How usable this site is, including the parts we have not finished.

What has been done

• Contrast was measured, not eyeballed. Every text colour on every background was checked against the AA ratio in the browser, including the quietest tone used for timestamps and labels. Two colours in the palette were changed because they failed.
• Everything works from the keyboard. There is a skip link to the main content, focus is always visible, and no control can be reached by a mouse but not by tabbing to it.
• Motion is a preference, not a decision. If your system is set to reduce motion, the animated sections stop animating and show you their finished state instead. Nothing is hidden behind an animation you did not ask for.
• It works without JavaScript. The enquiry form becomes one long form and still submits. The questions section is built on native browser elements rather than script. Nothing essential is only reachable once code has run.
• Structure is real. One first-level heading per page, headings in order, lists marked up as lists, form fields with proper labels, and errors tied to the field they belong to.
• No interruptions. No cookie banner, no pop-up, no newsletter overlay, nothing that appears over what you are reading.
• Targets are big enough to hit. Every button, link and control was measured rather than judged by eye. Anything that came back under the 24px minimum was made bigger — which is how the logo in the footer ended up with a tap target considerably larger than the logo itself.
• Text can be made bigger. The layout is built in relative units. It was checked at a 320px window with no sideways scrolling anywhere, and at 200% text on a desktop window. Text-only zoom past that on a narrow phone is the one case that still forces a sideways scroll on some sections; normal page zoom does not.

What is still outstanding

Being straight about this is the point of the page. The following have not been completed yet:

• A full pass with screen readers on desktop and mobile. The markup was written for it, but written-for is not the same as tested-with.
• An independent audit by somebody other than the people who built it.

Both are worth doing and neither has a date on it yet. When they happen, what was found will be written here — including anything that turns out to be wrong.

If something does not work

Tell us. Email info@mhjsolutions.co.uk with the page, what you were trying to do, and what happened — and what you are using, if you are happy to say, because it makes the problem far quicker to find.

A genuine accessibility fault on this site is a bug and gets treated like one. If it is going to take a while, we will tell you that rather than going quiet, and we will offer another way to get what you needed in the meantime.
