Accessibility

Built to be used, not just to look built.

This site was built to be usable by people who do not browse the way its designer does. Here is what that means in practice, what was tested, and what has not been.

01

Motion is optional

If your system is set to reduce motion, the site honours it. Scroll animations do not run, the homepage opens on its finished state instead of building, and nothing loops or pulses. The setting is respected everywhere, not just on the pages where motion is obvious.

02

Everything works from the keyboard

Every link, button, form field, tab and switch can be reached and operated with a keyboard alone, in an order that follows the page. The focus outline is always visible, in bronze against the dark ground. A skip link jumps straight to the main content before the navigation.

03

Text contrast is measured, not guessed

The colour pairings were checked with a contrast calculator rather than by eye. Body text measures 16 to 1 against the page, secondary text 7.8 to 1, and the lowest pairing anywhere on the site is 5.5 to 1, against the 4.5 to 1 the standard asks for. Colour is never the only way something is marked.

04

Structure a screen reader can follow

One main heading per page and headings in order beneath it. Form fields have real labels, not placeholder text standing in for them. Images that carry meaning have alt text; images that are decoration are marked as decoration so they are skipped rather than announced.

What was tested
  • Automated checks against WCAG 2.1 A and AA rules on every page, including each state of the interactive tools, with no violations outstanding.
  • A manual keyboard pass through every page: tab order, focus visibility, and every control operated without a mouse.
  • A reduced-motion pass confirming no animation runs and no content stays hidden.
  • Layout checked at 375 and 768 pixels wide with no sideways scrolling.
What this is not
  • This is a statement of how the site was built and tested. It is not a formal WCAG 2.1 AA conformance claim, and no third party has audited it.
  • Automated tools catch a minority of accessibility problems. The manual testing here was done by one person, and not with every screen reader, magnifier or switch device in use.
  • The Foundry's interactive tools are the most complex part of the site. If any of them is awkward to operate, that is worth knowing about.
