Accessibility Statement

What has been done

This site was built with the following practices:

• Semantic HTML with a logical heading order on every page
• Full keyboard navigation, including the mobile menu, with visible focus indicators
• A skip-to-content link at the top of every page
• Colour contrast checked against WCAG 2.1 AA for text and interface elements
• Form fields with persistent visible labels, not placeholder-only labels
• Form errors linked to their fields, announced to screen readers, and never signalled by colour alone
• Descriptive link and button text rather than "click here"
• Alt text on meaningful images; decorative graphics hidden from assistive technology
• Support for prefers-reduced-motion, which disables autoplaying video and animation
• Large touch targets on mobile
• Background video used decoratively only, never as the sole way information is conveyed

Target standard

The target is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. Accessibility is treated as ongoing work rather than a one-time check, and no claim of perfect conformance is made.

Known limitations

Third-party components embedded in the site, such as the Cloudflare Turnstile spam-protection widget, are outside direct control. Where a limitation is identified, an alternative route is provided — in that case, contacting Rouse Innovation directly by email.

Reporting a problem

If you encounter a barrier on this website, please send a note to craigrouse@rouseinnovation.com describing the page and what happened. Reports are taken seriously and reviewed promptly. If a page is unusable for you, describing what you needed will also get you that information directly.
