Accessibility Statement.

Our commitment

We aim for WCAG 2.2 AA conformance across every page of thetaxlead.ae. Accessibility is baked into our design system and build process — not retrofitted after the fact. We regularly test with keyboard navigation, screen readers (VoiceOver on macOS/iOS, NVDA on Windows), and high-contrast modes.

What we’ve built in

• Semantic HTML — proper headings, landmarks (nav, main, section, aside, footer), lists where lists are called for, buttons that are actually buttons.
• Keyboard-navigable — every interactive element reachable via Tab, with visible focus outlines (amber, 2px, 3px offset).
• Skip link — every page starts with a "Skip to content" link so screen readers don’t re-announce nav on each page.
• Alt text — descriptive alt text on all meaningful images; empty alt on decorative images so screen readers skip them.
• Colour contrast — body text 4.5:1 minimum against background; large text 3:1 minimum.
• Scalable text — relative font sizing (rem/em) so text scales 200%+ without layout breakage.
• Reduced-motion respect — CSS prefers-reduced-motion media query honoured; animations shortened to near-zero where set.
• Form labels — every form input has an associated label (visible or sr-only); required fields marked properly.
• ARIA roles — used sparingly; semantic HTML preferred.

Known gaps

In the interests of honesty:

• Our Pagefind client-side search widget relies on JavaScript for keyword matching; a non-JS fallback is in planning.
• Playbook PDFs (coming soon) — we aim for tagged accessible PDFs but historical versions may be image-only. Email us for a plain-text equivalent of any specific playbook.
• Third-party embeds (Google Maps on contact page, scheduling tool on Discovery Call page) have their own accessibility shape — limitations noted in context.

Assistive technology we test with

• Screen readers: VoiceOver (macOS 14+, iOS 17+), NVDA (Windows), TalkBack (Android).
• Browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, latest versions.
• Zoom: 200%, 300%, 400% browser zoom; macOS Zoom; Windows Magnifier.
• Keyboard-only: Full-site keyboard navigation test on every major page.
