We want everyone to be able to use this website: to check our opening times, find the studio and get in touch, on any device.
Our standard
We aim for this website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
What we’ve done
- Text has strong colour contrast, and colour is never the only way we show something, such as whether we’re open now.
- You can use every link, button, menu and accordion with a keyboard, and a clear outline shows where you are.
- Buttons and links are at least 44 by 44 pixels, apart from links inside sentences.
- Pages fit a screen 320 pixels wide (the same as zooming in to 400%) without scrolling sideways.
- Photos have text descriptions. Decorative drawings are hidden from screen readers.
- Animation stops if you’ve asked your device to reduce motion.
- Pages work without JavaScript: booking links are ordinary phone, text and email links.
- Our live “open now” status is always written in words, not shown by colour alone.
How we test
Each page is checked with the axe-core automated accessibility tests against WCAG 2.2 A and AA, at 320, 390, 768 and 1440 pixels wide. The same checks look for sideways scrolling, buttons and links smaller than 44 pixels, images without descriptions and headings out of order. We also test the “Book a table” panel and the menu with a keyboard: focus moves into them, stays there while they’re open and goes back when they close.
Automated tests can’t find every problem, and this website hasn’t yet had an independent accessibility audit. It was last checked on .
Known limitations
- Gift cards and workshop bookings are sold through our online shop at www.thepaintpottle.co.uk, which runs on Wix. Those pages aren’t part of this website, and this statement doesn’t cover them.
- Some older journal posts link to printable activity sheets (PDFs), such as colouring pages and wordsearches. They were made for printing, so they may not work well with a screen reader. One of them, the 2023 Easter eye spy sheet, has no tags at all. If you need one in another format, please ask.
