Accessibility Statement

Last updated 14 May 2026 · Version 2.0

Accessibility is part of the brief on every project we ship. This statement explains the standards we hold ourselves to, what we have done on this website, and how to reach us if you encounter a barrier.

1. Our commitment

karenlee designs and builds digital products that aim to meet or exceed:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA for web-based interfaces;
• Apple's accessibility programming guides for native iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS applications;
• Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act and the EN 301 549 European standard where applicable;
• The European Accessibility Act for products and services placed on the EU market after 28 June 2025.

2. This website

This website is intentionally minimal. It is built with semantic HTML, progressive enhancement, and standard CSS — no framework, no required JavaScript for content. Specific measures:

• Logical heading hierarchy and landmark regions (header, main, footer);
• Visible focus indicators on all interactive elements;
• Skip-to-content link at the top of every page;
• Colour contrast meets or exceeds 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text;
• Light, dark and system colour themes — the site reads correctly in all three;
• Forms include explicit labels, error messages and ARIA live regions;
• Navigation works with keyboard alone (Tab, Shift-Tab, Enter, Space);
• The site respects the prefers-reduced-motion media query;
• Images include descriptive alt text or are marked decorative;
• Page text reflows down to a 320px viewport without horizontal scrolling.

3. Native applications we build

For Apple platform applications, accessibility is implemented from day one, not retrofitted before launch. We build for:

• VoiceOver — full screen reader support with curated rotor actions;
• Dynamic Type — UI scales from xSmall through AX5;
• Bold Text, Increased Contrast, Differentiate Without Colour, Smart Invert;
• Reduce Motion — non-essential animation disabled when requested;
• Switch Control, AssistiveTouch, Voice Control — full alternative input;
• Closed Captions and audio descriptions for media-heavy apps;
• Hearing aid pairing, mono audio, sound recognition where appropriate;
• watchOS & visionOS — large text, AssistiveTouch on Apple Watch, eye and hand input alternatives on Vision Pro.

4. Known limitations

We aim for full conformance, but no product is ever perfect. Known limitations on this website at the date of this statement:

• None known. Please report anything you find so we can fix it.

6. Assessment approach

We test with a combination of:

• Manual keyboard and screen-reader audits with VoiceOver on macOS and iOS;
• Automated checks via axe-core, Accessibility Inspector, and Xcode accessibility audits;
• Real-device testing with Switch Control, Voice Control, Dynamic Type at AX5, and Reduce Motion enabled;
• Periodic external review by accessibility specialists for client engagements that require formal conformance reports.

7. Enforcement

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may file a complaint with:

• The U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, for ADA-related concerns;
• Your country's data protection or accessibility authority, in the EEA/UK.
