Our own accessibility statement

Inclusive Forge sells accessibility audits. The first fair question is whether this site passes its own audit, so here is the answer in full, including the parts that are not perfect.

What we aim for

This site targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which is the technical standard EN 301 549 incorporates for the web. Text contrast on this site is held to Level AAA, not AA, because a product that finds insufficient contrast in other shops has no business shipping the minimum itself.

The target is checked mechanically on every build. The ruleset we sell runs against this site as part of the test suite, and the build fails if it finds anything. Colour tokens are checked against the contrast formula from the specification, not against a designer opinion.

How this site is built for it

  • Every page works without JavaScript. The one script on this site pauses an animation and reveals a row in a table; nothing you need is behind it.
  • Nothing scrolls, moves or animates for longer than twelve seconds on its own, and the one repeating animation has a pause control.
  • If your system asks for reduced motion, every animation stops and each scene shows its finished state instead. No meaning is carried by movement alone.
  • The focus ring is the one coloured element of this brand. It is never removed, and it is visible on every surface.
  • Text can be zoomed to 200 per cent without anything being cut off, because the page is laid out in relative units and the viewport tag does not cap scaling.
  • Severity and status are never signalled by colour alone. There is always a word, a shape or a border pattern beside it.
  • The typeface is Atkinson Hyperlegible, drawn by the Braille Institute so that similar letters stay distinguishable.

Where we know we fall short

This section exists because a statement without one is a marketing page. These are open, not hidden:

  • The comparison table scrolls sideways on a narrow screen. It is reachable by keyboard and announced as a table, but reading it on a phone takes work.
  • The lens illustrations are decorative and hidden from screen readers on purpose. Their meaning is carried by the caption underneath, which means a screen reader user gets the sentence and not the picture.
  • We have run this site through automated checks and a keyboard pass. A full screen reader pass by a person who uses one daily is planned and has not happened yet. We will name the date here when it has.

Tell us when we get it wrong

Write to support@inclusiveforge.com with the page and what happened. You do not need to know the standard or name a criterion. "The button did not work with my keyboard" is a complete report.

We answer accessibility reports within three working days and say what we are going to do about it. If we decide not to fix something, we will say that too, and why.

How this statement is kept true

This page is not written once and forgotten. The claims above about contrast, motion, focus and scaling are each held by a test, and the build fails if one stops being true. That is the same mechanism we sell: a claim nobody re-checks is a claim that quietly rots.
