Accessibility Statement

Our target

We are working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA.

We do not claim that this site fully conforms to that standard. Conformance is a statement of fact that has to be tested independently, and that testing has not been carried out. When it is, this page will state the result honestly, including any success criteria that are only partially met.

Measures taken during this build

Accessibility was part of how the site was built rather than a pass at the end. Specifically:

• Semantic HTML landmarks on every page — one header, one main, one footer, and sections labeled by their own headings.
• One h1 per page and a heading order that does not skip levels, so the document outline is navigable by screen reader.
• A skip-to-content link as the first focusable element on every page.
• Full keyboard operation: the navigation dropdown opens on focus and responds to arrow keys and Escape, the mobile menu and the gallery lightbox trap focus and close on Escape, and focus returns to where it came from.
• Visible focus indication throughout, using a gold outline offset from the element. Focus styling is never removed.
• Form labels tied to their inputs, error messages tied to inputs with aria-describedby, a polite live region announcing submission status, focus moved to the first field in error, and focus moved to the confirmation when a submission succeeds.
• Text color contrast checked against the palette: body text on the cream background is well above the 4.5:1 minimum, and the lighter gold is restricted to rules, ornament and large type rather than body copy.
• Motion honors prefers-reduced-motion — scroll, hover and menu animation collapse to no perceptible movement when the operating system asks for it.
• Images carry alt text, decorative images are hidden from assistive technology, and every image frame reserves its aspect ratio so content does not shift while loading.
• Interactive targets are at least 44 by 44 pixels on touch devices.

Known limitations

We would rather list these than let you discover them.

• The site has not been through an independent audit or been tested end to end with JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver.
• Image alt text is written as each image is supplied, and is reviewed again whenever an image is replaced.
• The Contact page includes a third-party map embed. Map embeds have accessibility limitations we do not control, so the service area is also given as text on the same page.

How this site was assessed

Assessment to date has been carried out by the team that built the site, using keyboard-only navigation, automated checks, and inspection of the markup and contrast values.

Date of last assessment: September 11, 2026. Method: self-evaluation. An independent evaluation is planned and this page will be updated with its date, scope and findings.

We aim to acknowledge accessibility feedback within two business days and to tell you at that point what we can fix and when. If a fix will take longer, we will offer another way to get you the information or to make the inquiry you were trying to make.

Standards referenced

This statement refers to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium. Where United States federal or Texas state accessibility requirements apply to this business, they are additional to and not replaced by that standard.
