Accessibility Statement

Last updated: May 12, 2026

Our commitment

Swire Studio is committed to making swirestudio.com usable for as wide an audience as possible, including people who rely on assistive technologies. Accessibility is treated as a baseline expectation in every project I build, not a feature added at the end.

Standards we follow

This site targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA as its conformance goal. In practice that means I aim for:

• Semantic HTML and proper landmarks (header, main, nav, footer)
• Logical heading hierarchy and a skip-to-content link
• Keyboard operability for all interactive elements
• Visible focus indicators
• Sufficient color contrast in both light and dark modes
• Descriptive alt text on meaningful images and aria-hidden on decorative ones
• Respect for the user's prefers-reduced-motion and prefers-color-scheme settings

Known limitations

The following areas are known to need further review or improvement. This list will be updated as a formal audit is completed:

• Some third-party embeds (such as the booking calendar) inherit their accessibility characteristics from the provider and may not fully match the rest of the site.
• A full manual screen-reader pass and automated audit (axe / Lighthouse) is scheduled but not yet complete — specific findings will be added to this list once available.

If you run into something not listed here, please let me know using the contact details below.

Reporting an accessibility issue

If you encounter a barrier on this site, or have a suggestion for how to make it work better for you, email tristanswire@gmail.com. Please include the page URL, what you were trying to do, the assistive technology and browser you're using (if applicable), and what went wrong. I aim to respond within five business days.

Date of last review

This statement was last reviewed on May 12, 2026.

This is a baseline statement intended as a starting point. The "Known limitations" section should be replaced with real findings after a full manual and automated audit. Where a formal conformance claim is required, consider an independent audit and a generator-produced statement.
