Accessibility Statement

Compliance status

Usable Access is committed to making usableaccess.io accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability or the technology used to access it.

We build and test this site against WCAG 2.1 at Level AA.

We have chosen that standard rather than been assigned it. As of August 2026 no harmonised standard has been cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under the European Accessibility Act, so no standard currently confers presumed conformity with it. We track whether EN 301 549 has been cited under the Accessibility Act and date every check. EN 301 549 V3.2.1 is cited in the Official Journal, and it is cited in support of the directive covering public sector websites and mobile applications rather than this Act. We work to WCAG 2.1 Level AA because it is the level EN 301 549 V3.2.1 adopts and because it is the most detailed testable account of these requirements that exists.

Current position: We believe usableaccess.io is substantially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We evaluate the site against WCAG 2.1 Level AA following the W3C’s evaluation methodology (WCAG-EM): testing during development, and reviewing after any significant change to the site. Several colour pairs on this site achieve AAA contrast ratios (7:1 or above); the remaining pairs meet AA (4.5:1 or above).

Technical specifications

usableaccess.io is built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Pages are tested with the following assistive technologies and settings:

Screen readers: VoiceOver (iOS and macOS), TalkBack (Android), NVDA (Windows)
Keyboard-only navigation (no mouse required)
Browser zoom up to 200% without loss of content or functionality
High contrast mode and forced colour settings
Reduced motion settings at the operating system level

Pages use semantic HTML landmarks, ARIA attributes where necessary, skip navigation links, and visible focus indicators. All images have text alternatives. All form controls are labelled. No content flashes more than three times per second.

Known limitations

This site has journeys: the scope check, the handoff to our booking calendar, and the contact route. We have not yet tested them end to end with a keyboard and a screen reader, which is the method we use on our clients’ sites. Until we have, we are not in a position to tell you there are no barriers on those journeys.

Because we review the site after significant changes rather than continuously, some issues may exist that we have not yet found: if you encounter something that does not work as expected with your assistive technology, we want to know. Please contact us using the details below.

We do not use overlays, plugins, or third-party tools to retrofit accessibility. Accessibility is built into the code of this site directly.

Scope

This statement covers all pages on usableaccess.io. It does not cover third-party services linked from this site, including our Calendly booking page, which is operated by Calendly LLC and subject to their own accessibility statement.

Disproportionate burden

We are not claiming any disproportionate burden exemption for any part of this site.

We aim to respond to accessibility queries within five working days. If you require content in an alternative format, please let us know and we will do our best to provide it.

Enforcement

If you are not satisfied with our response to an accessibility query, you may contact the relevant national enforcement authority. Enforcement of the European Accessibility Act in Ireland is distributed across several authorities by sector; for a service such as this website, the primary market-surveillance authority is the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC). In the European Union more broadly, enforcement is handled by the relevant national authority in the member state where you are located.
