Accessibility

Built to be readable.

presence.co.uk targets WCAG 2.2 Level AAA where practical and Level AA elsewhere. Here is what that means in practice, what you can expect, and how to tell us when we get it wrong.

Standard we’re aiming for

presence.co.uk is built against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2. We aim for Level AAA on text contrast and language clarity, and at least Level AA across the rest of the standard.

What we do

  • Semantic HTML elements (<header>, <nav>, <main>, <article>, <footer>) so screen readers can navigate by landmark.
  • Body and meta text contrast ratios of at least 7:1 against their background, well above WCAG AAA.
  • Visible focus rings on every interactive element. Use Tab to move forward and Shift+Tab to move backward.
  • A “Skip to content” link as the first focusable item on every page.
  • All images that carry meaning have alt text. Decorative images are marked alt="" so screen readers skip them.
  • Layout that scales to any viewport from 320 px upward without horizontal scrolling, and to 200% browser zoom without breaking.
  • System-font fallbacks if Google Fonts fails to load, so the page is always readable.
  • No motion that triggers automatically. Hover and focus states use short, gentle transitions only.

Known limitations

  • The flag emojis in the network section depend on a third-party webfont (Twemoji Country Flags) for proper rendering on Windows. If that font fails to load, two-letter ISO country codes are shown instead, which is informative but not a flag image.
  • Some screenshots in the “Other sites we run” and “Archived” sections have an applied desaturation filter for visual hierarchy. The underlying images, when activated by hover or focus, return to full colour.

If something is broken for you

Please tell us. Email hello@presence.co.uk with the page URL and a short description, and we’ll look at it. We aim to respond within five working days.

How this page is reviewed

We test changes against keyboard navigation, the macOS VoiceOver and Windows Narrator screen readers, and automated checks (axe-core, Lighthouse). The site is reviewed manually whenever new sections are added.
