01 Where we stand
We build websites for other businesses. It would be a strange thing to do that while leaving our own site unusable for a chunk of the people who might visit it.
So accessibility here isn't a compliance box. It was a phase of the build with its own work and its own testing, and the things below are things you can go and check.
02 The standard we aim at
We work towards WCAG 2.2 Level AA, the international guidelines most accessibility law refers to.
We aim at it. We don't claim to have fully met it, because we haven't had an independent audit, and a solo operator declaring his own site fully conformant is worth about what it costs. If you find somewhere we fall short, section 07 is how to tell us.
03 What we actually built
Keyboard
- Every control can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone — including the drag-to-compare sliders, which respond to the arrow keys.
- A visible focus ring follows you, so you always know where you are.
- A Skip to content link is the first thing you reach, so you don't have to tab through the whole menu on every page.
Screen readers
- Real page landmarks and headings in a sensible order, so you can jump around instead of listening to everything.
- Every form field has a real label, not just faint grey placeholder text that disappears when you type.
- Buttons and links say what they do rather than "click here", and controls that are only an icon still carry a name.
- Decorative artwork is marked as decorative, so it isn't read aloud as a filename.
Reading and tapping
- Text and background colours are checked for contrast, and line lengths are capped so paragraphs don't run the full width of a big monitor.
- Buttons and links are large enough to hit with a thumb, not just a mouse pointer.
- The carousel on the home page never advances on its own — it moves only when you move it.
- Text resizes with your browser's zoom without pieces falling off the screen.
Without JavaScript
Turn scripts off entirely and you still get the complete site: the same words, the same order, the same buttons, the same working contact form. That version isn't a stripped-down fallback — it's the base the rest is built on top of.
04 Motion, and turning it off
The home page has a lot of movement, and movement makes some people genuinely unwell. Two things handle that:
- Your system setting is obeyed. If your phone or computer is set to reduce motion, this site reads that before the first pixel is drawn — so you never catch a glimpse of the animated version before it stops.
- There's our own switch, in the header, on every page. It's labelled Reduce motion and it's there without scrolling, because a control for stopping the animation is useless at the bottom of the animation.
Switch it on and you get a completely different layout — the same content, standing still, in a design built for reading rather than the animated one with its animation removed. Nothing moves unless you move it.
05 Known limitations
The part most statements leave out. These are real and we're not pretending otherwise:
- The 3D animation on the home page is visual. It can't be meaningfully described to someone who can't see it. That's precisely why the reduced-motion version exists and carries the same message in words — but it does mean two visitors get a different experience of the same page.
- No independent audit yet. Everything here was tested by us. We intend to have it checked properly.
- Not tested with every assistive technology. We've done keyboard and screen-reader testing, but we can't claim to have covered every combination of software and device.
- The site asks phones to be held upright. Sideways, the animated version doesn't lay out well, so we show a message instead of a broken page. If that's a problem for how you use your device, turn on Reduce motion — that version works in any orientation.
- Third-party pages we link to — Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube — are outside our control, and their accessibility is theirs.
06 Why there's no accessibility widget
You may have seen sites with a floating accessibility button that opens a panel of toggles. We deliberately don't use one.
Those tools promise to fix accessibility automatically after the fact. Many disabled users report that they get in the way of the screen readers and keyboard setups they already use, and their presence has been cited as evidence against sites in accessibility lawsuits rather than in their favour.
We'd rather build the site properly than buy a badge that says we did. If we ever build one for a client, it will be for the same reason.
07 Tell us what's broken
If something on this site doesn't work for you, we want to know, and "doesn't work for you" is enough of a description — you don't need to identify the technical cause or quote a guideline.
Email admin@digibusinessbuilder.com and, if you can, mention:
- which page you were on;
- what you were trying to do;
- what happened instead.
We'll reply, and while we're fixing it we'll get you the information another way — read it to you over the phone, email it as plain text, whatever works. You shouldn't have to wait for a code change to get an answer.
