Accessibility Statement

At Cariad Creative, I am committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience for all users. I believe accessibility is essential to delivering a high-quality website design service that enables businesses to grow through strategic online marketing.

My commitment to accessibility

As a web designer, I prioritize accessibility-first principles in all my projects. This means:

• Designing websites that consider how they are accessed on both desktop and mobile devices.
• Advising clients on fonts, colors, and layout features to ensure accessibility for most users without compromising aesthetics.
• Continuously seeking ways to enhance accessibility in both my designs and the services I provide.

Accessibility features of my website

To ensure my own website is accessible:

• High-contrast design is set as standard but can be adjusted using tools if needed.
• The site supports keyboard navigation, making it accessible to users who rely on this functionality.
• I run regular accessibility checks to maintain and improve the user experience.

I aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and strive to meet the standards set by the UK Equality Act 2010.

Accessibility in my services

I guide and advise clients on creating accessible websites, helping them select features and design elements that promote inclusivity. I am always open to feedback and suggestions for improving the accessibility of my services.

Ongoing commitment

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and I am actively working to improve. This includes:

• Conducting regular audits and staying up-to-date with accessibility research.
• Exploring tools to further enhance the accessibility of my website.
• Reviewing and updating this statement every 6 to 12 months to reflect improvements.

Why accessibility matters

As the parent of a visually impaired daughter, I understand the importance of creating accessible online spaces. This personal experience motivates me to make websites that work for everyone, ensuring that no one is excluded from accessing the information or services they need.

Future plans

While I do not currently offer training or resources on accessibility, I will be publishing blogs to guide and support my clients in making their websites more inclusive.
