Accessibility

Last updated August 2026

We want everyone to be able to use this site, regardless of ability or the technology they use. This statement explains where we're at and how to tell us if something isn't working for you.

Slash Horizons is committed to making our website accessible and usable for as many people as possible, including people who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, or browser zoom.

The standard we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA. Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we treat it as part of building the site rather than an afterthought.

What we've done

Semantic HTML structure with a logical heading order, and a <main> landmark on every page.
A “skip to content” link on every page, and full keyboard operability.
Clear, visible keyboard focus states, and interactive controls that announce their state (pressed, expanded, current page, invalid).
Respect for the prefers-reduced-motion setting — animations and drifting gradients are disabled when you've asked your device to reduce motion, and content that would otherwise animate into view is shown straight away rather than hidden.
Nothing on the page advances or auto-plays by itself apart from slow background gradients, which carry no information and stop entirely under reduced-motion settings.
Content that animates in is only ever hidden by a rule that removes itself if anything goes wrong, so a failed script or a blocked animation leaves the page readable rather than blank.
A form with real labels, required fields marked in words as well as colour, error messages tied to their field, and an error summary that takes focus and links to each problem rather than only being displayed.
Responsive layouts that work from small phones to large screens, and support browser zoom and larger text.
Text colours checked against their background at WCAG AA (4.5:1). Where our brand blue did not reach that on white, we use a slightly deeper shade for text and keep the original for shapes and borders.
Meaningful text alternatives for images, with decorative graphics hidden from assistive tech.

Known limitations

We're early-stage and still improving, and we want to be specific rather than reassuring:

We haven't yet had a formal third-party audit, so this reflects our own testing.
Some decorative motion and gradient effects are cosmetic only, and are removed under reduced-motion settings.
The example-plan switcher uses pressed-button semantics rather than a full tab pattern. It is operable by keyboard and announces its state, but the pattern isn't the ideal one and we intend to improve it.
The six-stage diagram is drawn as a chart on wide screens and repeated as a plain vertical list on narrow ones. The chart itself is hidden from assistive technology, so its content reaches you through the stage names and descriptions beside it rather than through the graphic.
We have not tested with every screen reader and browser combination.

If you hit a barrier we haven't caught, we'd genuinely like to know.
