Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: 19th January 2026
At WeMakeSmall, we believe the web should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to ensuring that our website and the websites we build provide an inclusive experience for all users, including people with disabilities.
We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at the AA level, and we continuously work to improve the accessibility of our digital experiences.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to making our website and services accessible to the widest possible audience. Our ongoing efforts include:
- Using semantic HTML to ensure proper document structure and screen-reader compatibility.
- Providing text alternatives for non-text content such as images and icons.
- Ensuring sufficient colour contrast ratios between text and background elements.
- Making all interactive elements fully keyboard-navigable.
- Providing clear and consistent navigation across all pages.
Standards We Follow
We aim to meet or exceed the following accessibility standards:
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA: The internationally recognised standard for web accessibility published by the W3C.
- Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (Cth): Australian legislation that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, including in the provision of goods and services.
- ARIA Best Practices: We use WAI-ARIA attributes to enhance the experience for assistive technology users where needed.
Accessibility Features
Our website includes the following accessibility features:
- Responsive Design: The website adapts to different screen sizes and devices, including mobile phones and tablets.
- Dark Mode: A system-aware dark mode toggle is provided to reduce eye strain and improve readability in low-light environments.
- Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements (links, buttons, forms) can be accessed using keyboard controls alone.
- Focus Indicators: Visible focus outlines are provided on all interactive elements to assist keyboard-only users.
- Alt Text: Meaningful alternative text descriptions are provided for all informative images.
- Readable Typography: We use a legible, modern typeface (Onest) at appropriate sizes with adequate line spacing for comfortable reading.
Websites We Build
As a web design studio, we take accessibility seriously in every project we deliver. All websites built by WeMakeSmall are developed with the following principles in mind:
- Semantic, well-structured HTML markup.
- WCAG 2.1 AA compliant colour contrast and typography.
- Fully responsive layouts that work across devices and screen sizes.
- Performance-optimised code for fast loading on all connection speeds.
If you require specific accessibility testing or WCAG compliance audits for your project, please let us know during the onboarding process and we'll be happy to accommodate.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, there may be areas of our website that are not yet fully optimised. We are aware of these potential limitations and are actively working to resolve them:
- Some older embedded content or third-party integrations may not meet our standards.
- PDF documents on our site may not be fully accessible to screen readers.
We welcome your feedback to help us identify and fix any accessibility barriers.
Continuous Improvement
Accessibility is an ongoing effort—not a one-time task. We regularly review and update our website to improve the user experience for everyone. Our improvement process includes:
- Periodic automated and manual accessibility audits using tools like Lighthouse and axe.
- Testing with keyboard-only navigation and screen readers.
- Staying up-to-date with evolving WCAG guidelines and best practices.
