The commitment
This site should be usable by everyone, including people who browse with a screen reader, with magnification, with speech recognition, with a keyboard alone, or with settings that alter contrast, text size or motion. That is treated as part of building the site rather than as something added to it afterwards.
The standard
The site is built against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 at Level AA, the standard accessibility legislation and regulators reference internationally. Meeting that level also satisfies the earlier version 2.1 at Level AA, which many regulations continue to cite. It is applied to every visitor, in every jurisdiction, without exception.
Goals
This site is built and maintained by Joe Cenatiempo, whose stated goal is for it to meet WCAG 2.2 at Level AA at all times, effective immediately, and to comply with all applicable accessibility laws. Where the site does not yet meet that level, bringing it into line is an immediate priority.
Looking further ahead, the goal is to bring the site to WCAG 2.2 at Level AAA, including sign language interpretation of recorded media, with the help of automated tools. Level AAA is not yet implemented on this site, and meeting it is not guaranteed.
This section describes goals and is provided for information only. It is not a claim that the site conforms to any standard, does not form part of any agreement, and does not affect any rights you have under the law.
Where it stands
In October 2026 every page was audited against that standard with automated browser testing: text enlarged to 200% and spacing widened, a screen 320 pixels wide, the keyboard alone, and the contrast of every line of text, including text over photographs. Every issue it found was fixed. It has not yet been audited by a person using assistive technology, so no claim of conformance is made here. What follows is what has been put in place and can be checked on any page, and then what is known not to be done. It is set out this way round on purpose: a statement claiming conformance leaves the first person to find a barrier holding a document saying it is not there.
What is in place
On every page of this site:
- Display settings, opened from the accessibility control in the lower corner of any page, which enlarge or reduce the text, raise contrast, reduce motion, and underline links. The text may be enlarged to four times your browser's own size, twice what the standard asks for. Your choices take effect immediately, apply across the site, require no account, and are kept in your browser for later visits.
- Control over motion. Everything on the site that moves stops when reduced motion is asked for, whether you ask your device for it or ask this site directly in the panel above. Both routes are answered by the same rules, so neither can fall behind the other.
- Text that follows the size set in your browser or operating system, in addition to the setting offered here. The site draws itself in relative units throughout, so a larger base size enlarges the page rather than overflowing it.
- A layout that rearranges itself for larger text and narrower screens, so text at 200% or a screen 320 pixels wide loses nothing and never scrolls sideways.
- Every control reachable and usable by keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator that is never hidden behind anything, so your position on the page is never in doubt. A company or skill tabbed to on the moving walls is brought into view.
- Details cards on the walls that stay open while the pointer moves onto them, and close with Escape.
- Camera flashes in the profile panel's stadium scene, which go off no more than three times in any second.
- Names on the controls that are not words. The skills wall's range sliders and its search field each carry a name for assistive technology to announce.
- A main landmark on every page, so assistive technology can move to the content directly.
- Text contrast at or above what Level AA asks throughout, measured against the photographs and glass behind it as well as on plain backgrounds.
What is not yet done
These are recorded so you do not meet them unannounced. Where one of them stops you doing something, say so and it will be done with you another way:
- There is no skip link. The site has no navigation bar above its content to skip past, but a keyboard reader still has no way to jump straight to the main content, and there should be one.
- The site has not been walked end to end with a screen reader.
- No assessment has been made with a screen magnifier or with speech recognition.
Reporting a barrier
If you hit something on this site you cannot use, please say so. To make it quick to fix, say which page you were on, what you were trying to do, and what you were using to do it, if you are willing to share that.
