Accessibility

The accessibility toolbar

Look for the floating accessibility button in the bottom-left corner of any page. It opens a small panel of reading options; whatever you switch on stays switched on for this device, across the whole site, until you decide otherwise.

• Larger text: scales the site's type up a step or two.
• High contrast: deepens the text and sharpens every link's colour.
• Underline links: every link gains an underline so nothing hides in the prose.
• Readable font: swaps in a plainer typeface, spaced a touch more generously.
• Pause motion: stills the site's animations and movement.
• Highlight focus: a bold outline tracks the keyboard as you tab around.

The panel's Reset control switches everything back off in one press. The whole toolbar works from a keyboard alone and calls no outside service.

Built into the site itself

The site is designed against WCAG 2.1 level AA as the working target. No formal certification or third-party audit sits behind that claim, and we say so plainly; what does sit behind it is a set of deliberate choices:

• A device set to reduced motion gets a still site automatically; the toolbar's pause switch is on top of that, not instead of it.
• Text colours are picked to read clearly against their backgrounds even before the high-contrast switch is touched.
• One layout that reflows from a phone to a wide desktop without stranding or clipping content along the way.
• Photographs that carry meaning carry alt text too; purely decorative graphics are flagged as such and stay silent.
• Real heading structure, page landmarks and a skip-to-content link, so a screen reader or a keyboard walks each page in a sensible order.
• The Two-Truck Test announces its result to assistive technology, states its figures as text, and the page still explains the sizing arithmetic with JavaScript switched off.
• The quote form works without JavaScript and every field carries a real label.
