What I am aiming for
I want this site to be usable by everybody, including people using a screen reader, a keyboard only, voice control, or a phone in bright sunlight on a building site. I am working to the WCAG 2.2 AA standard as my target.
What is in place
- Text and background colours meet the AA contrast minimum throughout.
- Everything can be reached and operated with a keyboard, and the focus outline is clearly visible.
- Headings are in a proper order so a screen reader can navigate the page structure.
- Images carry text descriptions, and decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers rather than read out as noise.
- Text resizes without the layout breaking, and the page works down to a small phone screen.
- All animation is switched off automatically if your device is set to reduce motion, and no information is conveyed by movement alone.
- No information is conveyed by colour alone.
Where it falls short
Being straight with you rather than claiming more than I can back up:
- This site has not been independently audited. I have tested it myself with a keyboard, a screen reader and automated checking tools, but that is not the same thing.
- Some third-party features, such as an embedded booking calendar or chat widget, are built by other companies and I cannot control their accessibility directly. Where one causes a problem I will look for a better supplier.
- Older documents linked from the site may not all be fully tagged for screen readers.
If something does not work for you
Tell me and I will fix it. Email gareth@clientfair.uk or ring 07447 185798. If you need anything on this site in a different format, such as large print or plain text, ask and I will send it. I aim to reply within 5 working days.

If you are not happy with how I respond, the Equality Advisory and Support Service can help. Details are at equalityadvisoryservice.com.
Sites I build for customers
The same standards apply to the websites I build for clients. Accessibility is part of the template rather than an extra, so every site starts from the same baseline described above.

Prepared on 19 September 2026, based on my own testing of the live site. It will be reviewed whenever the site changes significantly.
