Accessibility

We target WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Accessibility is treated as part of the build rather than an audit at the end — the same position we take on security and observability.

What is in place

• Semantic HTML with a single h1 per page and a logical heading order.
• Landmark regions, labelled navigation, and a skip-to-content link as the first focusable element.
• Visible focus indicators on every interactive element, never suppressed.
• Full keyboard operability, including the mobile navigation, which closes on Esc.
• Body and interface text meeting AA contrast against the dark background.
• Decorative graphics — the star field, grids, glyphs and rules — hidden from assistive technology.
• All motion respects prefers-reduced-motion. With it enabled, the star field renders as a still image, scroll-driven reveals are disabled and transitions are reduced to near zero.
• Text resizes and reflows to 200% without loss of content, and the layout supports 320px viewports.
• Form fields have persistent visible labels, programmatic associations and native validation.
• No content flashes, auto-plays, or moves in a way that cannot be avoided.

Known limitations

• Some monospace annotation labels are set at small sizes for an instrument-panel effect. They are supporting detail — never the only way information is conveyed — and remain above the AA contrast threshold. If you find any that are hard to read, tell us and we will raise the size.
• The site is dark-only by design. A light theme is under consideration; in the meantime the contrast ratios are tuned for extended reading rather than maximum saturation.
• Testing to date covers Safari, Chrome and Firefox with VoiceOver on macOS and iOS. We have not yet completed a full audit with NVDA or JAWS on Windows.

Tell us when it fails

If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, email [email protected] with the subject line ACCESSIBILITY. Describe the page and what happened, including your assistive technology and browser if you know them. We will acknowledge within two working days and tell you what we intend to do.

If something is blocking you from reaching us, we will supply the information you need in another format on request.

In client work

The same standard applies to interfaces we build for clients, including operator-facing industrial UIs — where accessibility overlaps heavily with usability under pressure: legibility at distance, glove-friendly targets, colour never used as the sole signal, and screens that remain readable in poor lighting or through safety eyewear.
