Accessibility on a therapy website

Can someone read the fee, use the menu and send a message without a struggle?

Use readable type, a menu that works on a phone, form labels that are visible, and motion that can be reduced. These are ordinary build requirements. They are not a formal accessibility audit certificate.

Fixes that belong in the build

Colour contrast on the text and the buttons is part of the same pass. A pale word on a pale photograph fails even when the desktop mock looks calm.

  • Body text stays large enough to read without zooming as the only option
  • Links and buttons say where they go, not “click here”
  • The menu can be used with a keyboard, and it traps focus while it is open on a phone
  • Form fields have visible labels, and errors are written next to the field
  • Animations respect a request for reduced motion
  • Photographs have a text alternative that describes the scene, not a keyword

What this is not

Meeting these points makes the marketing site more usable. It is not a published WCAG conformance claim, and it does not cover a separate booking product you embed. If you need a formal audit, that is a different appointment.
