Accessibility statement

Our website

Research Bees is committed to providing and maintaining an accessible website for all those who wish to visit it. This page summarises our accessibility and our plans to improve it.

​

Our current measures to support accessibility

We want as many people as possible to be able to use our website. On most pages of our website, you should be able to:

• zoom in up to 500% without the text extending past the viewport

• navigate just using a keyboard

• navigate using speech recognition software

• listen to content using a screen reader

 

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Research Bees is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AAA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

​

Feedback

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our website. Please let us know if you encounter any accessibility barriers to hello@researchbees.co.uk

​

How we test our website

We use a combination of methods to check the accessibility of our site:

• Automated testing: we use WAVE and Lighthouse, plugins which scan our pages for accessibility errors and highlights the elements to fix.

• Manual testing: our User Experience designer has an accessibility checklist to manually audit areas of our website.

​

What we’re doing to improve accessibility​

​We are ensuring that our development processes include accessibility considerations and testing as standard.
