Accessibility statement

Roughly one person in five has an impairment that affects how they use a website, and many more are temporarily affected by bright sunlight, an injury or simple tiredness. Designing for that range is not a favour, it is what a finished website looks like.

Last reviewed September 2026.

What we aim for

We build towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines at level AA, which is the standard most organisations and public bodies reference. We treat those guidelines as a floor rather than a ceiling, because passing an automated check and being genuinely usable are different achievements.

What is in place on this website

  • Colour combinations chosen to meet contrast requirements in both the light and dark appearance
  • A logical heading structure on every page so screen reader users can navigate by section
  • A skip link at the top of each page for people using a keyboard
  • Visible focus indicators so keyboard users can always see where they are
  • Form fields with proper labels and error messages connected to the field concerned
  • Text that can be enlarged substantially without the layout breaking
  • Descriptive link text rather than repeated instructions to click here
  • Meaningful alternative text on images, and decorative graphics hidden from assistive technology
  • Respect for the reduced motion preference, so animation stops for people who ask for that
  • An appearance switch for anyone who finds one scheme easier to read than the other
  • Layouts that work at small sizes without horizontal scrolling

Known limitations

We would rather be honest than claim perfection. Accessibility is continuous work and a site of this size will contain imperfections we have not yet found. Some third party components we rely on for typefaces and layout are outside our direct control, and where their behaviour causes a problem we work around it rather than accepting it.

If you encounter something on this site that is difficult or impossible to use, please tell us. Reports from real people using real assistive technology are more valuable than any automated checking tool, and we act on them.

Accessibility in the work we deliver

The same standards apply to the software we build for clients, and they are included in the price rather than offered as an upgrade. That covers contrast, keyboard operation, screen reader structure, labelled forms, generous tap targets and never carrying meaning by colour alone.

Where a client operates in a sector with specific legal accessibility obligations, those requirements are gathered during the specification stage and built into the design from the beginning. Retrofitting accessibility into a finished system is considerably more expensive than building it in, which is an argument we are happy to make to any client who queries it.

Telling us about a problem

Write to info@fedri.com describing the page and what happened, including the browser or assistive technology you were using if you know it. We will acknowledge the report, tell you what we find and say plainly when it is fixed. If you need information from this site in a different format in the meantime, ask and we will provide it.

Found an accessibility barrier?

Tell us and we will fix it. Reports from people actually using assistive technology are the most useful feedback we receive.
