Our commitment
This site is built to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA, and Level AAA where it is practical without harming the design. Accessibility was a build requirement here, not a retrofit.
Status: partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 AA — meaning it conforms in most respects, with the known exceptions listed below.
What we have done
- A visible skip link to the main content on every page.
- Semantic landmarks and a single logical heading order per page.
- Full keyboard operability, with a visible 2px focus indicator that meets the 2.2 focus-appearance criterion.
- Text contrast of at least 4.5:1 for body copy and 3:1 for large text and UI boundaries.
- Real form labels, described errors, and no reliance on placeholder text as a label.
- Descriptive alternative text on every meaningful image; decorative images hidden from assistive technology.
- Navigation, product gallery and accordions work without JavaScript.
- Motion respects
prefers-reduced-motion; nothing autoplays, flashes or moves without user action. - Layout reflows to 320 px and survives 200% zoom and 400% text scaling without loss of content.
- Target sizes of at least 24 × 24 px, and 44 px for primary controls.
Known issues
- Caramel text on the darkest ink surface measures approximately 4.6:1 — passes AA for body text, does not reach AAA. Under review for small-text uses.
- Third-party checkout pages are supplied by our payment provider and have not been independently audited.
- Some older product photography carries brief alt text that could be more descriptive; being rewritten.
Assessment and standards
Assessed by self-evaluation during the build, combining automated checks with manual keyboard and screen-reader testing. This site is not a public-sector body and so is not within scope of S.I. 358/2020, but we hold ourselves to the same standard.
