Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to https://www.hilmon.ie.

My Commitment

I am committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. I continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to achieve this. I recognise that the web should be usable by anyone, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. I am proud to state that this website is fully compliant with WCAG 2.2 level AA.

Measures Taken to Ensure Accessibility

To ensure my website is easily accessed by everyone, I have implemented the following features and practices:

  • Semantic Structure: I utilise proper HTML landmarks and semantic markup to ensure screen readers can easily navigate and interpret the content.
  • Scalable Design: The website is built using relative sizing units to ensure text and layouts scale appropriately across all devices and screen sizes without loss of functionality.
  • Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements, menus, and forms are fully accessible via keyboard input.
  • Colour Contrast: I have rigorously tested my colour palettes to ensure all text meets or exceeds the required contrast ratios against its background.
  • Media Alternatives: All images contain descriptive alternative text, and any multimedia content includes appropriate captions or transcripts.
  • Focus States: Clear visible focus indicators are present for all interactive elements to assist users navigating without a mouse.
  • Consistent Navigation: I maintain a predictable layout and navigation structure throughout the site to help users orient themselves easily.

Continuous Optimisation

While I have achieved WCAG 2.2 AA compliance, I view accessibility as an ongoing commitment rather than a single project. I will continue to audit my site regularly and prioritise accessibility in all future updates and additions.

Feedback

I welcome your feedback on the accessibility of my website. If you encounter any barriers while using my site, please let me know so I can address them promptly. I endeavour to respond to all feedback within 24 hours.
