behindscapeAccessibility
Everything here works without a mouse.
Our customers read this site standing up, on a phone, in a banquet corridor, often one-handed and tired. Making it work for people with a disability makes it work better for them too. This page says what we have done, what we have not, and how to tell us when we get it wrong.

What we aim for
We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 at Level AA. We have not been independently audited, so we will not claim to be fully conformant. What follows is an honest account, not a badge.
Using the keyboard
Every link, button and form field can be reached and operated with the keyboard alone, in an order that follows the page.
| Key | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tab | Move to the next link, button or field |
| Shift + Tab | Move back to the previous one |
| Enter | Follow a link, or submit the form you are in |
| Space | Press a button; scroll the page when nothing is focused |
| Escape | Close the menu on a phone or tablet |
| Arrow keys | Scroll, and move within a text box |
Skip to the page. The first thing Tab reaches on every page is a link that jumps past the navigation straight to the content, so you do not tab through the same menu on every page.
You can always see where you are. Whatever has keyboard focus gets a bright amber outline with a gap around it, so it stays visible against the dark background. We never remove that outline.
Nothing traps you. There are no modal dialogues. The cookie banner is an ordinary region you can tab into, answer, or tab straight past and ignore.
Motion
The page has animated parts: a scrolling strip under the hero, product screens that advance as you scroll, and figures that draw themselves in a chart. If your system is set to reduce motion, all of it stops and every screen is shown in its finished state instead. Nothing on this site flashes, strobes or moves faster than three times a second.
Reading it
- Body text sits above the 4.5 to 1 contrast ratio against its background, and large headings above 3 to 1.
- Text is set in relative units, so browser zoom and a larger default font size both work. Nothing is clipped at 200 percent zoom.
- Colour is never the only signal. A confirmed vendor says "confirmed" as well as turning blue; an issue says "vendor late" as well as turning red.
- Pages use real headings in order, so you can jump between them with a screen reader rather than reading top to bottom.
- Decorative graphics, including the rail down the left and the animated screens, are hidden from screen readers so they do not read out as noise. The meaning they carry is in the text beside them.
What we know is not good enough yet
Being straight about the gaps:
- The product screens tell their story through movement. The text beside each one explains the same thing, but someone who cannot see the animation gets the summary rather than the detail.
- The seven-function chart on the Built for India page scrolls sideways on a narrow screen. It is reachable by keyboard, but a table would be easier to read with a screen reader and we have not built one yet.
- We have tested with keyboard and with browser zoom. We have not yet done a full pass with NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver.
- No independent audit has been done.
Tell us when something does not work
Email [email protected] with the page and what went wrong, and what you were using if you know it. We treat these as bugs, not feedback: we reply within two working days and tell you when it is fixed.
If something here is blocking you from joining the early access list, say so and we will simply add you by hand. See the contact page.
