Trust and governance Accessibility
The site is designed toward WCAG 2.2 AA and treats accessibility as part of the creative and technical standard.
Working standard / July 2026
Interaction
Primary journeys support keyboard operation, visible focus, semantic controls, meaningful headings and skip navigation.
Motion and display
Animation responds to reduced-motion preferences. Layouts are designed to reflow, text remains selectable and contrast is reviewed across light, dark and signal-colour surfaces.
Continuous review
Accessibility is a maintained condition, not a one-time badge. If a page or interaction creates a barrier, tell us which route and task were affected so it can be investigated.
What that looks like in practice.
The same booking card, built two ways. Move between the lenses to see what the difference actually is for someone using it.
As most people see it As a screen reader hears it By keyboard only At low contrast
Both versions look broadly similar. That is exactly the problem: the failures are invisible until someone needs them not to be.
“edit text, blank”
“edit text, blank” — the error is not announced
Book now
not reachable by keyboard, announced as nothing Placeholder used instead of a label (WCAG 3.3.2)
Colour is the only error indicator (WCAG 1.4.1)
Control is not keyboard operable (WCAG 2.1.1)
Text contrast below 4.5:1 (WCAG 1.4.3)
Your name “Your name, edit text”
Email address Enter an email address so we can confirm the time “Email address, invalid entry, Enter an email address...”
Book now “Book now, button” — reachable by Tab, visible focus Every field has a persistent, associated label
Errors carry text as well as colour
Real buttons, operable by keyboard
Contrast checked against the ground it sits on
