Standards & Recognition

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2, Level AA, is the conformance target for our public website and public customer flows. We check it on every change: an automated accessibility scan runs against the public pages in a real browser, and the parts a scanner cannot decide - keyboard order, focus visibility, the mobile menu, contrast over layered backgrounds - are asserted by hand in that same browser.

This is our own conformance claim, not a third-party certification. Nobody reviews or approves this site on W3C's behalf, and W3C does not certify websites. The Accessibility Statement is the detailed owner: what the claim covers, what it does not, how we test, and how to tell us about a barrier.

Specification published by the World Wide Web Consortium. Conformance claimed and verified by Elysium.

Every public page on this site is checked for conformance to the HTML specification before the change that touched it can be released - as the page is actually served, with the shared header, footer and other assembled parts in place, rather than as it was written. The checker is the Nu Html Checker, the same conformance checker behind the W3C's own validation service. Any message it produces, of any severity, stops the change.

Standards conformance is about the markup, and this claim says nothing more than that: valid HTML is not a promise that a page is accurate, fast, or accessible. Accessibility is the separate claim above.
