Accessibility

Our commitment

RIOT Studio is committed to making riotcolchester.com — and every website we build for clients — usable by the widest possible audience. We target WCAG 2.2 Level AA as our minimum bar.

What we do

• Semantic HTML and proper heading hierarchy on every page
• Keyboard navigation for all interactive elements (skip-to-content links included)
• Colour contrast of 4.5:1 or higher for body text, 3:1 for large text
• Alt text on every meaningful image
• Visible focus states that meet WCAG 2.2 focus-appearance criteria
• Form labels properly associated with inputs and clear error messaging
• Respect for prefers-reduced-motion — animations disabled when requested
• ARIA only where semantic HTML cannot do the job

Known limitations

We're honest about the work in progress. Current known issues we're fixing:

• Some legacy video content lacks captions — being addressed by Q3 2026
• Third-party embeds (Instagram, Stripe checkout) we cannot fully control — we route around them where possible

How we test

We run Lighthouse, axe-core and manual keyboard + screen reader audits (NVDA on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS / iOS) on every project before launch and quarterly on this site.

Found a barrier?
