Last updated: 2 June 2025

Our commitment

Scale IT UK is committed to making this website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standard.

Accessibility is a core part of how we build every client website — and we hold ourselves to the same standard.

Focus indicators on animated elements
Motion/animation respect for prefers-reduced-motion
Colour contrast on some muted text elements

Features in place

Semantic HTML5 structure with proper heading hierarchy

ARIA labels on interactive elements (buttons, forms, navigation)

Skip-to-content link available via keyboard

All images include descriptive alt text where appropriate

Form inputs have associated labels

Keyboard-navigable navigation menu

Sufficient colour contrast for primary text (4.5:1 minimum)
