Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 2026-05-01

Alpha DRTV is committed to making alphadr.tv usable by as many people as possible, including users with disabilities. This statement describes the level of accessibility we aim for, where we currently stand, and how to tell us when something is broken for you.

1. Standard we follow

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2, Level AA, published by the W3C.

2. What we’ve done

The site has been designed and built with accessibility in mind. Specifically:

  • Semantic HTML5 — single <main>, one <h1> per page, sectioning landmarks (<nav>, <header>, <footer>) and proper heading hierarchy
  • Skip-to-content link at the top of each page for keyboard users
  • Visible focus indicator (3 px accent outline) on all interactive elements via :focus-visible
  • Colour contrast — body text ≥4.5:1, large text ≥3:1, UI components ≥3:1; key ratios are documented in our build (ROADMAP.md)
  • Reduced-motion support — counter and typewriter animations are disabled when prefers-reduced-motion: reduce is set
  • Form labels — every input is paired with a visible <label> via for/id, with autocomplete and inputmode attributes
  • ARIA where it adds meaning — section landmarks via aria-labelledby, marquee duplicates marked aria-hidden, dynamic regions use aria-live only where appropriate
  • Keyboard navigation — all interactive elements (buttons, links, form fields, service cards, video controls, cookie banner) reachable and operable by keyboard
  • Screen-reader friendly cookie banner — role="dialog" + aria-modal="false" so it doesn't trap focus; auto-focus on first action when shown
  • Native HTML5 video — <video controls> provides built-in keyboard and screen-reader support
  • Square cursor in typewriter is decorative (aria-hidden="true") — no nuisance announcement
  • Text content — does not rely on colour alone to convey meaning; underlined links, labelled buttons, contrasting backgrounds
  • Resize and reflow — content reflows cleanly down to 320 px width without horizontal scroll; text scales up to 200% without breakage

3. Known limitations

We're aware of the following areas where we do not yet fully meet WCAG 2.2 AA. We're working to improve them:

  • Mobile menu overlay — the mobile-menu toggle opens a list, but does not yet trap focus or close on outside-click. Use the Tab key to navigate, Esc to dismiss (browser-native).
  • Showreel transcript — the Alpha DRTV creative reel currently has no synchronised captions or text transcript. Captions are planned for the next content update.
  • Third-party logos — supplied as raster images in some cases; we are migrating to SVG with proper <title> and <desc> for screen readers.

4. Compatibility

The site is tested on the latest versions of:

  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge (desktop)
  • Safari iOS, Chrome Android (mobile)
  • VoiceOver (macOS and iOS)
  • NVDA (Windows)
  • TalkBack (Android)

It does not require JavaScript to read content — animations and the typewriter effect are progressive enhancements, not required for understanding.

5. How to report a problem

If something on the site doesn't work for you, please email hello@alphadrtv.com with:

  • the page URL where the problem occurred
  • the assistive technology and browser you were using (if applicable)
  • a short description of what failed

We aim to respond within 5 working days with a fix or a workaround.

6. Enforcement

This statement is voluntary. If you're not satisfied with how we handle a report, you can also contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) at equalityadvisoryservice.com.

7. Changes

This statement is reviewed at least once a year. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent review.
