In short
We design and build to WCAG 2.2 AA. If anything on this site is hard to use, tell us and we'll fix it or give you the information another way.
Our target
Epiidosis Africa Limited wants everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification or voice control.
Our target is WCAG 2.2 level AA. We treat it as the minimum for new pages and changes.
What we have built in
Keyboard navigation
Every link, button and form field works with a keyboard. A skip link jumps to the main content, focus is clearly visible, the menu closes with Escape, and tabs move with the arrow keys.
Reduced motion
If your device asks for reduced motion, we switch off animations, drawing effects and scrolling text.
Contrast and text
Text is set to meet AA contrast. You can enlarge it with browser zoom, and layouts reflow on small screens without sideways scrolling.
Alt text
Photographs have text alternatives. Diagrams carry a title and a written description. Decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers.
Clear structure
Each page has one main heading, headings in order, and landmarks for the header, navigation, main content and footer.
Forms
Every form field has a visible label. Errors in the readiness pre-assessment are announced and move focus to the field to fix.
Known limitations
We know of these gaps and are working on them.
- Scrolling text bands pause when you hover over them or move keyboard focus into them, and stop when reduced motion is on. They don't yet have a separate pause button.
- Detailed diagrams have written descriptions that summarise them. The full detail is also given in the page text.
- Third-party services, such as Google Maps, open on other websites and follow their own accessibility standards.
- Documents we send, such as PDFs, may not all meet the same standard yet. Ask, and we'll provide an accessible format.
How we check
We check pages with a keyboard only, with reduced motion switched on, at phone and desktop widths, and with automated checks. We review this statement when we make significant changes to the site.
