Our commitment
TradeStead wants its public website to be usable by as many people as possible, including people who navigate by keyboard, enlarge text, use voice control or rely on assistive technology.
We design and test towards the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Accessibility is treated as part of the design, content and development process rather than a visual option added afterwards.
What we have built into the website
- A visible skip link and semantic headings to support quicker navigation.
- Keyboard-operable navigation, forms, disclosures and horizontally scrollable content.
- Persistent form errors that identify the field, retain entered information and move focus to the first problem.
- Meaningful alternative text for informative images and empty alternatives for decorative images.
- Responsive layouts, generous touch targets and text that can reflow on smaller screens.
- Colour combinations checked against WCAG AA contrast requirements.
- Reduced reliance on motion, with non-animated content available for the system journey.
Known limitations
Some third-party browser, analytics or consent interfaces may behave differently from the TradeStead interface. Older campaign artwork may contain text inside images; it is not used as the only source of important page information, and equivalent page copy is provided where those assets appear.
We continue to test new pages and components. A statement of intent is not a guarantee that every combination of browser, device and assistive technology will behave identically.
Report an accessibility problem
If something prevents you from reading a page, completing the fit-check form or understanding an interaction, email admin@tradestead.co.uk. Include the page address, what you were trying to do and, if you are comfortable sharing it, the device or assistive technology involved.
We will review the problem and provide the information in a reasonable alternative format where practical while the underlying issue is investigated.
