

Known limitations

Our booking calendar comes from Cal.com, a scheduling service, and loads inside the booking form on our home page. We do not control its code, so we cannot fix barriers inside it. If the calendar gets in your way, email us and we will find a time another way.

Report a barrier

If something on this site gets in your way, please tell us. Include what happened, which page you were on, and any assistive technology you were using. We will do our best to reply and to give you the information in a format that works for you.
