Accessibility statement
I want this site to work for as many people as possible, including people with impaired sight or hearing, and people with motor or cognitive difficulties.

Contents
Standard and status
The aim is for the site to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 (opens in a new tab) at level AA.
The site is partially conformant: most of the content meets the requirements, and the exceptions are listed under “Known limitations”.
What has been done
- Structure. Headings are in the right order, pages have landmarks (header, navigation, main content, footer), and every page starts with a “Skip to content” link.
- Keyboard. Everything works with the keyboard alone and focus is always visible. On phones, the menu closes with Esc and returns focus to its button.
- Screen readers. Buttons and links have clear names, the current page is marked, the number of filter results is announced, and links that open a new tab say so.
- Text and colour. Text contrast is at least 4.5:1. There is a light and a dark theme (following your system setting or your own choice). At 400% zoom the content reflows without horizontal scrolling.
- Motion. With “Reduce motion” turned on, animations and smooth scrolling stop. Videos never start on their own and load only when you play them.
- Touch. Buttons and links are large enough and spaced apart.
- Language. Every page declares its language. The English version is separate, with addresses under
/en/. - Articles. Tables are named and scroll on their own, and images have text descriptions.
- Booking. The calendar loads only after you choose a format, and an email address and phone number are always shown next to it.
- The game has a pause (P or Esc), keyboard controls and a “Skip the game” link.
Known limitations
- The booking calendar runs on Cal.com, and its accessibility depends on that provider. If it gets in your way, write or call me and we will book a time together.
- The videos are on YouTube and may not have hand-made captions. Each video comes with a written answer and a link to an article on the topic.
- The game uses real-time graphics and cannot be played with a screen reader.
- Photos of tax forms in some articles and the attached PDF document may not be fully accessible. If you need them in another format, write to me.
- The LoopForge synthesizer is a separate application and is not covered by this statement.
How it was checked
By self-assessment. With every change the site goes through automated checks: axe-core on every page, in the light and dark themes, on desktop and on phone; Lighthouse; HTML validation. Keyboard-only use, text zoom, both themes and high-contrast mode were checked by hand.
This statement is reviewed with every major change to the site.
