Accessibility

We build sites for a living, so it would be poor form if ours locked people out. This page says honestly where it stands, including the parts that are not perfect.

Last updated 8 August 2026

What we aim for

We target WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This is a voluntary commitment — as a private business site it is not covered by the EU Web Accessibility Directive, which applies to public sector bodies.

What is in place

  • Every animation on the site is disabled when your system is set to reduce motion — the intro, the scroll parallax and the choreography all stop, and content appears immediately
  • The page works from the keyboard, and focus is visible: a solid outline in the studio blue, never removed
  • One h1 per page and a real heading order beneath it, so screen reader users can navigate by heading
  • The giant wordmark is marked decorative; the actual page heading is text a screen reader will read
  • Decorative artwork carries empty alt text so it is skipped rather than read aloud as a list of paintings
  • Body text and labels were checked against WCAG contrast minimums on both the light and dark grounds
  • Text scales with browser zoom and no viewport zoom restriction is applied

Where it falls short

We would rather tell you than let you discover it:

  • The home page is built around a long scroll-driven animation. With reduced motion enabled it settles immediately, but the page is still tall and the experience is not equivalent to a conventional layout
  • The interactive display word in the studio section responds to cursor position, so its effect is unavailable on keyboard and touch. It is decorative and hidden from screen readers, and no information is lost by missing it
  • The rotated pricing cards are a visual treatment only; their content is read in a normal order
