We want this site to be usable by everyone who needs a trust or estate litigation lawyer, including people who browse with a screen reader, a keyboard, magnification, or a browser tuned for reduced motion or higher contrast.
The standard we build to
We build towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. We are telling you what we aim at and what we have done, rather than claiming conformance: the site has not been independently audited, and we will not say it is fully conformant when we cannot show that.
What we have done
- Every page uses real headings in order, so a screen reader can navigate by structure rather than by guesswork.
- A “Skip to content” link is the first thing the keyboard reaches on every page, and it becomes visible when it is focused.
- The navigation, the mobile menu and the contact form can all be operated by keyboard, and the focused element is always visibly outlined.
- Every text and background pair in the site palette was measured against the WCAG AA contrast thresholds, and the palette was changed where a pair fell short.
- Pages reflow rather than clipping down to a 320 pixel window, so text stays readable at high magnification without scrolling sideways.
- Images that carry meaning have alternative text describing what they show. Images that are purely decorative, such as a photograph sitting behind text, are marked so assistive technology skips them rather than reading them out.
- Animation and movement switch off for anyone whose system asks for reduced motion.
- Link text describes where the link goes, rather than saying “click here” or repeating “read more” down the page.
Known limitations
We would rather list these than pretend they are not there:
- The contact form is provided by third-party software. We style and test it, but we do not control all of the markup it produces.
- Any PDF or document linked from the site in future may not be tagged for accessibility.
- The site has not been independently audited, so the statements above are our own testing rather than a third party’s certification.
Tell us about a problem
If any part of this site stops you getting the information you need, please tell us. We will fix it, and we will get you the information another way in the meantime. Reach us through the contact form, or by post to the office address listed there. Please say which page you were on and what happened. We treat access problems as urgent, not as feedback.
Reaching us another way
If the website is the obstacle, it is not the only route. You are welcome to telephone the office or write to us, and we will take your enquiry that way.
