Accessibility in Practice

  • High-contrast colour palette tested to WCAG 2.2 AA

  • Clear, non-decorative typography with increased line spacing

  • Simple, consistent layouts to reduce cognitive load

  • Logical heading structure and predictable navigation

  • Icons and calls-to-action never rely on colour alone

Accessibility Checks

  • WCAG 2.2 AA alignment review

  • Colour contrast testing

  • Keyboard navigation support

  • Screen reader considerations

  • Zoom and reflow tested to 200%

Outcome

Calmer, more usable website that improves access for screen reader, keyboard, and neurodivergent users — without singling anyone out.

Why This Matters

Accessibility was built into the brand, layout, and content structure from the start, demonstrating accessible graphic and digital design in practice.
