// What we're aiming for
We're a small, independent studio. This site is built with the aim of meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. We won't pretend it already does, everywhere — see "Known limitations" below.
// What we've done
- Semantic HTML and a clear heading order on each page.
- Visible keyboard focus styles on every interactive element.
- A "skip to main content" link as the first focusable element.
- Site-wide respect for the OS-level
prefers-reduced-motionpreference: animations are reduced or removed when you've asked your system not to animate. - Alt text on meaningful images; decorative images are marked
aria-hidden. - Logical tab order and labelled form fields.
// Known limitations
Things we know aren't perfect yet:
- The hero section runs a looping background video. It auto-plays muted with
aria-hidden, but there's no manual pause control. - Some decorative effects (scanlines, neon glow, glitch overlays) rely on subtle colour changes that may be harder to perceive in certain lighting or for users with low vision. They're decorative — no information is conveyed by them alone.
- We haven't yet had a third-party WCAG audit. Manual review and assistive-technology testing have been done in-house.
// Tell us if something's wrong
If you've hit an accessibility barrier on this site, we want to hear about it — it's the only way we'll know to fix it.
Email: hello@neonwavestudios.co.uk. We'll acknowledge within 5 working days and tell you what we plan to do.
