Our commitment
We are committed to making this website accessible to as many people as possible, in line with the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (which we follow as best practice even though we are a private publisher). We are working towards conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 at AA level.
What we do well
- Pages are structured with semantic headings, landmarks and lists so assistive technology can navigate them.
- Body copy uses readable type, generous line-height and a colour palette tested for contrast against WCAG 2.1 AA thresholds.
- All informative images carry descriptive alternative text; decorative imagery is marked accordingly.
- Navigation, search and forms are keyboard-operable. A skip-to-main-content link is provided.
- The site is responsive and can be zoomed to 200% without loss of content or function.
- We avoid auto-playing media. Video content is hosted on third-party platforms (YouTube) that support captions.
Known limitations
We are an independent UK publisher with a small editorial team. There are areas where we know we fall short and are working to improve them:
- Some legacy articles imported from earlier site iterations may have images without descriptive alt text. We add alt text on a rolling basis as we re-edit older pieces.
- Some embedded third-party widgets (price comparison, affiliate retailer links) inherit their own accessibility characteristics, which we cannot fully control. We choose partners with the best accessibility track record available to us.
- Complex tables (specifications, comparison grids, price tables) are designed to be screen-reader-friendly, but a small number of older comparison tables predate that work. Please contact us if you hit one that is hard to use.
Feedback and contact
If you find any part of this site difficult to use, please tell us. We treat accessibility feedback as a priority. You can reach the editorial team by email at [email protected] (or the equivalent address for the publication you are reading). We aim to respond within five working days.
Enforcement
If you contact us with a complaint and are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) for England, Scotland and Wales, or the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland (ECNI). We will engage constructively with any complaint and use it to improve the site.
Technical information
This site uses semantic HTML5, ARIA where appropriate, and responsive CSS. We test with axe DevTools, Lighthouse accessibility audits, and manual keyboard-only navigation. We monitor Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed scores as part of our ongoing engineering work.
