Accessibility Statement

Last updated: July 29, 2026

Casually Digital is committed to making this website usable by as many people as possible, including people who navigate with a keyboard, use a screen reader or other assistive technology, need larger text, or rely on higher colour contrast. Accessibility is part of how I judge whether a build has actually shipped, so I hold my own site to the same standard I hold client work to.

Conformance target

This site aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. At present the site is partially conformant, which means most of the standard is met but some parts have not yet been fully verified against every success criterion. I have not claimed full conformance because that claim should rest on a formal audit, and one has not been carried out yet.

What has been done

Specific measures currently in place:

• Keyboard operability. Every interactive element can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, including the services selector, which responds to Enter and Space and reports its state with aria-pressed.
• Visible focus. Links, buttons, and custom controls show a clear focus indicator when navigating by keyboard.
• Skip link. Every page begins with a "Skip to main content" link so keyboard and screen reader users can bypass the navigation.
• Accessible dialog. The contact dialog moves focus into itself when opened, keeps focus inside while open, hides the rest of the page from assistive technology, closes with the Escape key, and returns focus to the element that opened it.
• Colour contrast. Body text, labels, and captions are set to meet the WCAG AA contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against their backgrounds.
• Semantic structure. Pages use real headings, landmark regions, and labelled form fields, and content that changes without a page load is announced with a live region.
• Resizable, responsive text. The layout reflows down to small screens and text can be enlarged without content being lost or clipped.
• No motion or media hazards. There is no auto-playing audio or video, and nothing on the site flashes or blinks.
• Works without JavaScript. All page content is readable with JavaScript disabled, and the contact form still submits.
• No third-party fonts or trackers in the page. Fonts are served from this domain, and the site runs no advertising or cross-site tracking scripts, which keeps pages light on slower connections and assistive setups.

Known limitations

I would rather name these than imply they do not exist:

• No independent audit yet. The assessment behind this statement is a self-evaluation, described below, not a third-party certification.
• Limited assistive-technology testing. The site has not been tested across the full range of screen readers, magnifiers, voice-control tools, and browser combinations, and it has not been user-tested with people with disabilities.
• Custom control. The services selector is a custom ARIA control rather than a native HTML element. It is keyboard operable, but native elements are generally more predictable across assistive technologies.
• Newer WCAG 2.2 criteria unverified. Criteria added in WCAG 2.2, such as those covering target size and focus appearance, have not yet been formally checked.
• Third-party processing. Contact form submissions are handled by Formspree. I do not control their systems or their accessibility.

How this was assessed

This statement is based on a self-evaluation carried out in July 2026: a review of the site's markup, styles, and scripts against WCAG success criteria, followed by remediation of the issues that review identified. It did not include a formal third-party audit, testing with assistive-technology users, or automated scanning of the live site. I intend to close those gaps, and I will update this statement and its date when I do.

Tell me about a barrier

If you hit something on this site you cannot use, I want to hear about it, and I will treat it as a defect rather than a suggestion. Email hello@casuallydigital.com or use the contact form.

It helps if you can include the page address, what you were trying to do, and the browser, device, or assistive technology you were using, though please get in touch even if you would rather not go into detail. I aim to respond within five business days. If something is blocking you from reaching me about an engagement, say so and I will find another way to get you what you need.

Technical information

This site relies on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It is built to work in current versions of major browsers, with JavaScript used for enhancements rather than for access to content. Accessibility also depends in part on your browser and assistive technology supporting the standards this site uses.

Changes to this statement

I will revise this statement as the site changes and as further testing is completed, updating the "Last updated" date above.
