Accessibility statement
This statement covers usableaccess.io and sets out our current accessibility position, what we know is not yet fully accessible, and how to contact us.
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 aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, which is the standard referenced by EN 301 549 — the harmonised European standard under the European Accessibility Act.
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
We are not currently aware of any significant accessibility barriers on usableaccess.io. 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.
