Accessibility
Luxury should not mean inaccessible.
What has been built into this site, what has been measured, and what has not been checked yet.
The standard we build to
We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA. That is the bar the design system was built against rather than a badge applied afterwards.
What is in place
- Colour contrast is measured, not estimated. Every text and background pair in the palette was calculated before it was used. The brand gold is bright enough to fail on a light background, so the design system carries two separate gold tokens and the one that fails is restricted to dark backgrounds only.
- Keyboard navigation throughout. Every control is reachable and operable by keyboard, focus is always visible, and a skip link is the first item in the tab order on every page.
- Real form semantics. Every field has a bound label rather than a placeholder standing in for one, errors are announced and tied to the field they belong to, and choices are real radio groups so arrow keys work as expected.
- Text alternatives. Images carry descriptions naming the surface shown; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology rather than described pointlessly.
- Reduced motion is respected. Every transition on the site is decorative, so all of them are disabled when your system asks for reduced motion.
- Zoom and reflow. Text scales and the layout reflows without horizontal scrolling, down to a 390 px viewport.
What has not been checked
No independent accessibility audit has been carried out, and the site has not been tested with every screen reader and browser combination. We are not going to claim conformance we have not verified.
