About this site

Accessibility Statement

I want everyone to be able to use this website, including people who use screen readers, keyboards, voice control or magnification, and people with visual, hearing, motor or cognitive disabilities. This statement explains how accessible johncorner.co.uk is, what I have checked and what still needs work.

How accessible this website is

I aim for this website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. I have not had it independently audited, so I cannot say it fully meets the standard.

What I have checked

On 13 November 2026 I tested the home page and nine other key pages with the axe-core automated testing tool. Those pages were the Middlesbrough and web designer service pages, the contact page, portfolio, client reviews, a project page, a blog post, the cost guide and the blog index. I also checked the following by hand on the home page:

  • The page language is set to English (UK).
  • There is one main heading on the page.
  • Every image has alternative text.
  • The page can be zoomed and works on a phone.
  • There is a skip link for keyboard users.

Automated tools can only find some accessibility problems, so there may be others I have not found.

Known issues

The automated checks found no remaining problems on the pages I tested. These are the limits I know about:

  • Cookie banner. The banner comes from a cookie plugin. I have made its text area reachable by keyboard and enlarged its close button, but I have not tested it with a screen reader.
  • Colour contrast. Automated tools cannot reliably check text over images and dark backgrounds, so I have not verified contrast in those areas.
  • Other pages. I have not tested every page and project on the site.

I fixed the home page services panels (they now use proper buttons) and the main content landmark on 13 November 2026.

Tell me about a problem

If you find something on this site that is hard to use, or you need information in a different format, please get in touch and I will do my best to help.

If you are not happy with my reply

You can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) if you feel your accessibility concern has not been dealt with properly.

Test record

  • Tool: axe-core 4.10.0 (automated WCAG 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 A and AA checks plus best practice rules)
  • Date tested: 13 November 2026
  • Result: no violations on the home page at desktop and phone width, after fixes
  • Second tool: Google Lighthouse 13.5.0 (desktop), also on 13 November 2026, gave an accessibility score of 100
  • Not covered: colour contrast over dark backgrounds, screen reader testing and independent audit

This is my own test record, not a certification. I will retest after major changes to the site.
