Accessibility

This site is built to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That was the target from the first commit rather than something added afterwards.

What that means here

• Every page has one h1 and headings in a logical order
• A skip link is the first thing a keyboard reaches
• Body text meets a 4.5 to 1 contrast ratio, and borders and large text meet 3 to 1
• Every input has a visible label, not a placeholder standing in for one
• The whole site works by keyboard, and focus is always visible
• The domain grade is shown as a letter and words, never by colour alone
• Results are announced to screen readers when they appear, and focus moves to them
• Motion is reduced for anyone whose system asks for that

Where we know we fall short

Nothing known at the time of writing. This section exists because an accessibility statement that claims perfection is usually one nobody tested. If you find something, it belongs here.

Testing

Pages are scanned with axe-core on our own infrastructure before release, and again as part of the deploy checklist. Automated testing catches perhaps a third of real barriers, so it is a floor and not a certificate.

Tell us

If any part of this site is hard to use, email support@watchdmarc.com. Accessibility problems are treated as faults, not feature requests, and we will tell you what we are doing about it within one working day.
