Accessibility Statement

Our target

We build and maintain this website to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. That's the standard we'd hold a client's workplace materials to, so it's the one we hold ourselves to.

What we've done

• Every interactive element is reachable by keyboard, with a visible focus outline.
• A "Skip to content" link is the first thing a keyboard or screen reader user hits.
• Body text meets a 4.5:1 contrast ratio; large text meets 3:1.
• Headings run in order, one H1 per page, no skipped levels.
• Every image has alt text, and decorative shapes are hidden from screen readers.
• Form fields have real labels, and errors are announced, not just coloured red.
• Tap targets are at least 44 by 44 pixels.
• Motion is reduced when your device asks for reduced motion.
• The readiness check and booking form both work without a page reload or a mouse.

What still needs work

Being honest about the gaps is part of the standard. Right now:

• The founder photographs are placeholders and their alt text will be rewritten when the final images are in place.
• We have tested with keyboard navigation and automated tooling. We have not yet completed a full manual audit with screen reader users, which is the only way to catch some issues.
• We have not published plain-language or alternate-format versions of our written pages. We will send one on request.
• Any documents we publish later may not all start out fully tagged and accessible.

Tell us about a barrier

If something on this site blocks you, email info@plainspokenhr.com and tell us what happened and what you were trying to do. We'll reply within two business days, give you the information in a format that works, and fix the underlying problem.

If you'd rather not write, ask for a phone call in your email and we'll arrange one.
